I like to think of myself as having the blackest heart on this site...but I have idea what her finances are, could be the heiress to the largest blogging empire in Orlando or could be a single mom who could never afford that for her kids. I can certainly see being overcome with emotion if it’s the later. That may be genuine
The kids expression looks like my daughters minor meltdown from being overtired or stimulated.

I guess I'm curious... for all of us who saw it looks fun but overpriced. What price point would you consider paying for it?

I wouldn't even go for free. Would have to pay me to go.

Slightly less than the two night price of a Disney Cruise standard plus 100 bucks for the DHS access. An additional 100 bucks since this is like a mini indoor theme park in itself if If one really wants to argue that value of the park time you may take away from the hotel.

About 1400 at most for me. It's not even a true 48 hours so I think 1,000 for me realistically. So I may never go until kids are younger and there is a lot riding. Imagine getting a stomach bug bad timing. It can happen anywhere but with only 40 hours or less of fun you blew it all.

2 people per room would only need 36,500 people to fill 100 rooms for the entire year. So with over 330,000,000 people in the US, they need only need 0.011% of the population to go to fill it. With 4 people per room it needs 0.022% and that is with no foreign customers. Now, if just 0.11% of the population go or 99.89 dont go the place will full 100% for 5 years, with 4 per room, and if they come up with a new mission every 5 years it will stay that way.

Wait, so... I am sooo confused here.

Is this a ride?
The pre-show video sure seems like it is.
Why do we need a "STORY MOMENT ALERT" is the storyline that bad, that you can't figure out what is going on?

Do they think folks are going to be so engaged that, if let's say a "real fire" breaks out, no one is going to believe it?
Or do the assume some idiot will vape in there room and set off the alarm at 3am... (Betting YES on that one)
When does the air masks deploy and do you put yours on first, then asset children and elderly?

Is this Star Tours, because that pre-show looks like star tours.

Who's the FIRST to open the emergency hatch.... is there one of those bars on the hatch?
"Warning door is alarmed?"
No. It’s because the story involves a pretend emergency with alarms and flashing lights. They want to make it clear for guests how to distinguish between the two.

That's a misleading way to look at the numbers. First of all, only some percentage (a much, much smaller percentage) of that 330M US population number could actually afford this. Then you have to eliminate all the ones who have no interest in Disney, and the ones who have no interest in Star Wars (there's obviously some overlap between these two groups).

I have no idea what the actual potential market/customer base is for this, but it's not that big when all factors are taken into account -- price being the largest. You might attract more Disney fans who don't care that much about Star Wars (among other categories) at a lower, price point which is why I expect the price will eventually decrease to some extent.

Regardless, I'm sure that was part of the consideration when they made it this size. It's obviously easier to keep 100 rooms full (or close to full) than 300.

Did anyone mention the Disney Vloggers only got a 4 hour experience?

It was only real journalists who got the full weekend paid for.

Really? I was going to watch a couple later (AllEars and ResortTV1) - I thought they showed themselves packing for it in some instragrams I saw.

That's weird. 😂

The Dis went for a full trip, with 2 nights stay and a trip to Galaxy's Edge. Their video for the trip is over 2 hours long. I think its a good overview of the entire experience. I found it a more favorable view of the trip than the 4 hour experience video was.
