Disney closing Star Wars themed hotel after only being open for a year

World’s Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, a two-day hotel experience, is closing and will make its final voyage this September after being open for only more than a year.
The experience blends elements of the company’s resorts, cruise lines and theme parks into a 48-hour romp in space. First teased during Disney’s D23 Expo in 2019, the Galactic Starcruiser, located near the company’s Orlando, Florida-based Disney World Resort opened in March 2022.
The voyage costs around $1,200 per person per day, with family packages reaching closer to $6,000 for the two-day excursion. That can be a hard number to digest, especially considering a typical Disney vacation for a family of four can cost that much for a week-long trip, depending on hotel and restaurant choices.

“Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is one of our most creative projects ever and has been praised by our guests and recognized for setting a new bar for innovation and immersive entertainment,” the company said in a statement. “This premium, boutique experience gave us the opportunity to try new things on a smaller scale of 100 rooms, and as we prepare for its final voyage, we will take what we’ve learned to create future experiences that can reach more of our guests and fans.”

The pricing was completely insane. No regular families could afford it and there’s not enough rich adult nerds to keep it booked

I wonder why?
Disney has gone all in on marketing to weird adults for its parks.
The costs of bringing a family there are astronomical. The time and cash is better spent on an actual destination, not a theme park at the price point it’s at now.

My good friend is a huge Disney travel agent and she said the parks are getting that way too. Out pricing their normal fans
With all the add Ons and shite. She told me 4 days in the parks for 4 with park hopper and genie plus fast pass would be $2800. That’s just tickets. Not hotel, food, air, souvenirs.

Can’t be right, I’ve been assured on the M/TV board that Disney is kicking arse.

And yet the riff raff still find it's way in.

It would've been successful if they hadn't ruined the franchise going in.

Imagine having so little imagination that your idea of a family vacation is paying ten grand to go be human livestock at Disney for a week.

In Vegas, that is a whole lot of hookers, blow, and a ton of gambling that you might double that 2,800 into 5,600 cash coming home.

Just drop the price! Jeez

Just keep the Star Wars theme, add a pool, and make it one of their high end $600+ per night hotels.

When the concept came out I thought “could be interesting, but not sure how it’d work in reality “
Then I saw the cost and went “nope”
Especially given how poor the rooms are. Just to close it is really dumb IMO.
Put it as a 2 day rider at the same rate as the contemporary for any resort and it would see use. You can’t tell me you need a higher cost to maintain it than the luxury resorts.

TD's search function sucks arse, so I can't find the thread, but I distinctly remember what my position was when this was posted right before it opened:
This concept is in a stupid no-man's land. The quality was far too low to appeal to the super fan, while the price was far too high to be justifiable for those who weren't super fans. Now, as then, I have no idea what they were thinking.

I think Disney lost their minds when they reopened WDW after COVID. They reduced staff, limited park capacity, closed restaurants, did away with Fastpass+, enforced strict mask rules, etc and people were still willing to pay big bucks to visit. Execs supposedly said “oh! They’ll never go for this!” when they dreamed up some new fee or reduced service but people kept coming. The execs were baffled and went too far with things like the Stat Wars hotel.

Not really Stars Wars.
