News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

[mickEblu]

I feel like Gandalf having no memory of this place... buffet? The food is a buffet??? I thought it was served to you at the table and presented in a glamorous manner upon arrival etc...

And then at night they turn the very same cafeteria/ buffet into a “fancy” dinner with mood lighting.

Truly astonishing how low rent and embarrassing this is. Who could have imagined this would be the grand dining room experience when this was announced?

Listen to Disney creative executives answer the question of if Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser is worth the high asking price

Hear from Executive Creator Director Wendy Anderson and Executive Producer Ann Morrow Johnson.

That video of the two executives being asked about the value - I don't think I've ever seen someone do so much dancing without, apparently, moving their feet.*

If this Disney gig doesn't work out for them, I think both of these women have a potentially bright future in politics.



*to be fair, we can't actually see their feet so there may be some river dance on carpet happening, here.

Wow, you watched that whole video in record time!! Did you download it and watch it at 10X speed?!?

Just a general warning…as I’m sure you are aware.

Lots of eye roll cringiness so far but that will change I’m sure

“What?…you’re there the first day or on a press pass and you LOVE It?!?”

…would never have guessed that reaction

 

[MisterPenguin]

And with those pics, I think it's safe to say we can all stop talking about LARP'ing

Hey, did you see the videos of the successful LARPing?

 

[MisterPenguin]

I was hoping that somebody would post videos of these delicious exchanges and save us all the $6K, but I'm starting to think committed "characters" are going to be few and far between.

Hey, did you see the videos where just about everyone got to interact with quite a few of "the characters"?

 

[corran horn]

This is the whole thing to me

Disney isn’t the place for steak…so don’t get too geeked.

Had some pretty good ones at Le Cellier.

No one believes it is 6K per person. The costs are very clearly posted on the Disney web site. How many people in the cabin with him? The costs in the 6K's are per cabin. I would wager to say he is rooming with three other people.

He’s ridiculous. If I take my family of 4 I’m paying $6000 which I dare say most people that are going with family members. Certainly there will be some groups of friends who go, but I have a feeling the majority will be families.

Said no one ever, and certainly not Disney.

Anybody invested enough to be there before the new car smell has evaporated is going to have a skewed perspective. The real test is the casual guest who doesn’t think about theme parks everyday — e.g. Len’s gushing sounded very much like somebody in the industry who was excited by the logistics as much as anything. Not sure average guests are going to have the same takeaway.

Don’t underestimate the number of single, childless Disney-obsessive weirdos around Central Florida. They’ll probably become the cringiest thing about this place.

At some point people should define the attributes of a person whose opinion of their GS experience they will trust.

So now paying customers are going - but those are people who were so eager for the "new car smell" experience that their opinions are tainted.

So we wait a little while - well, those are people who don't want to admit they wasted their money.

So we wait more - well, Disney responded to feedback and now it's different. (as it inevitably will be)

 

[casplas]

so a new charachter for star wars? a sith lord visit?

 

[Communicora]

But should it need to be avoided? If a group wants to stay together to ride a ride, they aren't split up. Why is this any different? if my 8 year old doesn't want to ride Smuggler's Run and we do a rider switch, will they be excluded as well? I think this is a flaw in the system.

I think we are all overthinking this little situation. I'm sure they'd find a way to accommodate a child. It seems fine and good that adults who make slightly different choices would get slightly different experiences. Isn't that part of the point of it?

 

[dreday3]

This is normally frowned upon, with the major exceptions being Star Wars and Iron Maiden.

Can attest to Iron Maiden!

Disney continued construction during Covid shutdown. I wonder if there were any cutbacks.

Reviews from the bloggers can't be trusted, they were brought.
Reviews from people like Len can't be trusted. He likes the logistics.

Positive reviews from regular guests will be similarly attacked. They don't want to admit they wasted $$$. They aren't smart enough to see how bad it is.

Some posters will only accept bad reviews as being valid.

 

[TikibirdLand]

There are fewer and fewer original fans every day.

I beg to differ...

Yeah…. Not everyone is “in the can”

But that guy surely is

I just think this one needs time. It will shake out.

As much as there are people who will grind their axe against Disney for everything…no exception here…there are those that will defend them because they don’t know what else to do.

We’re kidding each other if we can’t realize both have to be tempered

I appreciate you trying to get people to establish goal posts before they move them again later, but I think you're wasting your (digital) breath.
