@NickNapoli3 years ago It honestly breaks my heart to see what Disney has done to Star Wars. 224
@

@rasczaksroughnecks40273 years ago Still f**cking unbelievable that they put a blue Kathleen Kennedy as a ship captain. 39
@

@dr.rachellindberg58163 years ago 1 billion spent on a half-assed LARP experience in a Star Wars trash compactor hotel. We're definitely gonna be seeing more cancelations. 169
@

@stevequincy3883 years ago Disney would have to pay me $6,000 to be “immersed” in the crappy sequel trilogy for 48 hours. 11
@

@DCS1013 years ago At this point Disney deserves what ever success they get. If they put together a bad product, they deserve the results. 70
@

@cathconnelly3 years ago Even Iger coming back can't stop this train from derailing. Disney is so creatively and morally bankrupt, at this point, there's really no stopping it. In the past, people put up with the high price tag for Disney because they believed they were getting a quality product for the price. These days, Disney feels more like a bait and switch, charging more, giving less, and people see right through the smoke screen. ... 15
@

@iamBDE3 years ago I’m a Disney cast member and just bought a Universal AP for $400 that comes with free parking, discounts everywhere, and 365 days of guaranteed admission. No reservations required. And let me tell you that universal was WAYYYY more crowded during this holiday week than Disney was ... 6
@

@rotocommish3 years ago Epic fail. Disney needs to learn from this failure. Go back to Walt Disney vision. Disney should be for everyone. Not the elite 57
@

@TheInvisibleCactusYT3 years ago The fact that they may confiscate filming and photography equipment before entering and keep a sum of money if you change your mind about staying shows me that they definitely do not have full faith in this product.
Never have I seen a bigger opportunity to boycott something into the ground. ... 30
@

@conqc203 years ago Disney is trying so hard to force people to love the sequel series and The High Republic. No matter how much it fails they double down on it. Even though making it original trilogy would make them a ton of money. 13
@

@Kertgaferg3 years ago The Starcruiser would be like Universal buying the Harry Potter rights and building "generic wizardry themed shopping lane" instead of a replica of Diagon Alley. 12
@

@iwantalienstotakeme3 years ago This hotel as a concept could have been cool, if it looked and felt like Star Wars and involved characters from the movies besides Rey and Kylo. But even then, it would not be worth the exorbitant pricetag. The flu has put the kibosh on most of the LARPing aspects of Disney's Star Wars experience so what are you paying for here is some expensive backdrops. For $5000-20,000, you can build a little Star Wars themed room in your house with fake space windows, and LARP there to your heart's content without tourists in flip flops ruining the immersion. ... 58
@

@jlasf3 years ago "Available" dates could mean one empty room or 20. No way to know. The system only recognizes a vacancy. 4
@

@leeprice28493 years ago Budget Cut Bob "Chapek"
Was set up for failure by
Buy it High Bob "Iger"
Iger overspent so much for FOX he crippled Disney financially.
Chapek went with his gut instinct and Cut every perk and experience he could. Then raised prices beyond reason. ... 13
@

@WyzGyzEntertainment3 years ago I don’t see them firing Chapek. Iger so badly wants to run for president that his mind is on politics despite his failure at running Disney. He is no savior. Chapek is like the axman in any business design to cut costs and get rid of the excess staff and make the business leaner again. He is equivalent to Gil Emilio at Apple before Steve Jobs‘s return. Disney had too many years of Iger on his spending spree buying all the competition and turning Disney into the monopoly it is today. Disney is making the same mistake a lot of corporations make. They chase after the dollars from rich people in the hopes of rescue and kick the fan bases to the curb, when it was those very fan bases that made the properties as popular as they are today. ... 45
@

@AziaXtremeNFinity3 years ago Other people can hold Chapek responsible for this hotel but let's not forget this was Bob Iger's brainchild
And I don't even like Chapek myself 15
@

