A filming technique used to make things look larger, more expansive or elaborate than they are. Sad that the Sci Fi tech decor is so generic / basic even clever filming / photography do not make it particularly interesting or appealing.

Well that's the funny thing, even the promo video didn't make sense, because the imagineer lady was talking about meeting the singer and she goes off screen left, he goes off screen right, and sees the singer, so was the imagineer lost?

As for hallways, I agree.

But we haven't seen the hallway to the guest room's which in the concept art looked amazing. Eventually we'll see and can make a direct one-to-one comparison. What we were shown looked to be an area by the lifts which we never had art to compare to. And yes, it looked very plain. But we don't know if that area was finished. I'd imagine the signature curves could be added along the tops and bottom of the walls as easily as trim in a home. A lot of the details that would set these spaces apart are decorative elements that could certainly go in later. We'll see. They were laying sod at Disney World the day before opening.

Here at least we see finished sets, but I ask you how accurate is this to the actual ride experience?

It clearly shows the incredibly detailed exterior and lobby interior of one of Disney's last true masterpieces. The elevator fall is depicted with dramatic license that anyone familiar with ads (and particularly theme park ads) would understand.

You're contending that in a specially produced promo video featuring the star of one of the conglomerate's hit network shows, the PR team opted to show only the least impressive parts of the experience and/or to show literally unfinished, undecorated hallways. That would demonstrate staggering, inexplicable incompetence on the part of the PR team and anyone who reviewed the video before its release. It didn't happen. That infamous promo showed the experience that was being offered at the time and, while panicked changes are possible, the one that will almost certainly be available at opening.

This is the company that opened Avengers Campus. Quality is not one of there goals.

The elevator lobby in a hotel is one of, if not the, central points of guest circulation.

Decorative elements still have to be coordinated with elements like Exit signs, fire sprinklers and even wall bases.

There is tons of availability if anyone wants to try this out for themselves. Not surprisingly, a wave of mass cancellations has happened (again).

There are a bunch of available dates, but there could be only one or two spots available on some of those dates.

With that said, there's no way this is performing the way Disney hoped. I know it's expensive (overly so), but they don't have very many rooms to fill. There are much larger regular Disney resorts that don't have any rooms available on some of those dates. They had to be hoping/expecting to see this thing fully sold out 6+ months in advance.

Virtually all of May is available right now. Want to know how bad this is? May the Fourth shows availability.

Yes, the majority of cruise dates in May have openings. But how many openings?

There are 15 cruise dates in May. That's 1,500 room reservations. How many of those 1,500 are now 'open'? We don't know. At least 12 rooms are free. We don't know how many more.

All the dates in March that had opened due to people backing out before they had to give a non-refundable full payment are now pretty much filled. Now the first half of April is under the gun to pay in full, and at least one reservation per cruise has backed out.

We'll see if that gets filled again like March did. It might not. But it's not the 'avalanche' that a certain unscrupulous blogger calls it. At least, not yet.
