You would get perks for SWL and visit it as part of your stay.. so think of like getting special perks that other guests not staying at the experience would not get. Extra FP, m&g or whatever.

Think for yourselfer
I mean the specifics. Not the plans for his type of resort. Also. I haven't kept up on the thread, if the deets have been confirmed, then I bow to our insiders.

I say again.. very real
Of course this is the pitch - what is final is of course subject to change. The coverage here is basically what's taken from the survey Disney was using to test people's price tolerance and what elements should be included (or not).

Also, it would be super cool if you could pick to experience the light side or the dark side. But that might be a bit too ambitious.

This is exactly what I thought earlier. My family and I love Disney Cruises and will often do a 3 or 4 night cruise and then stay at WDW for some nights after. I see this SW experience as being extremely similar.

You mean like Star Wars Weekends was? and the upcharged dessert parties/VIP tour? Sounds like this includes the meals (Galactic Breakfast? Rebel Hangar?) and resort. But with SWW you were able to decide if you wanted to part or all of the SW stuff, including special events. Hope they don't take away that ability to also let us mere mortals pick and choose what we want to experience without having to pay MORE for every dang thing.
We did the Star trek experience years ago in LV-LOVED the transporter room/effect.

It would make sense for continuity purposes. Everyone is part of it and nobody is ahead or behind. Also, when I saw the thread title, I thought this was going to be about a Mickey Thomas themed hotel.

For $1000 a day they better start breeding Tawn Tawns(spelling?), so that I can cut one open and sleep in its belly, that's the kind of immersion I'd want at that price

Especially if SWL in DHS ends up expanding to include more content/attractions (since it doesn't seem like DL has the space allocated to do so).

Hmmm...
1. An Indiana Jones themed concept would be really cool and have a potential broad appeal
2. Could an offering like this be a way to utilize Marvel in WDW by not having it at a "theme park"? It might tread too closely to the retail concept that is prohibited in the Uni deal.
Fairly certain a Marvel theme would not be allowed. Could be wrong though.

I think it stands to do gangbusters.
My only concern was the final product living up to the pitch. It is a very neat idea, with very nice concepts and visuals. They are planning on pools/etc that appeared to be outside. That was one element that didn't seem to make sense to me in the whole starship concept. I thought they were literally going for the 'walled in' experience, do not see the outside world.
When people looking at the pricing, they need to ensure they look at the wholistic approach. If you look at it itemized, you'll always scoff at it. But if you look at something and say, "We are going to spend 3k to go on a 3 day cruise... or 3k on a 3 day star wars universe escape" it doesn't sound as far fetched.
The way they were aiming.. this is not even comparable to what you all are doing at WDW and the theme parks. To suggest it should just be part of SWL completely misses the idea of full immersion.. to the point of some people even doing LARP, etc.
Imagine sitting in a lounge, and then unexpectedly having a scene like the gangster scene from GMR happening live around you with live actors, effects.. but it's star wars characters! And then you join in on the mission, etc.
This kind of experience is intended for those that want to pretend they ARE in the star wars universe... not just visiting.

I would have to do this at least once.
I'd also wonder what they will do about people who just want to visit the hotel but not actually stay there. Would they be viewed as getting too much of the "experience" without actually paying for it? If I was at WDW and staying somewhere else I would totally want to check it out.

Doubt that would be allowed.