@jaybinning28903 years ago I just got back from Disney. You can't help but feel nickel and dimed on EVERYTHING you do. Like, I know Disney has never been a "cheap" experience, but it's pretty nutz now. I remember standing in some of the super long standby lines 7 years ago and thinking to myself, I'd pay $10 to skip this 3 hour wait. Now that is literally a thing you can do, and I hate it. Market capitalism is great when you have all the money. For everyone else, it kinda sucks. ... 12
@

@dawnhowe6673 years ago The more I hear about Disney's nonsense, the more I'm excited about my trip to Universal 😂 13
@

@Dr-Alexander-The-Great3 years ago Rian Johnson will pay for his wife, and her boyfriend, to go 8
@

@jasonschuck20963 years ago Almost 6 weeks of solid room openings--including the two weeks around Easter (second busiest weeks after Christmas)--implies they plan to shut it down and retool, or just go dark and save cast costs, after a couple weeks of comped influencers. ... 5
@

@dagazrune64533 years ago The failure of the Galactic Starcruiser is more about the fact that it is based on Iger's & KK's decisions. This was doomed to fail once Disney chose to make it about the ST and not the PT or the OT. No amount of money would save this ship. ... 14
@

@firstlast17323 years ago Two weeks ago my family and friends got together and we burned all of our Disney products in a bonfire on a Friday night it was a great get together and we all were able to rid our household of the garbage Disney products and the brand that no longer represents our families ... 2
@

@daniellclary3 years ago I wonder how many of those people that are still booked, did not see those commercials. Because I have found often times, people that don't react to something, did not even get the memo in the first place. 1
@

@robertmask22233 years ago At $6000 bucks a pop for two days I see this going the way of the Titanic. At that price you could get an entire week at a econ/mod resort hotel and access to all the major parks. 5
@

@andrewvillers64473 years ago Frankly, I’m surprised April is still booked up. I figured March would be booked so the influencers could shill the joint. 14
@

@sailcvl39763 years ago How amazing would it be if they were only at half capacity on opening day? Oh what a glorious failure that would be! 1
@

@RevKev3 years ago Honestly I was shocked how expensive a day pass costs now. Bought 2 tickets for our visit in January and it costs us over $400 Canadian! 4
@

@reverendandy32793 years ago Today is Dec 24th and I'm checking the bookings site. There's even more in each month, now April has 11 dates available. The word is getting out about how this experience will most likely be subpar and folks are bailing. ... 3
@

@andymcfly52603 years ago The Star Wars franchise was a cash machine. Its amazing that Disney messed it up. 2
@

@greatgibby3 years ago Very interesting... I have a very strong feeling that this will be a failed project by 2023 and will be totally revamped into either a normal Star Wars themed hotel or just some normal one. I can't see this thing going anywhere. PS. Thanks for the tip on Universal! I'm in town now and will let my buddies family know about the ticket deal... Maybe we can go 🤞😁 ... 26
@

@barryjohnson43403 years ago Bob Igger was on CNBC and pretty much said he is not coming back. 2
@

@phaeded0ut3 years ago April Fools' Day just a little early on the full bookings in April 2022?
"Happy, Shiny Disney People..." 2
@

@ViperChief1173 years ago For the six grand I’d be spending on the Galactic Starcruiser Hotel at Disney I could take that cash and spend it on a trip to Europe instead and possibly see some of the filming locations for the OT/PT Star Wars trilogies. Lol ... 10
@

@hisdudeness83283 years ago "Bob needs this to work."
Well then, maybe he shouldn't have rehired the dummy that cost his company half or more of the audience to one of their most profitable franchises. 3
@

@NillanthirZ3 years ago Maybe Chapek should have thought about this before he agreed to let Lucasfilms story group and KKK wreck the I.P 8
@

@RonHutchCraft23 years ago this is disgusting, i hope Disney falls on it's ass! Galactic Star Cruiser is a COLLOSAL FAILURE! and i would not pay those new outlandish prices to get into the parks or to park my car at the TTC. I've had it with you Disney. Chapstick has to GO! Michael Eisner could have done better than Chapstick. 👎👎👎 ... 3
@

