This is the best video of the Galactic Starcruiser that I’ve come across yet. I love how concise this video is. You get the idea of the Galactic Starcruiser, without the video being too long. I love that you left your opinion out of it and let the viewer decide. Great job!
Thank you! That was 100% my intention of our video. I wanted to show off the actual experience and the product.
@@themeparkreview how much per night?
@@LindaClements It varies depending on the stateroom and the people in your party. I would check the website for the most up to date information on pricing.
@@LindaClements Starts at $4800 for two people for two nights. Fan merch and alcoholic beverages are extra.
@@J3scribe cough cough ripoff! Cough cough
This video saved me $5000 dollars. Thank you!
Invest that money into crypto
@@MichaelT0wnley Now? After everything going on with FTX? NOPE!
Then buy a vr headset
Lol 😆
Why, what's wrong with the Star Cruiser?
Everyone holding their phones really takes you out of the immersive feel.
The price takes you out of the immersive feel - especially at times of war and inflation! Totally insane... - That's Disney's tribute to families and people struggling right now? Wow...
Really dystopian
Exactly.. if I was there I would be enjoying the experience instead of focusing on taking a video
welcome to 2023
Amen
That has got to be mentally exhausting for the performers. Not only must they stay in character for two days but they have a complex storyline to follow and must remember everyone they meet and where they fit into the story.
Wow! That's actually super complex! I didn't think of it like that!
True
10:05 imagine someone just tackles the first order guy and everyone joins in on an all out brawl. Now THAT would be a $5000 experience
Bro I’d fucking geek 😂
That would be awesome.
They should plant an actor amongst those crowd to do a scripted version of this.
Preach
It’s like watching an episode of Defunctland in real time.
Thought something very similar. Like wow this is great footage of how it was before it failed or was completely revamped.
Most factual statement ive ever heard
Dude I was thinking the same thing. Something about it feels like it’s doomed to fail.
I'm looking forward to that episode of Defunctland. This place looks awful.
It will be there soon enough
"immersive experience" every single person on their phone recording the actors right on their face, geez what an experience
I was about to comment something about this being a preview event for press and bloggers, but then I realised that you can guarantee everyone would be recording it either way.
@@ScaryWombat Well this was open to Investors and media outlets only. So yeahthey were recording. Now its open you can't take pictures. Disney charges you 90 bucks for photo's.
I was thinking the same thing😭. I feel bad for the actors.
America
Well, if the empire are like cops. Then the cameras are like people who film cop encounters.
I feel for the staff / actors. They're giving it their all, and are doing a great job. They've just clearly not been given very good material...
And they are having to deal with bloggers sticking phone cameras in their face. So rude.
I whent in June and on my trip it looked so much better, everyone was a natural at their roles and the lightsaber fight at the end- when I whent it was amazing they were actually hitting the lightsaber blades hard and it was fast moving, it's so much better now
@@Me-not_you Yeah, that lightsaber "fight" was pretty cringe. And I guess if you are the Rebellion you need to support Mary Sue? I mean Rey...
Bit like the the sequels
@@ooklathemok2941 read that last part as the drinker
Man, it's like it's been designed by someone who heard about star wars from a friend but never actually watched any of the movies.
You heard that from someone else and repeated it. 🤫
Spoken like a man who’s never been
Dumbest comment on here
@@bannedfor30daysonfacebook41 Have you ?
Imagine being there. You paid what 5k for this, to be stuck and unable to escape this cringe fest, it's like being trapped inside and forced to watch the Last Jedi clockwork orange style and unable to escape. This is my idea of hell, all that was missing was a satanic Rian Johnson pitchfork in hand laughing hysterically while you try in vain to escape the horror of experiencing his films.
I didn’t realize it was so… scheduled. I thought it would be more like you could wander around and enjoy things at your own pace.
Same here I wouldn't want a complete itinerary controlled by them. But maybe its just because this was a media event 🤷🏼♂️
New Disney leans towards extreme scheduling.
@@adamdurbin6895 considering they released a timed itinerary a long time ago, I think it's safe to assume that's how they want it to be for everyone.
You'll play space bingo when they tell you to play space bingo!!!
