News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

Fun fact: if you want to go for a cig break, you take the fake shuttle back to earth for your smoke break.

I thought that’s what the smoking section, I mean environment simulator is for.

Waiting for Bawb to say all the entertainment performers are too expensive and then invite the 501st to volunteer their services- all to increase the profit margins.

That's for if you start feeling claustrophobic and need to see the "outside."

 

[Magicart87]

Has anyone confirmed that there will be a low frequency hum throughout the ship to help make it feel Ike you’re on a ship?

Yes there is

Hope it's not the "brown note" frequency.

 

[Figments Friend]

I've heard some things in various places that there's a lot of "mess" in the background for this project, lots of budget cuts, training issues, etc.

I need to buy some fresh popcorn

You have two weeks to stock up on snacks.
I've already started shopping, and have plenty or popcorn and beverages.

We are gonna need em'.....this is going to be quite a epic time.
Hold onto your blasters...it's coming!

( have some popcorn on me!)

I remember one Jedi Master wannabes review of it -

'Slimy mud hole'

His review upset the locals.

...They just put plain drywall in the elevator lobby. I just don’t understand what went wrong with this project.

His name is Bob Chapek. He's not just cheap, he is truly clueless on theme park operations and basic showmanship.

If they built a pool half the users in this thread would be ripping Disney to shreds for ruining the immersion element. C'mon guys.

Could have been sold as the ship's accommodation for Gungon visitors from Naboo -- with appropriate poolside theming of course.

 

[Morkey Moose]

Hope it's not the "brown note" frequency.

Per the news upstream, it's closer to a blue ♯ or green ♭.

 

[THE 1HAPPY HAUNT]

Man, the more I think about this, the more of a disaster I see. I asked myself what makes a cruise so much fun—It’s the pool, and the bar, and the relaxation, and the food. It was a total miss not to have a pool on this thing.

So...this is what it's like when Doves cry.

 

[THE 1HAPPY HAUNT]

Including some of the posters who are ripping Disney for not having a pool

WRONG!

 

[CaptinEO]

Yes, this is an imagineer talking but notice how much screen time she gets? It's her voice through the whole thing but with appropriate music under it and Every. Single. Shot. after she's introduced is some element of the land/attraction that she's in the middle of describing.

This is how they used to do all of this stuff when someone like Joe (or Tony or a very small number of others) was not the lead of the project.

Why they couldn't do that with quick short cuts of tracking and panning shots of the dining area, check in area, the more expensive rooms, etc., I don't get.

Even if none of it is that special, appropriate lighting can hide all that and if they're really concerned that letting people get real action glimpses of the physical location is giving too much away, it tells you how much faith they have in the experience they plan to create there.

I don't think that last thing is really the case but I can't think of any good reason for why they're being so dodgy about it all unless this close to "launch" they're still having trouble figuring out exactly what it is.

You did a great job of describing how well these videos are and used to be done.

It really is a great advertisement and thos is what I uses to remember.

Disney now feels like being a little kid and having your mom's friends talk down to you because they think it's all you understand.

So...this is what it's like when Doves cry.

I’m going to be honest with you, I don’t know what that means. I tried looking it up. Is it a prince reference?

Maybe he's just like my mother; she never satisfied.

It is.

 

[flynnibus]

Again, that's not what my point was.

Then your beef is how your point was cited... because Moonraker claimed the project to be cheap because "an easy write off down the line compared to a fully constructed resort." as if the choice of a smaller scale experience was done out of cheapness vs other reasons. And it's done cheap to avoid being a stain on the company if it fails.

Or.. it like the other concepts done before were intentionally aimed at making small exclusive experiences.... which you don't do at industrial scale.

 

[ThemeParkJunkee]

So...this is what it's like when Doves cry.

A holographic Prince concert at a Twin Cities theater might actually beat this thing out for 1-2% of the price.

I'll just let my own words speak for me, not the words of others. I think I've been pretty clear on my opinion on this unfolding mess. But the fact it's a small hotel in a warehouse with only 100 rooms is not one of my criticisms.

 

[TP2000]

Happy Tuesday! This "immersive adventure" now opens in one week.

And we still have nothing but off-brand cringe and quick-cut B Roll as the only insight into what they are offering here.
That's very weird.

Or Naboo related...Plenty of pretty water there.
