Yea, I guess we will see what happens.
I think there is a year or two of first timers who still want to do it?

Indeed, Remember the famous claim "It will only ever sell out the first month before people realise how bad it is". Now it's "Will it still be here in three years"?
Are you counting "hotel staff" and "show staff" as different and distinct groups?
While I would agree their is likely less "hotel staff" than a larger hotel, based on size. Most hotels don't have any "show staff" at all. If you combine them all into one group of "staff required", the number of staff per guest is likely much much larger than a normal hotel. All those "show staff" are getting paid as actors, producers, stage hands, and other show related jobs not as typical hotel staff jobs.
The math on how much occupancy is required to turn a profit probably looks more like a show than a hotel. How many tickets to Hoop Dee Doo Musical Revue do they need to sell to make putting on a single show worthwhile? The "hotel" part of it is almost incidental then.
From the reviews we've seen, do we know how many of the little missions people are doing if the do one every possible minute they can?
I was trying to do some napkin math with meals, lodging, half day park ticket, diner shows, and missions. Compared to say doing all those things individually. If it was something like 20 missions over 21 hours when you're not doing those other things, at $40 a mission per person, the total cost wasn't that far off. Compared to say do a single local escape room activity that costs $30 per person at some random place. Of course, nobody buys local escape room activities in that type of bulk compressed time window.
Yeah, nobody goes out and does every escape room in NYC in one weekend.
And although I haven't watched a lot, I think each mission is more like a Magiquest mission of showing your phone here. Walk way over there, then go to the room to use a rune on your phone to go to some small little puzzle area. Hardly a 60 minute escape room of entertainment.
No, that is not what each mission is like.
If you don't know what's actually happening, you'll continue to say false things like that.
And if you don't know what's actually happening, I don't know how you even have the nerve to comment.

Yeah but that picture is multiple windows seperated by a frame that gives you one combined big view not one window with one tiny view as the poster you qouted was saying. Their point stands.
What makes you think Disney didn't realize that a huge picture window on a space ship -- as in one of 100 -- might not be the most accurate simulation to attempt?
Some engineer out there please calculate how thick a window measuring 65 inches diagonally would have to be to withstand internal pressure near one atmosphere versus the relative vacuum of space.

I'm not sure that really matters in context, though. It's Star Wars -- there's tons of stuff that doesn't make scientific sense. And there's precedence in the movies for massive views out into surrounding space.

While there are lots of examples of windows with frames in Star Wars, “windows“ on ships are made of transparent steel. They can be really big.
Larger openings into space are made using magnetic fields that large objects can pass through. These can be huge (see the RotR hangar scene, for example).

A castle? How many rooms? Don't want to compete w the Cinderella castle. Cool concept.
Every 'cruise' in March was fully booked before it 'set sail.' The rest of the months...

Meh. The newness, the unexplored, the freshness, the surprises are all gone. The exclusivity of being among the first is gone. It is already old news. Now it is already an aging attraction, the question is how well this rapid aging process is treating it?
Dates continue to sell out on a regular basis. Not quickly, but they added three more months because of demand.
We don't know if all those un-sold-out dates are 5% booked or 95% booked. So, clearly not a runaway must-do for the millions, but not going backwards, either.
We'll see how many whales there are in the ocean.

Certainly more than I would have guessed. Very impressed with the bookings.
We need more people with a British accent to participate so that the First Order is better represented.

Pay for me Mr P and I'll happily fly over and spend both days talking in my British accent to each and every person there