@@ScaryWombat yeah I've since seen the schedule they keep you on. No thanks this is run like a church youth group or retirement home. You don't even get to choose wether your a sith or Jedi. Disney missed the mark so hard with generic spaciness
I’m blown away at how aggressively non-star-wars everything is. It has the most generic, mix-matched sci-fi design language possible and the activities are straight out of a retirement home.
So, eventually, there will be Star Wars themes and characters on this ride? *knocks on camera* Hello? Breathes* yes?? ~ Dr. Ian Malcolm ~ Jurassic Park
Ha ha.
That singing and dance party grandma is having a good time. 😂. I thought also where's the Star Wars its a hodgepodge
it's a generic sci-fi themed cruise ship... that's not even a cruise ship.
China Owned …… Chinees design …… Not Walt’s Disney
Imagine paying 5k USD to listen to a role play on the bridge whilst having a new born crying in the back ground….
@BK Beatty why would anyone come here at all? It looks like more of a chore than fun. And seems to be some generic space theme having nothing to do with Star Wars movies.
Jesus people really pay 5k for this? You can get a nice sunny beach vacation for a few weeks with that money.
Yeah I find that absolutely ridiculous! No way they should allow babies onto something like this that's meant to be an immersive role-playing experience. I honestly think that they should have specific designated voyages for adults only so they can cater some voyages to be family oriented and others for adults with more serious themes.
@@busterthe2 not Star Wars fan
@BlackWolf9988 the beach is trash
I don't think you could pay me $6000 to spent 48 hours with people like this.
Maybe 5,999.99? -panicked Disney
The worst part would be the other guests. Either they would take it too seriously (ultra-nerd style) or not at all (completely ruining the ambience).
@@wheelzwheela Imagine bumping in to a big fat guy in a Hawaiian shirt, short pants and enormous camera dangling on his belly, while sweating profoundly (you smell it) and asking for a cigarette.
Then do what you would want to do
For $5000, 2 people can fly to Iceland and stay for 2 wks. Hotels every night, admission to every museum, restaurants twice daily. Rental car/gas/insurance for the entire time.
Many people maybe all people spend their money stupidly and many many different ways One man's meat is another man's poison there are certainly a lot of entertainment options much cheaper than this but people's been thousand five hundred dollars for a cell phone they can get for 200 or less go figure
"I wanted to go down to the buffet to get some chicken tenders, and this is what we ended up doing instead." LMAO.
I wish they would provide star wars Clothing to everyone. I think that would elevate the visual experience
For 6k.. why not??
It’s wild that Disney can’t be bothered to supply their actors with sabers that are even starter quality to the combat-ready sabers tons of fans have. How are you going to choreograph a fight and not have Flash-on-Clash sabers 😭
😂😂😂
There really pushing this retractable one but they haven’t gotten it quite durable enough
"All I wanted to do was go down to the buffet and get some chicken strips but this is what we ended up doing."
Spoken like a true Star Wars background character.

The light saber part is embarrassing. Not the people using it but the low quality. Same with the shooting game. This is Dave and Busters tier
They sell better lightsabers at Galaxies Edge than this
Dave and busters > this
Looking at the how small the sabers were. I genuinely believe that's an activity for children and their parents. Turth be told I'm sure this place is meant more for Families with kids and not young adult bozos like myself.
That atrocious rock music bit convinced me this wasn't a Star Wars cruise ship but a Star Wars Holiday Special cruise ship. Those who know, know.
The holiday special was better than this
Being subjected to 48 hours of this feels like literal torture.
Lol , i think some would dream of this .
I would need lots of alcohol.
@@eclat4641and those people should be arrested and their hard drives confiscated and investigated. Wanting to participate in something like this is not normal.
I think the actors and actresses did incredibly well. Everything else was underwhelming and generic. Great video, thank you for sharing an unbiased overview of the experience.
Wonder how many hours in the makeup chair everyday
@@cgdimension 1 to 2 hours depending on the character. But since they charge $6,550 for the two day "Experience", it had better be state of the art with no cut corners.
makes you realize how much regular PATRONS bring to the vibe. you can have all the costumes and space themes you want, but if your customers are a big group of basic blogger humans its going to be BORING. star wars always felt dense, with character and lived in world feel. this feels surgically clean, with not threatening customers.
and it’s closing now, lol
Overall, I am not saying that it's horrific, but it's on the scale of a more immersive Medieval Times, far too expensive at half the price, and can't see ultra-wealthy visitors being pleased with this.
