I would assume on turnaround day only or otherwise housekeeping would have to be themed too.P.S. Does this hunk of junk even have mousekeeping?
Honestly it makes it more likely. I’ve said forever that the overlay is going ot be little more then repainting the existing animatronics and changing the music. That seems more and more likely.It’s not all bad… The failure of this could prevent my precious splash mountain from getting a terrible, haphazard overlay
Disney can fix that problem by waiving the 90 day cancellation policy for the first 3 months. It's not reasonable to have such a strict cancellation policy for an experience that's sight unseen, in the midst of virus surge, with the promo pulled but not replaced. In fact, they are reducing the booking requirements for the regular Disney cruises right now, so why not the Starcruiser too?The May 4th sailing not being sold out makes this a failure.
Delay maybe, not prevent.It’s not all bad… The failure of this could prevent my precious splash mountain from getting a terrible, haphazard overlay
It's not like criticize. More like warn: you sure this looks good to you? Once it opens and the reviews are out, there won't be any further need for warning. By then, anybody who books obviously think it looks worth 3K/night. There are a lot of expensive stuff in the world, and there's nothing wrong for anybody to buy them.I love Star Wars, have done since the first movie came out, but, there is absolutely no way I'm forking out that kind of money for a two night stay, but, if you have the money and the inclination I'm not going to criticise anyone for doing it.
If you read my post properly you would see I said exactly that, all I said was that it wasn't for me, but, all power to those who choose to. I just looked at the prices for the new Space restaurant and at $79 (+tax and tips) I'm half and half about doing dinner there, but, I may just treat myself once I see the reviews come in.It's not like criticize.

What we the guests want Disney management to learn:The Galactic Star Cruiser experience, sadly, has become / evolved into something that needs to fail in order to shake (shock) some sense into Disney management. The disconnect between Disney management and the realities of customer / guest / fan satisfaction is steadily growing. Not a good state of affairs for an entertainment conglomerate.
I wasn't saying you were criticizing. I just mean in general.If you read my post properly you would see I said exactly that, all I said was that it wasn't for me, but, all power to those who choose to.

I don't. I expected it to be sold out the first month, that's it. And will never be sold out again. I said that a year ago, and then again several months ago. The cancellations now would have happened even if the promo videos hadn't been bad, even if the virus doesn't exist. People can't afford it. They are just jumping on the wagon when it first came out to be "part of the action", and then cancelling when Disney asks them for full payment.This isn't a hotel, though, and it's only 100 rooms.
There is no way Disney would be okay with this being even at 90% occupancy. They designed and planned this to be sold out; that's part of the reason it's the size it is.
I don't think it's a big leap to say that if it's not sold out, then it hasn't sold enough -- especially in the first year or so of operations. Even as someone who's been down on the whole concept (mainly due to the price/value), I expected it to be completely sold out for at least the first 6-12 months.
It won't be 90%. More like 10% at the current price. And I'm being generous.At 90% capacity, Disney's going to have to cope with only a quarter million dollars a day revenue. Devastating.
Not sure how they can have droids running around when there's an over hour wait for a magic shot with the Millennium Falcon snaking through parts of the land and people 50 deep waiting to go into the Dok-ondars. That was my experience there in June 2021, which was way busier than when it first opened on first visit to land shortly after it opened (October 2019).How many times have you been to GE? I don’t think I have ever been to GE on either coast (thought to fair all my experience except 2 are in WDW) when I haven’t seen or interacted with characters. Storm troopers, Rey, chewie, Kilo Ren. Hell even in merchandise shops I have had CM’s not breaking character when selling items or soda grenades. Is it like being in a LARP, no, but those character interactions have occurred every time I was there.
Yes, they tried a little while ago to make you think you had to buy a bag. It won't be longWill you have to pay for your own boxes and bags if you buy something in the gift shop?
Poop cruise!Of course not. It's like Antarctica. You have to take everything with you when you leave. All your garbage and even your bodily waste.
poop bags are probably an upcharge. Just like how they are claiming "shortage" for not giving bags with the expensive sabers now (while still selling them separately in other stores).That's why we haven't seen photos or concept art of bathrooms in the cabins -- there aren't any. Ideally you'd hold it until you're on Batuu and can use a bathroom there, but if not, they will have waste bags available.
We can only make inferences based on the evidence we have. The evidence we have shows increasing availability for previously sold out months, apparent wide open availability for the mid to late summer, and no public effort by Disney to sell people on this experience as presently offered.