@SandraOrtmann19763 years ago This could have been so awesome. Like, Disney could do two of these hotels. One could be themed at the Sequels, and the other one at the OT. And from time to time, they could throw in Prequel characters here and there. Or maybe design the facilities in such a way that it is kind of "neutral". Then offer tours themed at OT, Prequels and Sequels in a rolling system.
Ah, maybe that is a bad idea...certain tours might be hopelessly overbooked. ... 3
@

@hgman39203 years ago I'm surprised to see June/July/August wide open because this is the traditional family travel season when kids are out of school. 1
@

@jimhuffman94343 years ago With Chapek in charge Disney is screwed.
With Iger in charge Disney is screwed. It's a lose-lose for Disney 1
@

@srh6673 years ago the day i heard disney was buying star wars i knew they would screw it up. when i walked out of the theater after the force awakens i vowed i would never give the mouse another penny. i have been boycotting disney parks for almost 10 years and the rest of their shit for 7 yrs due to bad management, cant imagine how much i would have spent there. ... 1
@

@jaesea3233 years ago So Chapek will take the fall for Kennedy. Kathleen started this mess by changing Galaxy's Edge theming to ST rather than OT. I would be signed up for the Star Cruiser if it had Luke, Han, Leia, and Vader in it. I wouldn't pay $100 to be around more of the boring Batuu timeline that Galaxy's Edge is, which gets boring after about 20 mins in it. ... 10
@

@seufererfamily3 years ago Iger won't reverse any of the price increases if he comes back. 2
@

@ncode033 years ago C'mon, those bookings are from friends and families of the team. Even if those are bogus bookings and we can't prove it anyway. It's one of those tactics of hype. Create an illusion of high demand of the product so it will have a greater desirability. They may even offer free/subsidised tickets to influencers and organizations so it looks like people are crowding the venue. It's child's play ... 9
@

@cyberleaderandy13 years ago People are realising how bad this looks, the reality of the amount of money involved, the nearness of Christmas and the economy is hitting people. No wonder the number of cancellations that are flooding in for this trash 🔥. 5
@

@lordtrinen22493 years ago Chapek isn't losing his job over this. Most of this shit that's hitting the fan now was thrown into the wind by Iger. Chapek just happens to be in the CEO seat as it hits. I know that's not necessarily a defense as people will still try to blame him but I just don't see them giving Chapek the boot so soon. That article about Bob Iger coming back was probably leaked by Iger himself or those loyal to him in a last desperate flailing attempt to keep Iger relevant and make him still seem like a man in charge. But he's not. He's out the door very, very soon. And people are already starting to look back and realize that his reign was more detrimental than beneficial. If, by some remote chance, they do ask Chapek to step down, they sure as hell won't be inviting Iger back to fill the seat. They'll find someone else. ... 74
@

@r2l3373 years ago All they have to do is build what we see in the movies. The movies have already done the heavy lifting. I dont even like harry potter but its amazing to see the things from the movies/books. 5
@

@PuppetMaster17913 years ago Disney isn't looking for fair reviews, they want people praising it and making it sound like a bargain with what you get.
@

@AranFever3 years ago Jay, I hope they send you there, I'd love to see your honest take on the park. (New video feed looks great!) 13
@

@NehemiahDC3 years ago Oh nice a Star Wars cruise. Where's Darth Vader? Oh just Kylo Ren. Where's R2D2? Oh just BB8. Where's Boba Fett? Oh just Captain Phasma. Where Luke, Han, and Leia? Oh just Rey Palpatine. Definitely worth $6000. 2
@

@dorkultra3 years ago it's been said a million times, Disney will provide the bare minimum in exchange for your money. The problem is that people are still showing up to pay more for less
@

@redheads6043 years ago Why is everyone chanting for Iger's return? He's not a saint as he's also responsible for this mess. It feels like Chapek is being set up as a scapegoat. 1
@

@charlesjmouse3 years ago It's a pretty typical mistake business make when they are struggling.
Instead of asking the question "How do we make our business more attractive to gain customers?" they say "Let's screw the customers we do have just a bit harder".
The result is no new customers and the current, likely already unhappy, customers say "Enough!" and depart. Good bye Evil Mouse. :-D ... 3
@