I went, sure was sort of underwhelming
idk i think everyone is tripping. as a fan of renfaires and roleplaying, this looks like it would be a rad as fuck experience as long as i was with other fans who got into it as much as i would. a bunch of bloggers seems like the wrong audience, as do families. it’s niche as fuck and i get why it was expensive and why they’re closing it, but yeah. seems like a good thing to waste money on to me.
It’s kinda weird that all the bartenders are just… human. Like I know it might’ve been incredibly difficult to work while in costume, but I’m sure with Disney’s budget and resources they could’ve found ways around that. Frequent shift swaps for instance come to mind. Idk, it’s just weird that it seems they really half- assed this entire thing. Love your content dude, thank you for this!
Unfortunately, aliens cost money for all the cosmetics and costume pieces, plus they'd probably have to pay the person extra to "act" more like an alien.
And anyway, having the people working in the food&drinks section wearing furry costumes, skin paint, or weird headdresses could potentially lead to health problems and subsequent lawsuits.
@@SoftisNelaris Yup. They are bound by strict Health & Safety/Food Safety regulations. The bigger the corporation, the more scrutiny they are under.
They could've implemented a robotic-bar similar to the Tipsy Robot in Las Vegas, giving the mechanical arms the slightly grungy Star Wars aesthetic. and a grumpy IG head that grumbles how his combat programming have been replaced with a mixology book.
Maybe have some droid puppet/animatronic in the background
@@KellogsR-ny7uganimatronics would definitely of helped sell the immersiveness.
what a dystopian nightmare we live in
‘Do not press the button until I’ve given the order!!!’🤣🤣🤣
The actors really did the best they could with this!
I can’t see many people shelling out more than $1k for this. Like a $500/night hotel. Thanks for posting the video so I can take this vacation off my to-do list.
I see one part of the video. Where the star wars Disney employee rush you and say you must come this way. It's like you serious? I can take my time at those prices. Just to childish this entire deal
and it is closing yup not many where willing to shell $1k
I miss when disney used to be affordable for most people. Sadly I will never be able to afford something like this. I was a first generation star wars fan and this would have been a childhood dream come true.
Grow up
@@spikediesel2489 You first.
Your mistake is being a star wars fan in the first place
Dosnt look like you’re missing much to be honest
You are missing nothing. What a ridiculous waste of money on and generic easily forgotten experience.
This is like when there is a horrible accident on the highway, but you keep looking at it, despite the realization that you are only beginning to see the carnage… and then you realize it was semitrailer full of kittens that crashed into a semitrailer full of puppies… and everything is on fire… this is not even close to that…. Absolutely astounding how much this sucks!!!
Tbh your description of kittens crashing into puppies and burning alive wins you the internet.
*Seems stressful and so out of touch. Disney truly doesn't understand Star Wars.*
@BK Beatty And in other news: Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser is permanently CLOSED
Usually it's hard to take my eyes off of a trainwreck. I gotta go, I can't bring myself to watch this whole video.
As a star wars fanboy im embarrased for my community
They should have based it on the empire era. That’s what people most fondly remember.
I appreciate the effort with the video and I realize that Disney does not allow you to put a negative spin on things but this experience looks like an absolute joke for the high price that Disney is charging. This is nothing more than a combination of the queue elements of Galaxy’s edge, cheap dinner theater and 1980’s videos games. A hard pass for me!
There was no "spin" on this video in any way. This is exactly what we experienced and we are showing it to you.
I could not agree more. 1000's of dollars for this is like throwing cash into the sea.
@@themeparkreview 😉
I do see a slight improvement from Galaxys Edge. They actually figured out how to put chairs in the bar area! Blows me away that "olgas cantina" have "Standing tables".
For rich kids to be in awe
Doesn’t look worth the $6000 price tag at all
Yeah, worth more so around maybe $6.
@@L00tzPk that’s generous
I've had more fun at laser tag
Oh and now they charge you 90 dollars a photo.
@@ibapreppie oh hell no
To think. These people could have spent a day at their local park instead. Perhaps going for a walk. Getting fresh air and sunshine.
instead they chose to be extras in a bootleg star wars cosplay event because they were promised a hotel out of it
It looks more like Dave and Busters in space than Star Wars.
