Well, you're really only there for a half a day the first day, then overnight, then it's the Galaxy's Edge day, then overnight again, then checkout day...it shouldn't be too bad as I'm sure time will fly for those who are there...but the mask thing is very interesting and something I'm going to watch for.
I fully understand your valid point, however, this is supposed to be an immersive experience. Soooo to get the full immersion out of it going outside for fresh air is not advisable because the guest is in space. Any coming and going would be done via encapsulated vehicles (shuttles) which would still be enclosed atmospheres. I am sure guests can remove their masks in their designated cabins. I am confident that Disney has installed a top-of-the-line air filtration system. I am sure that all the masking protocols for indoors and enclosed spaces will be followed. It will be interesting how people will behave in this Faux space vessel.
If there was ever a hype train, it derailed in the Summer of 2019 when people started talking about pricing and SWGE opened with all the budget cuts. From there the groupthink varied from "must be nice" to "waste of money" for the most part.
Too true. I for one was super pumped, interested, curious and motivated to experience the Galactic Star Cruise when first announced. It initially sounded great and the concept art imaginative, BUT, since the initial unveiling of the concept management and the team developing the project have done everything to dampen the enthusiasm, lower expectations, cheapen the view of the experience while over pricing (way) a now projected to be low quality product. Disappointment pretty much sums it up.
Regardless of coloration / galactic species if characters were introduced / linked to whatever the experience is by known Star Wars characters the fans readily identify rather than simply throwing in new characters, with half-baked back stories, and saying look at the new characters aren't they great. The fans / guests look for established, known, characters that are the story all the new characters are merely background and story augmentation.
Example: Why not have Admiral Ackbar introduce and brief the audience to and about Captain Janeway? It would have made a really good promo teaser.
They've got the courtyard story covered lol
Admiral Ackbar is dead so maybe that's why. Although not sure where on the timeline this hotel takes place.
Yeah - GE is a very odd concept. Let's make an entirely new "Star Wars" land that doesn't appear in any of the movies or TV shows and then make it almost entirely unremarkable! It's not that I'm against the idea of building something entirely new but the land has almost no character other than an alien shopping mall. It's like somebody said "Hey, let's make a backwater star port like Mos Eisley that nobody would want to go to unless they absolutely had to but we'll call it something else so we're not tied down by existing lore but make sure we keep it looking and acting like a star port dump that nobody would go to! THEN, we'll make dozens of new movies and TV series that don't even reference this place!"
Odd concept, yes. Batuu, to me, is enjoyable and I have had fun there and believe with a few tweaks could be remarkable. I like it. As for product presentation, story development and telling plus guest involvement Disney Co. is slipping.
Understandable. I'm still in but I get why many are hesitant
I don't think anybody with money and time should cancel no matter what happens, not even if the ads are bad, not even if the reviews are bad. It's a unique experience. There is nowhere else on earth where you can stay in a space hotel. You do it because you can afford it. If it doesn't turn out to be interesting enough, you can always run to MK for the day; you are in Disney World after all.
Bob, is that you?
I'm not Bob, but am I not making any sense?
Uhhhhhh........NO.
I'm assuming they pulled the trailer because it was widely ridiculed. They don't need a ton of "news" articles saying "check out this trailer that sucks" with a link to the official video. Genie sells itself, while they can do damage to bookings if they screw up the marketing for SWGS.
You sure sound like him.
