4 hours!? I think I’ll wait for the six-hour Plinkett review of this review.

this is one of those ‘duh’ things that’s so obvious it never occurred to anyone. they could even have charged MORE and let them have the privilege of a more individualized experience. 

Wig storage.

Secret Disney prison facility for cast members who break the rules. I mean they have 100 rooms in this facility with basically one exit and no actual windows. 

*shrug* I know people who went and really loved it. It was admittedly expensive, but it sounded cool. 

The son is presumably also an ice hippo, so probably pretty wide

oh it bet! i’m talking about the freaks who put out self-published guides to the parks and have multiple youtube channels about it.

How wide is your teenage son, exactly?

I’m sure Disney is so glad to have such loyal customers like you defending them, great work! Yes, I’m sure the theme park and Star Wars enthusiast that goes out of her way to do obscure themed experiences was secretly hoping that her experience at the Star Wars LARP hotel would be bad so she could write a scathing hit…

I loved the tidbit in there about how you can almost always spot a paid Disney influencer shill because Disney makes them awkwardly use the exact names for all the attractions and park. It’s not “Star Wars Land” at “Disney World”, it’s “Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge” at “Walt Disney World Resort in Florida”.

I think the dumbest part of the project is that all they had to do was make it a VIP Galaxy’s Edge experience and transition the bulk of gamified and story elements into the park. It’s not like the hotel had a lot of “window” screens that made the illusion they were travelling in deep space all that convincing. They…

I could’ve sworn it showed up in the background of Mandalorian or Ashsoka. Then again, you’ve seen one Purrgil-class star cruise you’ve seen them all.

It obviously cost too damn much — and I’ve heard tell that it was still profitable running at 50% capacity, which (if true) means the prices were literally twice as high as they needed to be — but I’ve always thought it was such a telling flaw that they didn’t offer any sort of accomodations for single guests.

So, to what use did they put this building now that the hotel concept died?  Staff breakroom?  Storage facility? Office space?  

i think a lot about how my first ipod came with a wired remote, a charging stand AND a wall socket charger, a cable, headphones and a cd with the software on it and now my iphone costs 4x as much and only comes with a cable now.

It’s certainly nothing new to have add-ons, but the idea of charging for every little thing and taking features that were advertised as being part of the ticketed experience and removing them to an entirely separate experience/facility to this extreme level is new.

Nicholson: My sister doesn’t like you.

so skip to the comments if you want to

The video is well worth it and held my fascination throughout. The 4+-hour length really makes you feel like you’ve slogged through this overpriced, half-baked “immersive experience” as well.

I balked at the four hour run time but I watched the video throughout the day on Sunday as I cleaned my house, and it really is worth sticking it out til the end.