At least there’s booze
I didn't know what I was expecting from the lightsaber training but that looked very disappointing
Thanks for uploading this Robb. I think it works better as a 4 hour deluxe dinner theatre experience vs two day hotel thing.
I’m interested in refinement of curated themed experiences like this. Hopefully they keep trying different scales and environments.
Lp
Exactly.
As with everything at Disney, the experience is undermined by being shoulder to shoulder with 20 people who probably didnt shower
Nothing says life experience like a bunch of people cramped in to a elevator recording the walls
This Babylon 5 tour looks awesome. Good Job, Disney!!
That would be a million times better, watch out for the holographic shadows !
Oh Snap! lol
Love especially the intergalactic Space Karen aboard the ship! Talking about a female mid-life crisis! I'm sure there's gonna be plenty of wine moms lining up for this train wreck !
I thought this was supposed to be Space Mutiny
Is it just me or does this seem like a stressful experience tbh. Like I love Rise of the Resistance. But I don’t know if I want to experience Rise of the Resistance for two whole days.
I can feel the anxiety coming off the actors, plus these common areas look tiny and crowded! If you feel anxious you’re gonna have to retreat to your tiny room. A disaster waiting to happen
I thought that too. If I'm going to do this, I'm going by myself.
@@MaxLujan I felt that too
@@MaxLujan that's only because these are some of the events, these people in the video are all bloggers and such so they need to be there for these I'm sure it's less crowded when there isn't an event going on
It really does, it’s almost a space themed version of Big Brother (but at least the Big Brother house has a pool)
you know what would be super cool? if this was set up more like a murder mystery thing with people being given secret roles at the start. Something like "First Order spy" or something.
ooh yes
It would be cool but think how chaotic it would be
Needed to be a much smaller crowd for that to happen well.
it's medieval times except way more expensive and way harder
Anakin: where are you going master?
Obi-wan: for a drink.
I'm glad you had a good time, but this is not for me. The yelling and running around just feels too much like busy work for a child. I had flashbacks of summer camp. Thanks for sharing.
“All I wanted is go to the buffet to get some chicken strips and this is what we ended up doing so…” hahah 😂😂
How much extra is to have Rey visit my cabin for an hour to ensure a happy ending on the Star Cruiser?
Lol 😂🤣
Or maybe Kylo for the LGBT fight
Haha, I am sure she raises your light saber 🤣 since she is pretty good in bed
That might make this cringe fest worth it...
Get a girlfriend and have her dress up like Rey during sexy time, problem solved.
😩👀
This is so ridiculous. It's like playing star trek in the garage with a bunch of 12 year olds. I find this disturbing.
Imagine paying 6k to hear someone screaming 😂😂😂
It’s funny how every first order officer is just a British version of the SS
Glad I could watch this for free, I'd be so pissed if I spent $2300 a night on this.
Geez, this is awful. Disney totally missed the mark on this one.
In reys entrance when you see her ignite her lightsaber you can see her drop that lightsaber to pick up another one
Good call. Had to watch it again to notice. Not a bad slight of hand.
Maybe one is designed to have the turn on effect and the other is for actually hitting his saber. There's a instance where she's holding it like its off but its still on probably not designed to have that retracting/extending effect just an idea 🤷🏼♂️
@@adamdurbin6895 I think the one that has the extending effect is too heavy to swing around, is what I heard.
I appreciate those who are filming this to upload or share with others who can’t afford or don’t want to blow 5k on this, but I have got to say, it looks really creepy seeing everyone aiming their cameras and phones around at the cast and crew. If it were a GoPro, it wouldn’t be as invasive as shoving cameras in people’s reach. I appreciate you, Theme Park Review for standing in place and recording from the perspective of a passenger, rather than acting like a paparazzi.
Maybe this is passable for a floor show at Disney you get with the park entry fee, but for 8000 bucks? No, I'll use that for at least 3 other vacations to real spots where I can go outside.
Imagine not knowing anything about this and your friend of spouse took you to this place you’d never speak to them again
There are a lot of things that they did really well, and a lot of things that are really not great. I can't imagine all of this over the course of two days. I saw a comment before mine saying this would be better as a 4-hour dining experience, and I agree with that. This is not something that warrants a 2-day immersive experience.
Nobody wants 48 hours of Star Wars. I too agree that this would've worked a whole lot better as a dinner theater experience.
