It seems Disney has only one endgame regarding the Star Cruiser Hotel and that is to blow-up the model. Even though it’s a small property with limited rooms, Disney must have known the business model couldn’t be sustained. There are only so many super fans willing to pay the price for the experience. The answer is to eliminate the experience altogether and offer the hotel as a premium hotel like the Grand Floridian. They might even build a guest room tower (with windows), a pool area and restaurants. The star rooms could be priced as super premium like the over-water bungalows at the Polynesian Resort. But, the two-day immersive experience has to go.
Keep the Star Wars theming since it’s already there.
Refurb it into a deluxe resort.
Add a themed pool along with a table service and quick service restaurants.
Have Star Wars characters stroll about, like they do on Batuu.
Add bus service to other parks.
Change the name of the resort. It sucks!
Maybe it won’t be such a flop if more people can afford it.
I am BEYOND disappointed with what they produced. You would have a BETTER MORE IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE, for a TON less $$ at their VR experience in Disney Springs…..
Who is the market demographic for this Star Wars experience? There are only a small cadre of people rich enough to afford this experience. Of that small group of rich people fewer still love Star Wars enough to pay for this overpriced experience.
Finally the Star Wars experience is not the version that embraces the first two Star Wars blockbusters that set the lore. This is a bespoke ill conceived cash grab that will not be profitable as is. When I have $5,000 to enjoy a vacation last thing I want to do is spend it inside a concrete bunker pretending Star Wars is real. AND I loved the first trilogy. Everyting else Star Wars reeks.

Out of my price range. Rooms are small like a space ship so it is not even a deluxe resort without the experience.

Send it to the junk pile…
