News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

[SplashJacket]

If I was betting, this would be my bet. It always felt like something that would be sold out for the first few months and then start to taper off, even if it was an amazing experience (and it is apparently quite good). It has a relatively small customer base at the current price point -- people who can both afford it and also care enough about Star Wars to want to spend 2 days in a Star Wars LARP. There are a ton of Star Wars fans, but who knows what percentage of them both want that kind of experience and can actually afford it.

With that said, inflation, gas prices, etc. is certainly part of it too. People who may have been able to stretch their funds just because they desperately wanted the experience are probably unable to do so at the moment.

That’s the main issue. I’m likely the target demographic. Absolutely love Star Wars. I’ve been on 3? 4? Star Wars Cruises on the Fantasy. We could easily afford to go on one, but we just would rather have other experiences for the price.

We will likely go eventually once the prices fall, but for now, we’re going to pass.

Guardians targets a smaller base than Rise, and similarly, the Star Cruiser has a smaller subset even still.

I would have been in the target demographic 15-20 years ago (my interest in Star Wars had waned significantly before the sequels, and they did nothing to rekindle it), but even if I still had the love for the IP that I did back then, it would probably be a pass for me at the price point.

As you said, there are too many other things I could do for that price, like spending a week+ in Paris, London, Rome, Madrid, etc.

I wore my GS shirt to DL this past weekend on our trip and a castmember said "I see you've been aboard the Halcyon, we're hoping it docks here some day" which was pretty cool.

Just got back, my family had an amazing experience. It's really special and Disney out did themselves. The building is a work of art, I can't believe the vitriol that was lobbed at Ann Morrow Johnson. It's gorgeous and special for anywhere, it's totally unique and awesome that it was built. The actors are A+, the game play was non-stop. There were road bumps no doubt. As noted in other reviews, the college staffers are GREEN. But that is nothing compared to the total package. The rest of the staff who are seasoned and working so hard and in character. Gaya was fun, the food was great, and we had too much to do. We loved it!!

Yes but a few people who haven't been will tell you that it's awful. Really glad you enjoyed it and that's the most important factor

Since Disney has gone to the Dark side the company believes it is futile to resist the Galactic Star Cruiser experience.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Only 1 or 2 cruises sold out in the past week.

Instead of the next 3 months being sold out, which once was the norm since March, only the next month and a half is sold-out.

It's not bad. I really did not expect it to be as booked as it is. There are still a lot of folks who want to give it a try:

A lot of the posters that have experienced the Star Cruiser admit they have gone for Free more than once. So, the term sold-out is not correct. After the first 90 days it became very obvious there is no horde / crowd queued up wanting to book voyages at the current price point. It's not a question if people would have fun with the experience or enjoy themselves it is about whether people feel it is worth paying the asking price for it. Some do but most don't.

Of the about 18,000 people that have gone, just how many have gone twice for free?

Start from the official opening and don't count the media vloggers who got invited to the media only days.

If Disney is still handing out free cruises I'd like one for 4 pls and ty. I promise I'll like it as much as I did when I paid.

Complimentary Galactic Star Cruiser experiences will always generate happy voyagers, smiles and positive commentary.

Dear Disney, if you are handing out free cruises I promise I'll like it much more than if I had to pay, and I will write a wonder review and spread it throughout the InterWeb

Of the about 18,000 guests who've gone since the first day of official opening, just how many had complimentary cruises?

Strange they've not answered isn't it?

Not as many as everyone on here thinks

Another week and only two more sold out dates.

At this rate, the second week of September will start to be cruises that aren't regularly sold out.