Bold of you to assume i want to live in this world and not whatever this video was about
Tell me your super boring without saying your super boring 😴 🙄 😒
If I were to do a 2 day thing like this, I'd go by myself.
@@joeyclemenza7339 this doesn't exactly look like Star Wars, and yes, yes they would
I would feel so sorry for the staff. Like what decisions were made in their lives that led to this station in life. Imagine getting in your '95 Honda Accord and driving home to your apartment in Orlando with your blue face and yellow contact lenses smoking a marlboro light and stuck in traffic and the Disney shuttle bus is next to you and everyone pointing and laughing.
😂😂😂😂😂
I could not imagine doing this for 2 days...2 hours would be stretching it honestly. I am as big a Star Wars fan as the next person but no way 2 days of this. I would feel like a caged rat!!! I am not usually claustrophobic but for some reason I got that feeling instantly.
Me too. The tight corridors, prison like walls, people shouting and pushing you to each next event.
Two things I think they always get wrong with these things is the floor and accoustics. The floor needs to be a raised surface - metal grills or something similar, with some give to it, some sound? Because the theory is you are on a ship, so the floor won't be so solid like concrete. The second is the accoustics as you walk down the corridor - there is too much of an echo. And ok my experience is only from the big screen, and for movie audio reasons the sound quality will be better, but I think they need to bring that into the real life experience because naturally the big screen is what we are comparing it to.
👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
I know they needed to add a conveyor belt in some scenes so I think that’s a factor
that lightsaber fight is better than the ones in the sequels
This seems like alot 😳 😂 I have a headache from a 26 minute video can't imagine 2 days of this.
I'm feeling claustrophobic just by looking at it.
Disney missed an opportunity to link the 220 resturant to the star cruiser. Imagine going to a low orbit restuarnt (where you see the cruiser out the window) then board a transport to the Halcyon instead of walking into a concrete bunker-for 5 grand.
This video saved me thousands of $$$! Thank You!
The fight between Rey and Kylo had better choreography than the sequels and that says a lot.
Yup
What? No it didn’t lmao
Yeah it did
And it’s still worse than many of the kids on TH-cam. Seriously, the kids on TH-cam do much more immersive and believable Star Wars stage fencing. I think part of that is that the actors are using black series sabers, because Disney is too cheap and too conceited to buy stunt sabers from the numerous saber makers. They don’t want to support their competition, and they also don’t want to break their replicas. Also, did anyone else see Rey replace the new retractable saber for the black series one? What else was she doing on the floor in the beginning of that scene? 😂😂😂
Just saved me $2k. Thank you
It’s 4k
@@arielperez3613 For the weekdays... 2 Guests per Cabin $1209 or $4809 total
Thanks for sharing. I've been a SW fan since I was a kid in the 90s. Still not sure if I would be into the whole role playing experience, definitely not for the current price. I think both this and the Galaxy's Edge would have been better if set in the galactic civil war era (Empire vs Rebels). Sequel trilogy is the weakest era, but that's Disney pushing their product
Yeah this was a little bit to much for some fans, like this was little bit cheesy. so yeah, it would have worked better with the original trilogy better. Mainly because the originals just happen to be the most liked among fans, also it allows more freedom as far as storytelling goes. (Not every trilogy has unexplored years in between the movies.) Plus (in my opinion) it would have been so much better to see Darth Vader (my second favorite character) and Luke Skywalker (my fifth favorite character) fight up there instead. Also in my opinion, the Empire is and can be far more intimidating than the First Order. So yeah, the Galactic Civil War Era would have been a MUCH better decision.
I agree! Even the prequel era would have been better than the sequel era.
@@CCQ75 yeah, cause it's the best era
And what a horrible product it is. Hard eye roll. Would never want to experience anything having to do with 7, 8 & 9.
@@clankers8929 For me, 7,8 and 9 just don't exist! I prefer to think that those movies never happened.
How long until this thing goes abandoned or they at least scrap it for something else?
The ultimate vacation for childless dinks with two cats and box wine waiting at home
Lmao, damn, that gave me a good laugh.
Reminds me of a 2 night Ren-Fair experience. Acting is about the same caliber. I won't say horrible, or excellent, just somewhere in between. It is out of this world. Give me a free ticket and I would go for sure :-)
Ren Faire is sloppier, more sex appeal, more fun, more easy going. Starcruiser is sterile and depressing.
