Doesn't surprise me. Disney is working on cutting expenses so that one seemed line up for it.
Who's up for Disney's Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser?
- Thread starter Crewman6
- Start date
I guess I can stop saving for the trip. I Was trying to go next year sometime.
I wonder if they'll take the story and make it in to a video game or another digital experience.
Cue the urban explorers!
Nah, it's not built to be a regular hotel. Small rooms, no real amenities, no actual windows, etc.
It'll be a meeting space to sell timeshares, like the old Space Quest Casino at the (former) Las Vegas Hilton.
Or laser tag. Oh...an escape room!
It already was an escape room. Now Lazer Tag on the other hand......
Well, it's not in Vegas, so.....
It’s a ship isn’t it? They can fly it there
Their umbrella corporations span quite further than the city limits.
Good point!
But considering Vegas shuttered Deep Space Nine and the Enterprise D, I can't imagine they're looking for another space-based adventure.
Unless they can partner with James Cameron for the Pandora thing or something similar.
But, yeah, with companies downsizing their expenditures I don't see it as likely.
I am shocked... SHOCKED I say that this expensive, short experience was not a hit among the general public.
They should have reduced the price or increased the length. The value proposition for the general public (not you, Crewman6, we all understand your superfan status and would have paid anything they asked) needed to make thus a long term business was just not there.

Not sure what the f that's supposed to mean.
Yes, it was uber expensive but I'll push back a bit on the notion that "the average family couldn't afford to go". This was never meant for the average family. In their own words, this was a 'boutique experience'.
What they overestimated is how many people would pay so much money for such little time. Had the stay been more like 3-4 days then that might have been better. Even at half the price it would have been expensive.
I also wonder about the effects of the pandemic. The economy took a hit and people who might have been ordinarily curious to go just couldn't.
Great idea, bad timing, and bad pricing for value.
