But, the niggling question for all things Disney, are there rooms available for the days and nights when the GLetc+ fans are most welcome to the Park?
Or has Disney just found that that particular percentage of the population hasn't been attracted by Disney's wokeness?

Once people saw what it was and what they were paying for with the early previews, they bailed. The die hards wanted legit cool shite so they booked it up as quick as they could. But what they saw was cringy acting, bad food, and nothing that feels like actual Star Wars. So they all canceled.
They don't get SW and thought they would make money on it regardless.

Jersey wearing adults are bad, but not as bad as an adult dressing up like fictional characters from a sci-fi movie…I think I’ve outed the cosplay nerd here.

I don’t know how you can frick up Star Wars but Disney did the impossible. That’s what happens when you put a woke white female in charge of one of, if not the biggest, movie franchises in the world.

Eh. I don’t do either, but there really isn’t much of a difference.

The rooms like a sci-fi version of an interior cabin on a cruise ship.
If you book an interior cabin on a cruise ship, it's because you don't care because you are only in your room to dress and sleep. You are too busy being out and about doing things.
I thought it was the same thing here. The rooms are spartan because you are not going to be in them that often, and if you were on a spaceship, the rooms would be small, so it fits in with the theme.
Disney Cruise Line charges at an extreme premium price for a cruise that's not much more "luxury" than a Royal Caribbean or Norwegian Cruise. But between the theming and the easy of access to characters, they have people lining up to throw money at them.
This Star Wars thing is closer to a cruise experience than a typical Disney Parks experience, with an immersive experience added on. But Disney was absolutely betting on theme and character to command that price.
A cruise ship has small cabins because you're on a boat that is actually traveling the seas.
This is not a cruise ship. It's a building located in an area where Disney practically owns all the land as far as you can see.
Most Disney hotels are designed to house people who only are in their room to dress and sleep, they're at the parks all day. How is this unique in that regard?
Why is it that I can stay in a Mickey Mouse themed room for a couple hundred bucks and get Magic Kingdom park tickets for a couple hundred bucks, but to stay in a Star Wars themed room and do Star Wars activities for 2 days, it's several thousand dollars? It makes no sense and that's why it's cratering.

I think the issue is the lackluster experience at this point. Even super nerd fans have seen the YouTube videos.

It was but oddly autocorrect put in the hyphen as well (I never type those). I suppose you wouldn't want to be paying $5k a night if you weren't healed yet. Can't really enjoy a hotel with staples in your chest or a wound vac sucking the nasty out of you.
I will admit to having a weird disconnect between my brain and my fingers when typing fast with respect to homonyms. I have yet to live down an email I sent to a partner when I used the term rye smile. He wasn't buying it was different from a wry smile and it indicated drunkenness not sacrcasim.

Do you deal with any turbulence or anything like that on the ship? Seems like it would be really difficult to keep the suspension of disbelief going all that long.

The hotel is supposed to replicate a galactic cruise liner called the Halcyon, and lodgings are small and only have windows looking out onto a screen replicating outer space. Reviewers likened them to a “windowless bunker” and a “suburban junior high school built in the mid-1970s.”
That sounds terrible.

No shame in wine-induced homonym fumbling

here's the problem:
To the average person, that doesn't have the luxury to justify the expense. To justify the expense sans luxury, you would have to be a superfan.
To the superfan, this doesn't have the realism/immersion/experience to interest them. In that, they would likely bitch and nitpick the whole time because it looks pretty lame.
So you're kind of in a no man's land with this.
Explained perfectly. A lot of people making a lot of money should have seen this coming.

What Disney did here was go for vanilla and safe, likely hoping that the super fans would come no matter what and it wouldn’t overwhelm the casual fans.
Well, they ended up with neither group being terribly interested.
There should be themed rooms.
Have a Kashyyk/Wookie themed floor.
One that is coruscant.
A Death Star one.
The list goes on.
Instead they went with “cruise ship”.
It’s boring.

It’s the hotel equivalent to Star Wars Episode 8
