News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

[Theme Park Horizons]

I think they’re taking some time to figure out “how many people will pay for galaxy view suites?”. After that’s decided, then they can start building.

I would pay 500 dollars MAX but I know its going to be MUCH more expensive lol

I’m scared of what the prices will be! This hotel will most likely be a “1 time only” visit for us. I’m hoping they don’t go too crazy with pricing.

I heard ( from a gondola operator) that it is being moved to the MK where the theatre was going to be.

Grand Floridian > Star Wars Hotel IMO

If they are smart, it doesn't open until a couple years after SW:GE. Why? Because the SW fans will go twice that way - once for just SW:GE, and again for the Starship resort.

I haven't been hearing ANY other news about the Star Wars themed hotel

Maybe because there is no other news yet.

 

[jimbaker84]

Its a hotel, so no chance of being cancelled. Probably added the main street theatre budget to it.

I hope you’re correct.

There's no way they'll delay the massive cash cow that will come from this

It looks like there are various projects in different stages of delays. At least they've come up with a new theme song to play at several parks: 'Slip, Slidin' Away' !!

It's obviously really premature, but it wouldn't surprise me if it ended up getting axed or seriously cut down further down the line. It seemed like they released the Blue Sky concept, which I'm sure would make buckets of money, but would be the kind of commitment that the makes The Mouse uneasy as of late.

Any thoughts about the Star Wars themed hotel supposedly being built next to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. Do you think its been postponed ahead of the 2021 projected opening? Disney currently has so many projects going on right now and maybe this isn't at the top of their list like the Main Street Theater. What are your thoughts?

They may have put it on hold-it no secret the numbers for the last Star Wars movie were disappointing, the merchandise sales have also been disappointing. Add that to the bleeding at ESPN and one has to wonder what is going on. I have my suspicions but they probably belong in the politics section.

A hotel that's been around for decades is better than a hotel that's not even built yet? Tremendous.

I knew I would get a little bit of backlash when I posted this. It’s just my opinion. I prefer the Victorian theme. I totally understand how this could wind up being someone’s favorite Disney Resort and I’ll respect that also. I’m not the biggest fan of the Star Wars Franchise either.

I misunderstood.. I thought you were referring to the potential price point of the SW hotel vs GF.

Haha. In that context, SW > GF

Ah yes because being the highest grossing movie of 2017 certainly means that Star Wars is dead...

"Disappointment" with a movies performance is not just a matter of how much it made, but how much the production company expected it to make.

Obviously I am not an insider so I don't know what Kennedy was expecting but being the second highest grossing film in the series can't be a bad thing...

My point is Star Wars is not a dead IP like some on here want to believe.

TLJ only pulled in $41 million in China. Maybe 10% of original expectation.