At such a high price tag I predict this underwhelming Star Wars immersive 'experience' will crash & burn harder than the superstar destroyer into Death Star 2...
7:28 - “You Heard The Captain…Obviously, your uh standing right there..um alright” Florida Dinner Theatre at its finest! 😂
18:22 I swear that fight scene looks like they're underwater. Why are they both so damn sluggish??
I'd be embarrassed to spend $6000 on this. Let alone any money at all 😂
"I think it's a bit too... much." -George Lucas
He seemed annoyed he had to pull levers rather than get those chicken strips
Imagine trying to perform while all these over grown kids holding their phones in the way 😅… one girl was jumping like she’s 10 😂😂
Disney executives need counselling if they think this is worth $2k+ a night per couple.
It closed sept 30 LOL.
You know what Disney should have done? Redesigned one of their Cruise ships. It would have been perfect. You could have done so much with it and people could have still travelled. The $5,000 price tag would make absolute sense and more than anything given that true 'star cruiser' experience, but with gorgeous views above deck.
Except at sea, people would be jumping overboard trying to escape.
@@richardvinsen2385 Don't be so daft. It's not clever.
Everyone commenting has better ideas than the people that actually designed this whole thing 😭 5k for two days? Are you kidding me? When the lightsabers don’t even clash?
This honestly doesn't look too bad on its own considering its Disney's first attempt at something like this... the real killer is the price. Way too overpriced for something that wont be better refined for at least another year.
are you blind
It's closing down, so this aged poorly.
Disney's first attempt at this.... the company that is basically synonymous with entertainment and theme parks
@@neilbeaton9498 Everyone has always known that Disney is where you send franchises to die.
@@MontChevalier Not sure how this aged poorly, the price basically killed this thing like I stated. A lot more people would have been open to checking this out if it wasn't so prohibitively expensive.
Imagine not letting people even hold their $1000 lightsabers: couldn't be me.
And a call went out across the galaxy… to all community theater members.
Will it be as good as Quark's Bar - Star Trek Experience? (that was the best all frills, affordable experience ever!) 🤔
That was an amazing experience! Argued with a Ferengi, had a Warp Core Breach (or two), gone far too soon.
@@ashador - from what I've seen Team Disney attempt with Star Wars in their Theme Parks? they will never ever raise the bar like Paramount allowed Las Vegas Hilton to do with Star Trek (it wasn't a huge place, but it that promenade had everything - even the liquor cocktails were strong enough! everyone in character Disney Cast Members you look underpaid overwhelmed tired and ready to quit!)
Borg sphere and eject the baby into space.
I loved Quarks bar. We were chatting to a guy as a ferengi and girl as a klingon. He was good but she was amazing.
This is like Disney's warped grooming idea of a budget cosplay convention held at at a SPACE MOTEL 6.
What the actual crap does "grooming" have to do with it?
That’s a couple thousand bones dropped for this video alone, not even counting all the money went in just to get to Disney. Respect ✊
I don’t know, but something about this just screams “Overpriced and under preformed”. At first with the trailers, I’d expect this to be an “each person has their own story” type of thing. This just looks like an elaborate play drawn out over the course of 2 days with the occasional impossible to fail games. Fun, yes. $5,000 worth of fun? I’d rather have a nicer hotel with a bit more room, and a beautiful view. Can’t even have the view thing here, all you get is a TV screen.
They couldn’t even get the cube transport effect done right, just seemed really cheap.
For everyone planning to go here, don’t get your hopes up. Don’t get me wrong, it was the COOLEST experience I’ve ever experienced in my whole entire life. It literally felt like we were in the movie doing side missions, being a part of the main story, helping the resistance or the first order and helping Rae and Chewbacca escape along with so many other things.
But If you are going thinking your gonna cosplay and feel that AMAZING feeling of carrying around your light saber and your awesome cosplay outfit while going on the missions…..then your dead wrong. Absolutely NO LIGHT SABERS ALLOWED, NO MASKS ALLOWED. And if you have these out, expect to be approached in the most aggressive manner. Even when you are calmly just walking around with it turned off. What makes me so mad is that they SELL high quality EXPENSIVE light sabers.(for example you can only buy 2 per person and me and my nephew got 4 custom built light sabers but us totally at around $1,300) but the second you have them out, you are gonna get approached by the staff like you have a real weapon. Half of the staff will say it’s okay as long as you don’t turn it on, some of the staff say it’s okay if the blade is out and a lot of the staff say no light sabers at all. Don’t get me wrong, I can understand they are worried light sabers will be swung by kids and hurt somebody but AT LEAST let us carrying them. They should have a “no swing rule” or a “don’t turn your light saber on but you are more than welcome to walk around with it to feel apart of the story.
