Thank you! I'm gonna guess that perhaps the bus will leave from that side entrance, though. The way it seems to me, it'll have a side "portal" that you go through without seeing the outdoors, rather than loading where the average car is sitting. But, hey, I don't know. This looks plausible and correct as it is. Thanks!

Yes, this is what was seen in the plans for the hotel, a special loading area so it's a seamless experience.

Yeah, I forgot about the covered loading area on the side to ensure the magic!

Are they seriously just using a bus for this link?

At the very least they should use an electric bus so it doesn't smell or sound like an everyday vehicle, then theme the inside and add sound effects to make it sound like a spaceship.

From what we have seen it sounds like it will be a bus with an interior themed to a spaceship so you will stay immersed in the Star Wars world for the entire trip.

The "shuttle bay" is circled in blue so they might use the back entrance to avoid going through the parking lot.

100?

That’s insanely small.

There will almost certainly be 2-4 people per room. Having 400 people participate in a Live Action Role-Play (LARP) is pretty much a limit for keeping them engaged with the CMs running the LARP. Especially for guests not experienced with LARPing.

Going larger would require a whole different type of crowd management and engagement. It has been done, but with participants who have experience with role-playing and can keep themselves engaged with one another with minimal guidance.

100 rooms... really tells me I will never do this. No matter how big of a star wars fan I am, the cost is going to be way more than I could ever justify. Especially at a Disney park where there is so much other stuff I want to do (esp with universal and other parks nearby) and not enough time on a vacation.

I know they will make tons of money and florida is a great place to put it, but I wonder if Disney put this in an area devoid of major theme parks how big it could be, even without rides.

Just a star wars hotel with role playing. And if no rides or maybe star tours style, you could put it anywhere... no matter the weather.

You get special access to all of Galaxy's Edge. So there's 2 rides and a whole land of experiences, 3 if you count the themed shuttle ride to the land. Plus the yet-to-be-known activities in the hotel itself. You're right that this maybe would't be as big in other places but this is really only possible here or in California.

100 rooms, not 100 people.

I think they could build star wars hotels with maybe a star tours style attraction and put them in other areas. Maybe places that are too cold for a major park. Somewhere that wouldn't have a lot of competition but population and airports. Maybe not even in the us. But a premium star wars (or marvel) hotel, with role playing costumes etc. You would check in and not see the outside world during your stay. It could only be done by someone like Disney that can afford to do it right, with a product that has a huge fandom, heck universal could do something similar with HP.
