$5,000+ Star Wars hotel reviews and impressions (“feels like a 2 day game and escape room”)

I think the idea is really cool as a "lore/roleplaying" thing
But Disney is so obscenely careful at every junction to differentiate "employees" from "regular guests".
And then this is making me laugh my ass off:
Spend $5K to hang out with the incest couple

the only 'reviews' i will believe are when paying guests go. Think i read somewhere disney is being very strict about what reviews can mention etc so i dont think many if any will be anything other than very positive given they have been invited there by disney themselves.
I've watched this video 400 times and haven't been able to spot any point when he could have possibly switched them please help
You'd think they'd at least attempt a dance that felt a bit more... scifi. The stuff like space bingo is inevitable as a lot of the really cool shit people would probably like to actually do from the SW universe isn't really all that feasible in a packed to the gils live experience. So they end up just giving a bunch of shit you'd see at your average resort a SW coating and call it a day. I'm sure there is space shuffleboard or something as well.
It originally sounded cool but everything since its actually been built looks weird or bad.
I honestly don't even think it looks Star Wars-ish and looks more Trek.

You're joking right? You can see the actor activate the fancy lightsaber then bend down on one knee for no reason, spend a second grabbing the second lightsaber just out of sight before rising back up. Its plain as day.
Sounds overpriced, but amazing. Is it weird that people saying it's exhausting only makes it more interesting? Seems like Disney is trying to deliver a real experience for your money.
Hard to justify the price, but this is now on my list of things I want to do. I'll never forgive myself for not going to the "Star Trek Experience" before it was closed.

Awesome for what it is, would be willing to plan a vacation around doing it, but yes, it's very expensive .
.....what the fuck was that? "Slyly" swapped out the sabers? She drops it for no reason and picks up the one already laying on the floor. Holy shit thats amazingly, hilariously awful.
They certainly do. I recall when we took a Disney cruise 4 years ago and it had a Star Wars day. The costumes that some of these families had were insane, they must have had luggage just for that day. My son thought it was cool and was able to wear his robe and lightsaber all day, but I don't think we could do this.
If the price was lowered, a third day was added to go to any of the parks and not just a brief afternoon trip to Galaxy's Edge, and improvements that some reviews pointed out were made, I would be more interested in going.
It just seems like this suffered from poor marketing prior to this.

There's no way I can't roll my eyes any more than currently.
Ughhhhhhhhhh.........
first paying guests are next week, watch out on Touring Plans blog for more.
I can't take any of these reviews at "face value" when all these influencers and vloggers were comped for the entire time.
Getting a 5k experience for free you'll be hard pressed to say anything negative.

Whoa I lost track, didn't know these impression videos were coming so soon.
I will watch them this morning, starting with Ordinary Adventures, as they are my fav (even if they aren't know for being very critical of Disney Parks stuff)

First time I rode Smugglers run it was an absolute disaster.
It was my fiance and I + a family of 4.
We got stuck as engineers. It was a kid who was like 5 as the Pilot and couldn't reach the controls, the Mother vlogged the entire thing as the second pilot. We spent the entire time bouncing around into anything and everything.
When your guest experience relies on other guests doing their part it leads to a huge potential for a bad experience.
It would be worth the cost if it truly delivers and makes you feel like you're truly in that world for two days, particularly given how shit the real world is currently.
...We have tickets for this July. I'm skeptical it will live up to the expectation, but we're going all-in on the experience and going in character and costume lul.

Sounds like min/maxers to me.
They're talking about "best storylines" or whatever instead of just having a "go with the flow" experience that makes these sorts of things fun. Don't think just do. It's not as improv as some expected so there are certain limits, but if I went I'd still treat it that way and make decisions as they come rather than strictly focus on some sort of end-goal I want. Maybe if I went back a second time I'd take on a different persona, but for my first and likely only trip, I'd just be myself.
This sounded cool when I first heard of it, and I would have probably loved it as a Star Wars-obsessed teen, but all of this stuff makes it sound like absolute hell.
You get to go to Galaxy's Edge on one of those days. I imagine you have freedom to go all around Hollywood Studios but restricted by the time you have to get back to your transport.
Yes, probably because this is a clean and polished environment, not the grimy and battered world that ANH introduced.
Give it a few years for visitors to beat the shit out of it. 🤣
Honestly I imagine unless there are constant face lifts that place is gonna be grimey as fuck after a while.
You may aswell charge that price up front since people will pay it. You can always lower price and scale it back later.
Like when every remaster is released for 60 bucks and people compain but it drops to like 10 bucks a couple months later. Get all those 60 dollar suckers up front.

GameFAQs thread idea - 1 two-day trip to Galactic Starcruiser or 100 Elden Rings?
Not even just that though as some of the cleaner Star Wars stuff is fine personally, its that and the shaps and stuff just looks off
Okay, someone didn't even try when coming up with choreography, lol
So it's basically Westworld but Star Wars theme? I mean, this is obviously for the hardcore fans / rich families.
If I was offered this for free, I'd probably go but it might be hard for me to get through the cringe.
Fair play to the people there, who clearly will enjoy it, it's a 'me' problem - but yeah, knowing what some of the people there would be like I'd honestly struggle.
I think I'd personally have a much better time hitting the theme parks and going back to a villa or something.

No it's a building attached to Hollywood Studios and the star wars land there
The cost is insane and I'm curious how it'll do over time. I'd like to experience it but not that bad, especially since it's only a 2 day thing.
I mean it's clearly got some cool elements but mixed with a lot of cringey stuff. But either way there's no point taking these reviews at face value when they are on freebies and want to stay on disneys good side.
The lack of fresh air and light seems a killer to me, on a cruise at least you can go outside whereas it's all fake windows here isn't it

My friend and his family went to this as part of a cast preview/beta test and they loved it. his kids are around 6 and 10 and they actually thought they were in space, haha. I think it would be a cool experience that would depend on how good the performers are, but he said they were all very professional and well trained. I still think its too expensive, but its a very premium experience that I think would be one of those once in a lifetime things, and if I get the opportunity to go, I would.
this seems no less cringe than a cosplay convention or Renaissance fair which era members go to. Disney probably knows there are enough people willing to shell out 5000$ (it's also be they'll sell loan policies that'll get people to go and disney gets interest)
