News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

[ᗩLᘿᑕ ✨ ᗩζᗩᗰ]

In need of a good laugh? I had a thought. What if Disney actually said publicly, "We hear you. We have more work still do. We want to bring this up to our standard and that of the Star Wars Universe and it's fandom... blah blah blah. We have delayed the launch of this galactic experience until we X Y Z...."

Who is actually responsible for this? I understand the man at the top is Chapek and he deserves the blame. I doubt he was the one designing this though, just slashing the budget.

Who is responsible for the creative side of this? How where they allowed to miss the mark by this much without anyone saying anything?

If I was Chapek this never gets opened to paying customers, everyone gets a full refund. I bring in Lucus, Favreau and Filino hand them a blank check and tell them to fix this mess.

Well it’s time for him to move on.

Given the discussion on here about Peter Sciretta and Ordinary Adventures, this is an interesting comment on another YouTuber forum

definitely the most successful video to date.

The amount of "self congratulations" among that team is insane.

I'd dare say this is the most narcissistic space cruise that ever existed.

I'm having a panic attack just looking at that, my god, talk about claustrophobic.

Hope they make your bed each day with daily housekeeping. Any news on that???

Video leak is confirmation on the "Engine Noise" ambiance. Kind of creepy though, no?

 

[CinematicFusion]

So who’s baby is The Galactic Starcruiser?
Who is responsible?

 

[Dragonman]

I just want a simple speeder bike coaster gliding around Galaxy's Edge.

With Boba on your tail to add some adrenaline

A bunch of brown-nosing yes peoples.

Maybe if they throw in Beaker from the muppets things will improve? Worth a shot

I pay far less per night for my grand villa at the Boardwalk. This is beyond an embarrassment.

 

[CinematicFusion]

A bunch of brown-nosing yes peoples eager to retain their jobs.

They are about to get fired like few people have been fired before.

This will be a colossal train wreck in the social media universe.

Universal is loving this.

Disney has dropped the ball with Star Wars. One of the greatest franchises in the history of film.
Unbelievable that Disney can fumble this bad in their own arena.

But…this is the same Disney who locked out Darth Vader, the greatest villain of all time, out of Galaxy’s Edge. Even went so far as to make sure he can never get in because of the freaking timeline. So maybe we should have seen this coming.

This idea was literally a lay up with everyone desperate to go experience this Star Wars hotel concept.
It was sold out for months.

May the internet trolls have mercy on Disney’s soul.

Trowbridge can’t really believe all that immersion talk he’s spewing, can he?

Whoever wrote that WDI discussion needs a new career.

Even if the experience of the hotel is an enormous flop, there's absolutely no reason they can't just convert it to a normal hotel. Absolutely no reason they couldn't. The current price point is extreme, and that's by design, they're trying to find a very niche portion of Disney that stays in Concierge at Yacht and Beach Club or Wilderness Lodge. The margins on this are likely very generous, they likely could be charging $3,000 instead of $6,000 and turn a profit.

If that doesn't work, you're telling me, you don't think converting this to a normal hotel without extensive activities and charging $1000 a night wouldn't work? This experience may not exist in its current iteration till the end of time, but y'all making it seem like this will be like Superstar limo.

I think turning it into a normal hotel is the last thing they would do -- it would struggle to sell rooms. They're tiny and there are almost no amenities, not to mention a lack of transportation to get anywhere else on property (obviously they could add this, but that would be a lot of expense for a small number of customers). The immersive story part of the experience is the main reason they're charging such a high price, and that would certainly be eliminated entirely if they were going to turn it into a normal hotel.

They're far more likely to turn it into an upcharge experience where people can go dine in the restaurant/hang out at the bar, do the lightsaber training etc.

It's a small, cramped hotel with small, cramped rooms and a few small, cramped public areas. It can house only a very limited number of guests who, if they are paying reasonable rates, can barely support the necessary staff. It has no pool or other standard hotel amenities. The exterior is entirely unthemed, so you can't add external public spaces or even windows without essentially rebuilding much of the structure.

It's not going to work as a standard hotel.
