Galactic Starcruiser is Dead, Long Live DVC Villas at The Star Wars Hotel?

[sethschroeder]

It would be only the second DVC with direct theme park access!!!!

Except for the requirement to walk around to the front of HS so it wouldn't have a direct access at that point. I can't imagine they run a shuttle to HS and back and staff that gate.

Extra stuff like that would be gutted in any hotel redo.

Have you seen the postage stamp of land where they are putting poly tower ?

You understand Poly Tower is connected to Poly right and is using all of its services? Plus it has an actual view for a Deluxe hotel while "views" from this place is a high res monitor.

Its fairly useless space which is why they put the hotel with zero outside view there.

I may have a minority opinion, but instead of having a pool with all the associated $ for maintenance, lifeguards, etc

You understand their pools are not that costly right? Lifeguards are likely base pay rate where as any themed actor would be 2x/4x as a guess more expensive to pay, plus you would need more, plus non-hotel guests could use it unlike the pool likely.

Several people have tried to argue it's no different than an inside cabin on a cruise ship, but those are the cheapest cabins on the boat for a very good reason, and they still "let" you out on deck as often and as long as you want.

Exactly the point I have made.

So you are telling me you want to spend Disney Deluxe prices on a inside cabin of a cruise ship......

Anyone saying convert it to a hotel is just out of touch. Would you rather stay at VGF/RIV or Start Wars hotel? I can see it as a niche experience but not something you return to annually for 5-8 nights for 50 years.

Also, having the SW characters share duties between Galaxy's Edge and the Halcyon would save the DVC owners some money because their cost can be split between the DVC resort and DHS.

Except that is not how its likely to work. Disney already staffs DHS correctly they are not looking to offload talent because if they wanted to they could just cut the hours no need to share time with somewhere else.

You see the parks share talent with resorts during hurricanes as an example when the parks are closed because during that time they have an excess of talent compared to schedules.

C'mon man, get real. If you believe half the posts around here, direct access to a theme park (however you stretch or distort that definition, including old parking lot trams with some Aurebesh stenciled on the side) is better than having your wife tell you she doesn't like your mother in law either.

If it was direct access with a private entrance into Galaxys Edge I might agree its a big perk. Issue is there wouldnt be that offering under a hotel side likely and it would result in you walking around to the HS entrance like everyone else.

I was being facetious. I don't think it would be enough of a perk to make that place viable, even if they built an actual Peoplemover with cars that looked like Luke's X-34 Landspeeder (yes, I had to look that up) that dropped you off on top of Docking Bay 7.

It's well known DVC resurrects all failed Disney hotels..... It will come back sooner or later. SS was the old Disney institute, AKL never rand at full capacity converted, BLT was the old Garden wing of CR never booked much Them park view is parking lot/theme park view. Riv was built in the worst area of CB and there is of all things a gas station across the street and maze of a highway in another dircetion. BC a lot of rooms overlook a road, Poly booking down convert to DVC, GF same concept.... Disney is a master at hiding what is in plain site.... A Tower with views of HS is coming soon to the DVC portfolio.... A lobby needs no windows and it is fast to put up the Holiday inn looking buildings they have made of recent when the foundation already exists. It will be called Holiday Tower Hotel.
