Which makes saying that the experience is universally loved, misinformation. The most telling and probably honest assessment of the experience is the wide scale ridicule which has been heaped upon it. If the initial media previews were any indication, the most common takeaway is that even for average Star Wars fans the experience was overpriced for what it offered. I’m not saying it’s a bad experience, but I am sure that if I wanted to plunk down a couple thousand for the ability to experience it, I would have a much more positive outlook on the experience.How do you propose getting a neutral point of view?
Picking out people randomly from the general population and sending them there?And if they like it, will you or others then ad hominem, too: "Well, of course they liked it, they didn't pay anything to go!!"?There is no population that one could choose to get "an honest review" that, if positive, couldn't be ad hominemed into proclaiming their review was tainted in some way by whatever characteristic they may have (or imagined to have).The worst ad hominem so far is the one you just gave which boils down to: "Well of course they liked it, they're Star Wars fans!!!" As if people who didn't care for the IP would sign up for an IP-heavy event.
WRT to sold out rooms. The number of sold out rooms keeps increasing, albeit at a slower rate than initially. Adding three months worth of new inventory would tend to spread people out and reduce the frequency of dates that become fully booked.
To your last point, the ability to book through the end of the year has been available for quite some time now. Most Disney trips are booked more than 3 months out. The large amount of availability should be alarming to those interested in the future of this experience. It relies heavily on sold out “cruises”. The expectation was that this experience would be continually sold out. It is not meeting that expectation.
