Star Wars Augmented Reality Package

[Pixie VaVoom]

The metal is solid gold and the light saber is also a cheese slicer.

hey for that price - I want a "Death Star" made of solid Smoked Gouda

 

[Pixie VaVoom]

I try to fly under the radar.

yeah - but can you do the "Kessel run in under 12 parsecs" under the radar ??

 

[Rickster7]

Embarrassing ! Can't take much more.

 

[RobidaFlats]

Will it ever end....seriously? For that price I can buy a 10 day MYW w/ park hopper!!

Comparisons like that will only lead to someone at the company deciding that the 10 day MYW w/ park hopper is too cheap

Not true about SW decorations for your stateroom. All 4 styles are still on the DCL site - I ordered Halloween decorations yesterday. Including the cooler. Just no cookies.

I didn't see it today!

When is your cruise? If it's before mine 11/16. Please take photos!!! I would much rather do the cruise one, and then smaller gifts from Disney floral and gifts- there's a Santa bag that you can choose to fill which is almost half the price.

I'm just worried about the stateroom feeling smaller with things hanging from the ceiling. I haven't read any complaints about the decorations though, so people must like them.

If Darth Vader came to my room every morning of my stay, drove me to the parks, and then escorted me past security with no wait, I would absolutely pay this. Otherwise, forget it.

 

[KLinder7]

Any chance they are testing the app part with Floral to roll it out later for free minus the room decorations, etc?

 

[tk924]

I am a huge SW fan with a collection of SW items whose value exceeds the price of a pretty nice luxury car and there is no way I would spend anything approaching $500 for this.

Ditto. I've got Stormtrooper armor that cost less than $500.

Oh yikes. Just... yikes to all of this... The price, the 'costume'... all of it.
Also, Disney does realize that people are going to still play pokemon, right?

 

[LongLiveTheKing]

Here's the thing with this game. I get that Disney parks in itself, day to week long vacations for a large price, inherently are not exactly good value propositions in terms of cost when compared to something permenent like electronics like your house. We're talking about a video game, though, and I could have bought an XBOX One at launch for $500. I would have been super interested in Adventure Land Trading Co and the Frontierland game for their price points because that was reasonable. This Star Wars game doesn't even look that good enough for a typical $60 price tag on a AAA game that cost tens of millions of dollars to make, and this cheap game they have has the audacity to charge $500 for some souvineers and an app game?

Ditto. I've got Stormtrooper armor that cost less than $500.

Joke's on you. Storm Trooper armor hasn't deflected crap in any of the movies.

I wonder similar things about every single thing sold by Disney Floral and Gifts. Every gift basket they sell seems overpriced for what you actually receive.

How is this
•(2) Storybook Chocolate – 5 pack, assorted flavors
•22” Mickey Mouse Plush
•Goofy’s Candy Co. Character Gummies
•Goofy’s Candy Co. Jelly Beans
•(5) Walker’s Shortbread Cookies, 2 pack
•(10) Assorted Ghirardelli Squares
•Mickey Mouse Icon Beveled Frame – 5” x 7”
worth $132?

Even considering it is delivered to your hotel room I don't see more than $75 of merchandise maybe?

Probably even less than $75, when you consider that a lot of these snacks are pretty cheap over at the local Big Lots or Sam's.

Much to my surprise, the first I heard of this beyond @wdwmagic was a friend who is going in the fall with a 4 year old son. They are planning to get it. I questioned them on the cost and value of it and the comparison they made was to a birthday party - they made a pretty sound argument. A lot people pay that kind of money for a location and activity for a few hours on a birthday with a group of the kid's friends. All they take home is pictures of the fun (well, and the presents from the other kids). For this, they are getting the decorations, costume, lightsaber, satchel, holocron, medal, and journal plus the pictures of the fun. They see this as a much better value than a birthday party for a little kid who is obsessed with all things Star Wars.

While I would never in my life pay for this (and I'm pretty Star Wars obsessed), I can see their point.

You are also able to buy almost all of the items individually (in case you have another child that can't be left out, I assume). Here's the price breakdown
Package includes the following items:

Disguise $86.99

•(1) Imperial Security Satchel
•(1) Imperial Rank Bar
•(1) Set of Rebel of Diversion Tattoos
•(1) Imperial Security Cap​

•(1) Empire Door Banner $81.99

SUBTOTAL: $366.91

Item included I was not able to add separately:
•(1) Wayfinder set and Mission Briefing $?.??

Either I'm missing something, or the mission briefing must be $133.09 to make up the rest of the $500 price tag.

NOTE: Local delivery is available for ~$10 to offsite locations, so, it's not that.

You're not missing anything, Floral and Gifts just bumbled on the price. Use of the app and delivery to your room is nearly $150. I don't see how anyone could justify that price.

The package should be priced at $299 or $349 and include a free FastPass for Star Tours for your party.

Looks like the standard florist markup to me. I can always buy like 4x the amounts of identical flowers + vase for what the florist would charge for an arrangement.

 

[jme]

I mean, the prices are already marked up for the individual items, but upcharging $133 on top of that to get the full package is insanity.

None of their packages are that price. This one is on par with all of their choices. It's a little more, $50, because, well, it's Star Wars.. And that's a premium right now.

Can you purchase it all individually, or are they add ons? I didn't check. I wish you could mix and match the packages.. They need to come out with a Star Wars themed Christmas option.

I think all of those costume/prop bits were add ons only. Meant for parties who need/want to outfit multiple people in the party.

All of the individual items have the disclaimer

This product is only available when purchased with an In-Room Celebration.

So, you have to buy the full bundle, and they are all add-ons.

My point was that even they only value the package at $133 less than they are charging when you break it down.

That's how the one I'm doing is set up. I wish if you were buying one "experience" that you could choose individual items from another as well. Ours comes with Minnie Mouse items that a 6 year old boy probably won't care about, but if I could throw something Star Wars themed from the list as well it would be perfect. Maybe in the next month they'll realize that Christmas/Star Wars combo could be a hit.
