Probably will get a small makeover with Mandolorian and Grogu themes and the people will like it.

I can take out a piece of paper and write down 100 things I would like to do and this would not even be considered.

The pictures I've seen make it look more like the old Buck Rogers show from when I was a kid.

Hope the first 50 involve playing in traffic.

They deserve this and more. Their current CEO probably has a plan to search your assets and bank accounts, and determine how much you can be coming soon

Reviewers likened them to a “windowless bunker” and a “suburban junior high school built in the mid-1970s.”



Just don't bring a blacklight, after a few seasons filled with the weirdos that place is catering to it's going to look like every surface is trying to go to light-speed.

Or maybe a Mt Everest wheel chair descent speed record attempt.

And those who can afford it have better sense than to pay $5,000 for a hotel with no amenities, tiny room, and your view is a screensaver.



You get all your meals, drinks, tickets, "adventures", etc. It's not just a room.

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.



It's a different experience.

Don't get me wrong... it's way overpriced and I would not do it.

But to say it's no different than a 2 day park hopper and a room at All Star Music is not being honest.

Explained perfectly. A lot of people making a lot of money should have seen this coming.


Disney took away something that was free (fastpass), raised ticket prices, and then brought back the thing that was free, as a premium cost add on.

And people are falling over themselves to pay for it.

No matter what Disney has done as far as cut service and raise prices... people go along with it.

Until now. I think they went too far here.

Saw somewhere that a 6ft tall person fits. The opening makes them look smaller than they are.

If there's no availability until "some availability" in June and July, 3-4 months out, then it sounds like it's doing alright. Yeah, there are some early adopters and rich fan boys early. Many people are waiting out reviews of early adopters and the reviews that have come out have been positive, albeit no one thinks it's good value. If it gets a little slow Disney will do what it does across property and offer a few discounted rooms after they've finished milking the early adopters.

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


It’s not $5k a night you dumb son of a bitch. I swear people on here just want to complain about shite but can’t be bothered to get facts straight on a single thing they are bitching about.

Aren’t you the same dumbass who thought Disney has to still pay George Lucas every time they use OT characters despite them purchasing his entire company from him?