@davidcosdesign67853 years ago Back in the day an amusement park was a place you went for a dinner to bond with the family and escape from the pressures of the world. Now you have to mortgage your house to buy passes, tickets and "gold key " passes. ... 1
@

@sailcvl39763 years ago $1,200-$1,500 per year for unlimited visits? Thats actually way less than I expected honestly.
@

@creativebluecollar3 years ago Not a good look for Chapek. The reservation system at Disneyland is a disaster where people panic reserve and the calendar gets booked up in minutes. 1
@

@matthewgrear32603 years ago This is why I’m a universal Orlando pass holder and love it!!!! 1
@

@eddiegaltek3 years ago The problem is nobody known they actual financial situation Disney are in. The decision to fire Chapek will be based on what needs to be done financially.
@

@regaubade83293 years ago If you want to LARP, you don't need kids in there, and you need risks.
Not for everyone.
@

@timberry47093 years ago The lawsuit will probably go nowhere. I'm sure, buried deep in the small print, is a line that goes something like: "Terms and conditions of this offer may be changed at any time without notification." 1
@

@jafdez23 years ago We are living through a pandemic. I am glad to hear they are working to not overcrowd the parks. I see that as the right thing to do for public health. Now the resort thing I think that is a total money grab and a ripoff.
@

@JakeTheViking3 years ago Watched Star Wars theory go over the first look of the hotel and it was bad 23
@

@dan84023 years ago The planning and designation of creative control was done under Iger. This might shield Chapek a little.
Bottom line is from what o have seen it is so not worth the money. Just make it a normal hotel at normal rates. Make it feel and look like the original trilogy and maybe you might get something out of it. ... 9
@

@xthegr8er5373 years ago Well, if Igor actually comes back, it'll be a technique to scapegoat Paycheck for the price gouging, but then not make any efforts to change the prices back.
And Drunk--you know Disney doesn't want 'fair' reviewers for any of their entertainment! ... 4
@

@TheRealVolk3 years ago So why is everyone focusing on Chapek when Susan Arnold is the one with the real power? Chapek is doing what he’s told. 2
@

@arisucheddar30973 years ago This thing honestly sounds like an overpriced Vegas hotel that takes itself way too seriously.
Why would I ever want to go? It looks cheaply made, uncomfortable, and like the sort of thing where I constantly feel terrible for the actors/ singers they hired. For much, much, MUCH less, I've gone to Celebration and seen some actual pieces from the OT, people who love dressing up and playing their roles, merchandise at all price points and from all corners of Star Wars, and some of the actual people involved with the creative process. And no, I wasn't dressed up; it was still really welcoming and I wasn't dragged into participating.
And it looked like Star Wars. ... 1
@

@ploppill343 years ago Disney took the goose that lays golden eggs, killed it, stuffed it and then added animatronics
@

@LH743 years ago Star Wars was betrayed and murdered, and the corpse is being violated over and over.
@

@GLJosh3 years ago Disney did a few sweepstakes for free trips to the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser, but you have to go the last two weeks in February. So expect a TON a media coming out the last two weeks of Feb.
@

@TheGeneral3083 years ago That said a lot of what Disney does is nuts. They have basicly taken all the benifits away from staying at Disney Hotels. Which would be fine if they didn't cost more than ever to stay at which was already a premium cost. ...
@

@polishprince473 years ago Captain Karen Kennedy Is The Bestest Ever!! 2
@

@srb28343 years ago Another thing I haven’t heard about the hotel, the economics don’t really add up to be profitable. W/ only 100 rooms and 15 booking periods a month, even if they were @ 100% capacity for every booking, all 12 months, (&factoring in extra purchases and add one; $2,000/person) …. After operating costs, taxes, and other expenses to run the hotel, that would barely net a $5m profit.
And if the hotel cost upwards of $500m to build, they’re gonna need a way larger return per year on their investment than that. ...
@

@QuiGeorgeJim3 years ago Drunk 3PO - The whole "Disney World" concept is a total disaster! Smh!
@

