what has happened to the " star wars " hotel?

[networkpro]

It has a very loyal following

I prefer superships and the better island over characters…but that’s just me

Coco Cay better ? Ever been there on a day when there are two of the larger ships like Icon class are there ? Its like driving 12 hours in traffic from a busy city to stand in another line wile you're hot in another busy city.

There’s way more to do than castaway or that pathetic cheap new one

Not saying it’s not overcrowded at times…but they made the investment

We’d do that “new one” again in a flash. We wouldn’t call it pathetic or cheap either

So I read the early reviews…not too fantastic

But it’s been a minute…so I’ll revisit

What’s you glowing based on? I give you the benefit of the doubt of not being baked in on DCL

Impressive engineering, lovely location, sand and water. It’s a tropical paradise - just not a Castaway. It’s a very different vibe and look to the original island and that’s an important distinction. Don’t expect Castaway v2. Now if you arrive on a full Wish as opposed to our Magic it may be far busier but we found it so very pleasant. THAT pier walk wasn’t near as bad as expected - but that wouldn’t be the case in inclement weather. Food could be improved, or maybe we missed a real BBQ, but it was still enjoyable and personally we didn’t have any more fly issues than say Epcot. Others mileage may vary but that’s nature and there were several pro active things in place (fans, air curtains, more glass). Even the tram ride wasn’t a disappointment especially factoring in walking on Castaway from ship to end of the family area, or taking the Serenity tram after walking from the ship. Trams were plentiful. We saw six running non stop from the entrance.

In short it far exceeded our low expectations. Could be improved but we wouldn’t alter a booking if we saw the name (unlike the Wish!). We would look forward to returning. Just don’t expect a Castaway v2.

Too bad they couldn't repurpose it as a "Land Docked" Disney Cruise Line Hotel..Giving the chance for families to experience a "Taste" of a Disney Cruise at half the cost (But, then again they would want you to pay more depending on how long you stay).

Who was responsible for this boondoggle waste of money--- ultimately we guests have paid for via ever increasing prices?

The meaning of this post is confusing.

Most people said it was too expensive.

Star Wars is super popular.

If it confused you, you're the issue.

These are not the Bob’s (and Josh) you are looking for…….move along.

My understanding is the Halcyon is being used as offices for WDI during the upcoming Studios work.

Just permanently turn it into an office and clear out the Animation Courtyard ones for expansion.

But do they have daily line dancing?
