Are you planning on staying at the Star Wars resort?

Will the price be per room or per "participant"?

Good question. Not sure. Would be a big difference. $2000/2 stings more than $2000/4.

...this. And since this will probably take 5+ years...it really would depend on what they do with the franchise between now and then.

Would you pay $1000 a night on Star Wars after the prequels? Don’t think that would have been an easy sell

Say in 2001, I would have been going based on OT, not EP 1. Even in 2003, it still would have been based on the OT. If it were $1000/nt for quad occupancy, I might have gotten 3 buddies to do it. Inflation would have cut it to roughly $500/nt. So $1000 for a trip. We did a football game where we paid $100/ticket. Plenty more on drinks. I think we might have done it.

Stuff (my keyboard censors me) has gotten expensive. A UGA fan friend mentioned how much tickets for the UGA-ND game this past season were. I've heard some crazy ticket price stories. Cubs world series. NFL season tickets, with the PSLs they make you buy aren't cheap. Not completely overlapping audiences, but people are shelling serious coin for experiences. Disney cruises aren't cheap. I spent $30 or so for what, like 10 minutes of the experience at the Void. At $180/hr, the $1000/nt looks reasonable (/sarcasm).

It will be expensive. People will do it. I expect it will be priced at a level where there is massive demand and it will be difficult to get a room.

I asked if it was per room or per person as I'm soon going to be a family of 5 (2 adults / 3 kids), and that could get super pricey quickly if it were per person. Not sure the itty bitty's would get it.

I have no interest in LARPing in Wookieeworld for a week.

It's just not my thing.

I think they're talking 2 days. Have you seen the videos of the Pirate adventures they did? Shorter, on the order of a few hours. Problem from the WDW side was that it took a lot of CM time. Working on tech to scale the narratives. They're linked on another GE/SW Hotel thread.

I don't think my wife nor younger daughter would do it. It would be a mix of me, my dad, daughter, and one other lucky family member.

Only if I win a stay

I think someone, based on those surveys they did, mooted something like $1000 per person for the first two, plus say $500 per additional person. ???

Going to need a lot more info first.

Are you planning on staying at the Star Wars resort?

Why, do you know a place in the hotel in which I can hide out indefinitely?

 

[LAKid53]

Two words - Heck YES!

 

[Dreaming of Disney World]

I personally have zero interest in it, but my husband wants to stay there. However, if it's as expensive as you guys are guessing we won't be staying there.

 

["El Gran Magnifico"]

Would want to wait at least 6 months after opening for that kind of money. See what the reviews had to say.........give them some time to work out the kinks.

I'm sure it will have growing pains. Don't necessarily want to be one of the first to experience it. If I were alive back in 1912, I'd have waited at least 6 months before booking my trip on the Titanic - which would have proven a wise decision. I don't think the SWH is going to hit an iceberg but may encounter some space debris when it fires out of the gate.

 

[LUVofDIS]

It totally depends on the price and what exactly is offered. Too much unknown at this point to say yay or nay.

 

[NickWilde]

Yes. Of course, as long as it isn't TOO expensive...

 

[Maerj]

If I can afford it, I definitely would stay there. I would move in, if they'd let me.

Dynamic Stories is the term Scott Trowbridge uses for the 'narratives' people were led on through Adventureland. I thought they looked very fun. And I learned how to embed youtube videos Quote insertion gets you to the "raw" code of a post.

There's been a lot of discussion about the rides in Galaxy's Edge, but not a lot about the interactive elements of the land. I found two videos from around 2014-2015, the first before the Star Wars lands were announced, where Scott Trowbridge talks about what WDI's been working on in an attempt to enable guests to take a more active role in Disney's parks. They state similar things, but the first video is much more in depth. The relevant material starts around 25:35 in the first video. The whole second video is pretty cool. I can't wait to see what they do with things like Story Engine in Star Wars land!

Second video from that link points away from VR

I have been in Florida for 46 years so they don't worry me much. The Canada geese that decided to stay here permanently are much more of a threat.

Geese are dicks

 

[KINGLOUIS1993]

I have never stayed in Disney hotel before and were considering it next time we go, this would be my top choice as we are all massive Star Wars Fans butttt it all depends on cost because it is soooo much cheaper in the villa.

 

[xdan0920]

No chance. And it has nothing to do with the cost. I just can't imagine playing dress up and LARPing for days on end. No offense to anyone who likes those things. Different strokes for different folks as it were.

Second only to swans.
