I disagree. It’s right in the description: “It’s the most immersive Star Wars story ever created—one where you live a bespoke experience and journey further into a Star Wars adventure than you ever dreamed possible.”

You’re to live out an experience where you assume a role and interact with characters committed to the entire conceit, taking on all the accoutrements of LARPing (bespoke costumes, weapons, dining experiences). They may not have used the literally word LARPing, but this fits the functional definition.

Some screen shots from the latest promo. Notice that nobody appears to be wearing SW gear even though this is supposed to be LARPing experience.

Has Disney ever officially said this was a LARP'ing experience? The marketing material I've seen uses the same lame "live your own adventure" language that they do for Galaxy's Edge, Avengers Campus, etc.

In their marketing materials do they position this as a LARP and tell people to create a character, wear a costume, and say the cast will interact with them based on that character's role?

Or is it "Hey, it's a Star Wars themed area, so if you want to wear a Jedi robe while you walk around, knock yourself out."

These pictures certainly would suggest that, but if someone could post the specific LARP rules/guidelines they have sent out that would be interesting.

What was posted above certainly didn't say this was a LARP experience. Unless your are taking "bespoke experience" and "choose your own path" to mean LARP, which would be quite a leap.

So let me get this straight. A vlogger says something's good at Disney it's because they don't want to upset Disney and are lying. If they say anything bad about Disney then it must be true and 100 times worse than anything else because it made them break rule number one of always saying everything is great even if it's not?

And people say Disney skew their polls about customer experiences in their parks to favour themselves? :rolleyes:

Your strawman argument is clear - "Almost all vloggers used to smooch Disney's butt regardless of everything" does not mean "everything was bad but they lied and said it was great", it means "They'd put a good spin even on whatever bad things were there so they could keep their access to the good things". The claim wasn't that 100% of things were bad, but that obviously things were not good 100% of the time, as is true in life, and yet vloggers tend to sweep those under the rug to stay in Disney's good graces. There's a REALLY big difference between "everything's bad but I'll pretend it's all good" and "Lots of things are good so I'll gloss over the percentage that isn't", and most people can understand that difference.

This, then, means that if a Vlogger was usually inclined to gloss over whatever bad there was before, the fact that they now aren't letting it go suggests and increased level of badness over what they were willing to accept before. It obviously doesn't mean it's "100 times worse than anything else". It just suggests the needle has moved to a point where people aren't staying silent about it anymore.

It doesn't require a lot of nuance to understand their point. Seems like the one who's skewing things here is you.

As a man of, ahem, a certain age, I can confirm that things look better with dim lighting. But that doesn't mean the product in the dim lighting is actually good. It may have been great in 1977, but in 2022 it's not... good.

We're still talking about fake Star Wars hotels, right? ;)



There was so much potential to market this concept purely as only the in-universe Chandrila Star Lines marketing department could do. But they failed, or more accurately, they didn't even try. Instead we get a roundtable of WDI ladies who have apparently never seen a single Star War, a perky Imagineer with a suspicously odd first name like Ann Morrow, an annoying C List sitcom actor, and Burbank's lone Cool Dad executive who can fit into skinny jeans. :rolleyes:



It wasn't just you. That kind of Portland Circa 2014 crap bugs me too. It's so tiresome and painfully curated.

Again, instead of a Chandrila Star Lines cruise director telling us about the Halcyon, we have that lame 38-year-old-trying-to-still-look-29 hipster from Glendale humblebragging about the fake hotel he helped make.

This entire thing is such a slow motion train wreck.

It's honestly unlike anything I've seen from Disney since Light Magic. But at least with Light Magic in 1997, they didn't release official YouTube videos to make themselves look like idiots before the thing even opens.

So basically this $6000 experience is Ogas cantina and Space 220 inside the ROTR queue attached to the hangar bay room with some cruise ship activities (without the cruise) and character meet and greets thrown in? Except you end your day in a claustrophobic room instead of a Deluxe or 5 star hotel?

The only shot this hotel had is if it opened before Galaxies Edge and even then the price is way too steep for what it sounds like they re delivering.

This does SEEM to be what they're promoting.

Pretty sure your Old pic is a rendering. So nothing was cut after already being installed.

That's not a rendering, it is a photo - but according to Forbes, it's a photo of a Mockup Room. So it makes sense that there would be some changes between the photograph and the finished room featured in the video.

Here's another photo from a different angle in the mockup showing the same Ladder configuration:

Here's an actual rendering, for reference - notice the ladder has yet a different configuration here, suggesting Disney played around with that a good bit over development:

Not LARP... really never intended to be. Immersive cosplay. Some will mind others won't.

Don’t worry - no real spoilers there.

I think the butt-kicking he mentions is metaphorical, talking more about the two shows/characters than any sort of fight between them.
Click to expand...
She.... ladies can like SW too ;)

But yes, it was a comparison of the shows, the characters and their personalities. Not a fight between the two. I said as much later. They are both mandalorian types so was comparing that. I loved one show and the character for the title role, and didn't at all on the other.

Even though the entire series has been out a while I wouldn't spoil yet. Though a month or so from now and I wouldn't think to care. Especially on a SW group.

Sorry! :oops:

I know you're a girl but I was looking at her post replying to yours at the time where I didn't see your icon (which is, honestly, how I rember 2/3 of people here) and I made a bad default assumption. :(
Click to expand...
Oh sorry. I didn't mean it seriously. No need to feel bad. Mostly poking at how many think it's weird at times when a female likes SWs and sorta related LOTR. People assume my husband likes it more than me and I'm just a Disney chick.

I'm like you, I totally associate with icons. It gets me when two people have the same and I'm stuck trying to figure out who is who 😉
