News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

[THE 1HAPPY HAUNT]

It's show time! Bring on the reviews!

 

[THE 1HAPPY HAUNT]

The Skyway at Disney?

That was not an e ticket major attraction.

 

[GimpYancIent]

I notice a consistent reference in all the reviews posted that Disney picked up the tab for the experience. I have to admit that for a cost to the invited guest of zero $0,000.00, as in pretty much free, hell yeah, it's a cool experience and well worth the price. The reviews of the guests / travelers that drop 6 large are going to be the interesting ones.

 

[ctrlaltdel]

It looks good, but no way is it worth that price point. And yes, totally ridiculous it is not fully inclusive for that insane price.

 

[THE 1HAPPY HAUNT]

The people there seemed pleased.

Just like the crowd cheered and applauded the performance of the space diva.

And I am sure being there for free and being drunk had no weight on there pleasure. None whatsoever

I like my reviews to have full disclosure.

Have you ever been to a 5 star all inclusive resort? People aren't "wedding night drunk" but for 6 grand for 2 days, it'd nice to not have to pull out the credit card if you want a cocktail with your dinner.

Yes, these exist and I have been. But we're talking about a cruise, and a Disney cruise at that.

 

[dreday3]

So far, the reviews aren't the dumpster fire I was expecting. Seems the consensus is it's fun, but not worth the price, which is really an individual decision. I'm thinking with a lower price point, this can be a big success for Disney.

I found this one interesting...too much story?

The more you lean in and complete digital odd jobs for these characters, the more action you’ll become privy to. When the story works, it’s magic, but when it doesn’t, it’s exhausting. I felt permanently pressed to do more, and the intertwining plotlines are overwritten, particularly for guests who adore but don’t bleed Star Wars — or even those who may want to vacation while on vacation.

I mean, it looks cool. I would have loved to experience it.
But the price point still seems too high. As cool as it is, I can't see anyone outside of super fans willing to spend 5k on a 45 hours experience vs a week long vacation elsewhere.
I think discounts are inevitable, and maybe then more people will get the opportunity to try it out.

 

[dothebrdwalk]

Yes, these exist and I have been. But we're talking about a cruise, and a Disney cruise at that.

But this isn't a cruise. It's a hotel. This isn't ran by DCL. That is a nonsense excuse.

 

[djkidkaz]

I saw a video of them doing the “electric slide”. Enough said.

 

[mergatroid]

That was not an e ticket major attraction.

No but it allowed you to see the warehouse show buildings of several.

Disney's $6,000 Star Wars Hotel Is Incredibly Immersive—But It Still Costs $6,000

io9 goes inside Disney's Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Hotel at Disney World, a $6,000, two-night immersive experience that tries to bring you into the heart of Lucasfilm's galaxy far, far away... for a very, very high price.

gizmodo.com

"This is definitely among the quickest way to spend a lot of money while at Disney World, but when weighed against a $900 a night room at the Grand Floridian plus the cost of park tickets, it’s arguably a better value for the experience you receive in return. You know, relatively. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that left me with some truly magical memories, but I also didn’t have to foot the bill for it. If you’re going to visit Galactic Starcruiser, my best piece of advice is to have Disney pay for everything."

Disney's Galactic Starcruiser Isn't a Star Wars Hotel. It's Like Living Inside a Video Game

I stayed inside the pricey two-day experience, and it's more involved than I could imagine.

I mean, reading all these...kind of sounds like a success? But are these ones we aren't to believe?

Again, if they lower the price point a bit - this might be a big win for Disney.

 

[drew81]

This is like being promised Elvis, Michael Jackson, The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac and U2 all together in concert and instead getting Nickelback, William Hung, Federline, Milli Vanilli and Jessica Simpson.

 

[LSLS]

So am I wrong that pretty much every review has been "its fun, it's got cool stuff, but is probably not worth it for the price they are charging."?

I’m not sure Disney was hoping for multiple reviews that say it was fun, but probably not worth the current price point.

 

[celluloid]

It is like Forbidden Frontier or Ghost Town Alive at the Cedar Fair parks while being allowed to stay and sleep in part of an Aircraft Carrier's militant quarters.

Fine as separate things, never 2 grand a night for most people in the target audience.

Just watched the Disney Food Blog video of this on youtube.
A very well done, and very fair video.
I've got to say, it pushed me back to the "this is a very well done thing" side of this discussion.
