News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

[TP2000]

No, you’re just lying as usual. Deluxe hotels also have availability.

I literally just looked at the Deluxes an hour ago. I couldn't find any.

in any case...

So I hadn't even thought of looking at the All Stars as an option in this price class. As I imagine anyone interested in the Galactic Starcruiser would either.

This is a pretty absurd argument because the Starcruiser isn't simply just another hotel. My family and many others went there as it was the draw - on any other random park visit the park is the draw for us and the hotel merely somewhere to sleep.

When you say something like 'Go try and find a hotel room at Disney World this holiday weekend. They don't exist.' that takes minutes to disprove then dance around trying to make it still true when it's obviously not it doesn't really make your statements worth anything.

I’m a DVC member. I wouldn’t only need another 70% off before I’m interested.

I wrote back to dvc:

“Let me know when it’s 90%…we’ll talk”

I just checked a minute ago and there are currently 23 Disney resorts with rooms available for 11/26-11/28, including the Grand Floridian, Polynesian and Contemporary.

You're looking under one of the "special offers." If that's an accident, I feel sorry for you.

If it's intentional, I feel sorry for you.

You know what would draw tremendous interest in the Starcruiser?
One that featured Darth Vader.

The Galactic Star Cruiser is no more a hotel than a DCL vessel is a hotel. Hotel 'Ish accommodations, sure, but an actual resort NO. The GSC is its own category of sleep-in attraction. Overpriced sleep-in attraction but in its own category.

The presence of Lord Vader would definitely be a bonus to the show, but the issue seems to be the pricing that's the most glaring turn off.

The pricing is absurd in my book.
But I do think that if Disney wanted to reinvigorate interest at this price point, a Vader themed cruise would pack them back in, and it could be done quite easily.
Then, when that interest dropped off, they could cut prices.
(I'd prefer them to do both at the same time.)

I like the "both at the same time".

I wonder what they could get for a cruise featuring things from the original trilogy.

They'd certainly "fill the seats" for quite a while.

Given Disney basically was breaking new ground with this offer... it really shouldn't be a shock that pricing was a bit of a finger in the wind and one that you should expect to have to tinker with.

The real test is how Disney is willing to adjust. Will they openly adjust pricing to find the right balance (and navigate the potential customer pushback) or will they instead monkey with the product too much trying to protect an artificial stake in the ground.

Disney should try to right size the pricing with promos to see what gets the best attach rate... then adjust prices. Offer return-promos to people who paid the prior prices to offset potential pushback form prior customers.

They could do whatever they want, its science fiction!

They could get caught in a wormhole during a cruise - Boom - original trilogy.

Except that's the one thing that's apparently off the table.

My point is they can if they wanted to. They choose not to.

Padme & Anakin and Han & Leia all travelled on the Halcyon--separated by decades. I imagine this was done purposefully to give them flexibility.

Crazy enough to be true.

The Galactic Star Cruiser is no more a hotel than a DCL vessel is a hotel. Hotel 'Ish accommodations, sure, but an actual resort NO. The GSC is its own category of sleep-in attraction. Overpriced sleep-in attraction but in its own category.

That sounds like a long winded way of saying “they really screwed up”

The IP is terrible…it was DOA. But they made two lands and a hotel based on 6 bad movies before they even hit the screens…2 Movies never even got made

Maybe a CM could tell their story and suddenly... there's a flashback!!