It makes me so mad they want to make all this money off of selling them and then as soon as you get them out, you get in trouble. I don’t even collect light sabers, I only bought them for the purpose of being immersed from the story at the hotel just like everybody else who bought one, only to be told you have to put them away the instance you take them out in a calm manner just to walk around with. It’s every kids dream to walk around with a light saber while your at the galactic star cruiser. I’m 26 years old and my Star Wars hobby died when I was 12 but the hotel sparked that love for Star Wars since it was so immersive but to be aggressively approached just for holding it safely while walking around just made me very upset and scammed for $1,300….
Thank you for letting me know about this me and my gf was gonna go and I was gonna go as mando and she as Ashoka but now I’m rethinking everything
Damn, you cant carry the lightsaber around? Not quite related but theres this indoor waterpark themed to a Mountain Lodge in anaheim and they have this whole META thing where you use this wand and go around the place looking for clues and shit. Great for kids. Really thought that was along the lines of what they were going to do here.
To paraphrase Lando, "This Disney Deal gets worse all the TIME!"
@@rickyhyppa7960 Great Wolf Lodge does a similar thing in Wisconsin Dells - the wand activates surprising things as you wander the resort. Disney missed big time not doing something similar, seems a no-brainer but i don't know what Disney was thinking with this expensive yawn fest.
Alot of whining from a adult that spent 1300 on a toy while on a space camp weekend just saying.
@@MrSlagle8706 That "whining" can be used to inform people if they want to truly drop that much money on the Starcruiser or not.
If I was willing to drop enough money for a down payment on a car and I found out I couldn't even carry a lightsaber on my hip? That's a deal breaker right there.
I wish they just had a regular cruise ship or hotel where cosplay was expected from passengers so you could just experience the Star Wars universe as a regular person. Someone mentioned being sad that they couldn’t walk around with the expensive lightsabers they bought and I agree that’s bs for this price. Maybe it could have the OPTION to do storylines, like if you attended specific events (and paid extra for them), you could have experiences like this. It would be so cool to do clone trooper training like at Kamino and then have a VR experience practicing it. Or play that hologram chess looking game at the casino. Or have a lightsaber class series where you do legit lightsaber training every day and it gets progressively more difficult each day, like akin to a crash course of fencing and at the end you “fight” your classmates. There could be a padawan training series for kids!! Which would also give parents a break. Maybe for a couple hours each day they have multiple “excursion pod” options (like an actual cruise) for example to Endor to visit Ewoks and then have an experience fighting storm troopers there, like an interactive Star Tours. It would be even cooler if you could rent special equipment to use during it, like part of the price to do that excursion is that and you’re expected to have tools to do certain things like maybe the actor or virtual protagonist needs a mechanic tool and you are the mechanic so you have the tool like in the power systems part of this vid. They could have an arcade with those battle pod games, the pod racing games, all of the Star Wars games you can think of. If Disney wants to hire me to help design it lmk 😂 anyways I def agree this specific experience shown here should be like a 4 hour dining experience.
Yup, make it like a renn faire, we don't need drama, just people drinking star wars drinks, hanging out in cantinas, etc
Wow everyone filming would totally kill that $6000 experience.....
I honestly saw this coming. They could’ve salvaged this place just by making it a value resort but no, they thought they were going to be able to take advantage of the hard-core Star Wars geek by making it deluxe. There is definitely not enough accommodations to make this a deluxe resort.
This perfectly embodies what Disney has done to the star wars franchise. They've made it washed out and boring.
This is crazy, no way in hell is this worth 5k… no chance, maybe 400 a night but 5k I better have a whole suite to myself on Naboo with a hot tub, steam room and my own butler serving meals paid for with the 5k
This is DISNEYS star wars... this is NOT STAR WARS.
The whole illusion is broken anyways when there are 4 nerds with phones in their hand recording everything 😂
And just like that $6k disappeared, like a fart in the wind…
