What's so shocking to me is that the gameplay was so terrible. It was the primary thing advertised and yet they've implemented similar things in the past when it wasn't even the main selling point. I went on the Disney Cruise 5+ years ago and there was something similar called the Midship Detective Agency. You can look it up but from what I remember, it implemented using your magic bands and solved a mystery that you had to go all around the ship to complete, and it would unlock little interactive cutscenes with the Muppets that were exactly what she was describing at 1:37:00, you could tap on the screen to find clues in scenes. So basically, Disney obviously has the capability to implement these things, if their budget wasn't already the biggest indication, since they've literally done it before for a different experience, in which was barely mentioned since it's only one of the many things you can do for a cheaper price.
It didn't work because it was dumb.....they should have built a normal resort/ hotel and just themed it to starwars....like the Polynesian or animal kingdom lodge
Wow! And here I thought I was the best OG Star Wars fan having stood in line to watch Episode IV 12x at the theater and bought the original sound track on vinyl LP before she was even born. But I'm here for it and given her latest viral vid Masterpiece on the Star Wars Hotel (Galactic Cruiser) debacle,, I crown her Queen of Star Wars fandom everywhere!!! You Rock Jenny!!
Heres the thing.....nobody wants to go on vacation and have to participate in anything...lol.....its a hotel that you cant relax in....whats great about a hotel os after a long day in the park you can come back and decompress....on the star cruiser you cant.....it didnt even have a pool
These themed hotel parks just seem like ways to trap visitors in a huge down payment, forcing them to stay for the sunk cost alone. Can only imagine if even 1 thing goes wrong, the whole show goes off the rails for literally everyone involved.
To preface this comment, I am a travel agent and I specialize in cruises. I'm at 26:00 right now, and the comparison you made to a cruise earlier in the video was incredibly apt. Straight up, they priced this as though it was a cruise. Everything you just described is incredibly standard practice in the cruising industry except for having to know all your passengers names to get a quote (You would need that to book, or get a courtesy hold placed on a room.) The prices not being flat rates, the advertised rate being the lowest possible rate (though in the cruising industry it's shown as the lowest possible per person w/o port fees or taxes added), the per person cost getting lower as you add more people into the same cabin, all of it. Frankly if they had advertised this less like a hotel and much more like a "Space Cruise Experience" or something, that pricing structure would make a lot more sense, and people might've even been more amenable to it. BUT, in effect, this is STILL a hotel! Cruise lines have reasons to price and book rooms by head rather than by room, but a hotel doesn't. I truly cannot fathom why they would have done it like this, especially considering they didn't have to. The cruising industry itself is constantly under fire for how deceptive and complicated the pricing and marketing structures are. The way things are currently advertised is even going to be illegal in California on July 1st. This is just such a ludicrous idea. I wanna know who made THAT decision and just ask them several questions.
Disney was too blinded by the dollar signs with the purchase of STAR WARS that they forgot to make a 'Plan' for Star Wars . What's great about the failure of the star wars is that ultimately the consumer us voted to NOT give Disney our money that's what's great about this story! We need to do this again!
The reuse of “you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us!” After saying if you mind control one first order person you mind control them all might be one of my favorite jokes ever
Not to reinforce the cisheteronormative patriarchy, but if or when Jenny has kids, she is going to be the best mom ever. Her kids will go to the coolest theme parks, have the best Halloween costumes, and their bedtime story hour will be epic.
It’s a little known fact that Walt Disney was actually run over by a train and was then had his remains cybernetically fused to a train on a isolated island known as “Sodor”
"Bad people are only worthy of redemption if they change their ways." Uh... yeah. That's... that's what redemption is. Usually I like your viewpoints, but this one feels like low effort Buzzfeed clickbait.
I feel like the Go-cart Experience could have been much cooler with vintage photos of the early days of automobile racing (1920s), with some themed food and drinks.
A thought on the app: Maybe there was a glitch, and your story was accepting choices from someone else and visa versa. ...So now, imagine some poor child was finding themselves unwillingly on the First Order path.
It took me 2 weeks to set aside 4 hours to watch this and now I wish it was twice as long. This exemplifies and is indicative of not only the world "these days" but pretty much since the dawn of modern man. I can not describe how simultaneously inspired and depressed for the future I am. Ummm thanks for coming to my TED Talk ig.