@jasond15003 years ago April is no longer full. I think you're right though they'll get it booked back up at least for a few months but I think they need to sweeten the pot a bit include 2-3 day hopper pass for after. 7
@

@Banjo_Tails3 years ago Galaxy Edge and the Hotel was under Iger not Chapek. People can't blame Chapek for these. The board is making more decisions moving forward and Chapek is the fall guy. 6
@

@KatriceMetaluna3 years ago If there's zero people in the park, they will make infinite money! It's so simple!!!
@

@minutemansmonitor3 years ago More money for less stuff and more stress? What a deal!
@

@Valiantes_3 years ago Nice setup, Jay. And yeah this hotel thing... I see them doing this probably. Continuing with their opening on schedule and...having TWO options if it fails or succeeds after that; close it and rethink it or just keep going forward. That lawsuit against Disneyland probably won't win. I have the pass but I'm not a big fan of the pass system. That said, going to Disneyland a lot lately they do need to ease up on their price hikes. Disneyland is Walt's park, it should not only cater to those with deep pockets. ... 2
@

@robertroberts50903 years ago What people don't understand is that when Disney makes the news for raising prices stock holders take pleasure in the news, as it shows management has the balls to go full capitalist. Every share holder likes a management with a mean streak. The slowdown in Disney plus subscriptions is genuinely holding back the rise in share prices.
The House of Mouse will get it's cheese. ... 5
@

@Spartan773 years ago Anyone remember that old Monty Python, dead parrot skit? Star Wars is now that dead parrot, being slammed on a counter top to prove that it has ceased to be.
@

@KnightRonin01033 years ago I hope Disney puts up the cringe Galactic Starcruiser hotel video back up. I haven’t laughed so hard since you announced The High Republic.
@

@ratboy36793 years ago As a person who never been to parks...universal sounds way better, Harry Potter, Jurassic park, transformers, non Disney Simpson's and marvel, king Kong, NINTENDO...they just sound way more interesting than disney. 2
@

@morrisvalentneflatlander47843 years ago Who the hell wants to pay 6 grand to walk around the 1982 set of Buck Rogers while wearing a mask and seeing everyone else do the same?
@

@moemonte3 years ago Things just keep going down and down with all this.
@

@heatherrevezzo3 years ago I just looked at the Starcruiser bookings and now there's April dates open as well...
@

@dbudmartin3 years ago The big money investors are behind Chapek, so he isn't going anywhere. The bad decisions on Star Wars and other properties all happened under Iger, who is still chairman of the board until the end of the year. 2
@

@patrickmoreau75923 years ago “I want less for more money “ said no one. 😀
@

@ForceMaximus843 years ago Doesn’t appeal to Star Wars fans, doesn’t appeal to the average family/consumer. Only for the super-rich and die-hard Disney fans.

@Walter-fc3uq3 years ago This is so bad that even my wife knows it is tanking. She doesnt follow up on disney news, lol
@

@Angry_Squirrel5553 years ago Why does it seem like Disney has become a company that only wants to cater to the super-wealthy? Even the licensed merchandise has become insanely overpriced. Walt is turning over in his grave right now and I hope he comes back to haunt Chapek! ...
@

@wt75533 years ago We booked a week long Alaskan cruise with two rooms for less than the cost of two nights at Galactic Starcruiser. There’s no way the experience is worth that cost.
@

@garystrankman38413 years ago Chapek to Iger, frying pan to the fire if you ask me. Hope Universal SMOKES Disney. This outcome is what happens when you spend 76 Billion dollars for Fox pictures and then can't pay for it.
@

@Ahglock3 years ago They aren't focusing on making the experience good for people but instead on making money. End result is people tell them to eff off. All business is there to make money, but in the entertainment field you wont get it in the long run if you don't focus on making people happy. Maybe some short term gains which maybe they need with the pandemic, but its hard to earn back good will. ... 1

@luvzfrance243 years ago This past November was my first time since 2010 going to Disneyland and the reservation thing threw me off like hell! When did they start the reservation policy? Was this before or after covid?
