News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

[MisterPenguin]

The starcruiser experience is not worth its cost, IMO.

Do they offer adult movies? Not for me obviously, I've a friend who wants to know

Will it be themed to space with tentacle scifi stuff?
I got a weak spot for robots too.

Hrmm.. yet when you look at the Cruise Line rooms..

H20?? Wow they must be really scraping the bottom trying to describe those rooms too!

You guys are so fixated on tearing this thing down you'll easily latch on anything before even trying.

I'm still angry these bottles no longer are themed nor can be "stolen" to bring home as a souvenir. If I remember correctly.. you now have a fixed pump in your bathroom.

That's DCL

Regardless of WIFI or not..
DCL's costs for wifi are outrageous.
I remember they were charging 60+ USD for a SINGLE GB.

Meanwhile all competitors have been upgrading and you can get 50+Mbps in the middle of the sea for like 20 USD for 7 days.

And I'm def complaining.. back in 2013.. my first DCL cruise.. that same 1GB internet was 27 USD.

• What if Mark Hamill escorts you to your room?
• How about if Harrison Ford takes you to Batuu and rides RoTR with you?
• Maybe Anthony Daniels will dress up as C3PO to demonstrate the bridge's controls?
• Final offer: James Earl Jones as Darth Vader on your answering machine!

To paraphrase Roger Ebert, a good review should let the reader know what the experience is like and whether or not it's something they would enjoy.

Saying something is worth a certain amount of money or warrants a certain ranking is indeed subjective. A review should focus on letting people know things like how much time is devoted to activities, what types of things happen, what is the scope of the offerings, etc.

Also, any review content shared here should really be marked as spoilers, for anyone not wanting to hear every detail.

uhhh this whole group are spoilers...for years

I think the "felt worth the price" will be the contentious issue to the detractors. Firstly the source will be criticised for being a Disney fan not wanting to upset Disney and secondly some will argue how is 2 days worth all those $$$'s. I suppose a review is also 'subjective' and some have made their mind up already and won't change it as that's the hill they've decided to die on.

I guess we'll have to wait till the paying customers respond when it opens to get genuinely debatable feedback, where they're not accused of being 'bought' by Disney.

On the good side, we at least have an idea of what is going on inside.
But lets be honest.. Disney has manipulated surveys before in cynical ways to never have negative points so the lower managers could look pretty to their higher managers.

You just need to bring plenty of empties to fill up!

I looked through the three Star Wars movies made. His name didn't come up... Who is this Oscar Isaac you speak of? Was he one of the Ewoks?

#1 will lead to many unsavoury things.

Spoiler: hush

Like drinking blue milk while watching a rerun of the Christmas specials. So lewd *shudders*

but..but.. I miss the Mickey themed bottles!

Don't worry, Ebay has you covered!

No one would have argued with you if you had made that statement from the get-go!

They weren't arguing with me, I was arguing with them as they created a fantasy of multiple failures and spurious issues.

LARPing not your thing? Fine. But don't make up stupid scenarios to show the LARPing will be a failure because one really doesn't understand what a massive LARPing event is like (which have been done successfully in the past).

Can't accept there being no pool? Fine. But don't harp on technical definitions of "hotel" to show what a massive failure the starcruiser is for *failing* to have a pool like every hotel in existence!!

Not immersive enough for you? Fine. But don't make the completely laughable argument that it *must* be *100% immersive.* Such things don't exist anywhere in themed entertainment.

A promotional video cringey? Sure. But plenty of Disney's promotional videos have also been cringey. Zip Zip. Do the Space Mountain rap! Zip zip!

BTW, I've already said long ago that if anyone complains about the price, I wouldn't argue with that. But when people get into a monomaniacal focus to tear something down, facts and reason go out the airlock.

BUT MY POOL KAREEEEN. I NEED MY POOOOOOL.
I EVEN BROUGHT MY WOOKIE POOL NODDLES AND I SURE AS HELL WILL USE THEM! (they ended using the pool noddles to beat Kylo into submission)

Well, it's mostly things Disney has revealed.

I'm just suggesting using spoiler tags for story elements, like such and such character appears in the finale and such and such happens.

I think this nails it on the head. Right now, we don't have any real idea of what the experience is going to be like, and I think for most people, that's the first question that needs to be asked. Disney is trying something relatively new and out of the box for them, did they get it right? Price is completely subjective, although still an important part of an individual's purchasing decision, and I am sure for Disney, they care if they got the price point right. But for anyone actually thinking about booking a stay, first the experience has to "work". If I am buying something, I first need to know, do I want it/does it work? If I don't/it doesn't the cost is irrelevant. Let's say someone offered me tickets to the ballet for $10,000K per night for a local high school performance. I am not going b/c I don't like the ballet. Similarly, someone offers me tickets to the Bolshoi, for $50, I am still not going. Why, b/c I still don't like the ballet. The perceived "value" of one ticket vs the other is irrelevant to the idea of if i want to go.

Once there is evidence that what is being offered is good/entertaining. Then everyone can make their own opinions as to if the juice is worth the squeeze.

First test cruise happened yesterday. Heard this second-hand report....

" They were not in full costume yet. But I was told the food was great the rooms are really cool , in the show (finale) was fun . Now for some spoilers the bar is kind of small there is only one sabacc table that holds 5 People. That seems a little small."

The on ship shop..."It's mostly clothing, the usual patches pins things like that . The show was the end show finale With the 1st order invasion. Kylo and ray battle. The first night is the singer"

"20 at a time lightsaber training"

the experience "felt worth the price"

source: a post in my Starcruiser spoiler FB group from a member.

Is the singing as cringe-worthy as what’s shown in the video?
