My husband thinks Disney will reduce Star Wars hotel pricing after initial release

[VandVsmama]

My DH made me laugh this morning. We were talking about a trip we're planning for October 2022 and how I'm dying for Disney to announce its pricing on the new Star Wars hotel (since we're all big Star Wars fans).

DH said, "Whatever the pricing is, I think we should skip that on the next trip and wait for when Disney will reduce the price."



Oh sweetie, Disney doesn't ever drop its prices. At best, you'll be able to get a package discount of some kind.

Until Disney announces the Star Wars hotel packages, I'll be sitting here waiting!

WDW does drop a bunch. Employees, shows, parades, EMH etc., but lowering their prices

 

[rwdavis2]

If demand is high then the price will never drop or would they even offer a sale.

WDW's main goal is to make $.

Darn skippy they will only raise the price

That’s their MO too… roll stuff out with a relatively reasonable price. Then after it’s well received and positive reviews dominate search algorithms, raise the price and chip away at it by increasing attendance, lower some of the quality, etc.
Disney always make sure to lead with the right foot.

and that’s my story so I can convince DH to do stuff when it first is offered lol. ‘It’s never gonna be better than this!’

I think only SW nuts, like me, will pay or even enjoy this. You just can't leave and head to MK when it suits you. It's a sequestered event where you can go to HS but no time for anything else. Once people start whining about it being boring for them I will be interested in price changes. Also wondering if people with claustrophobia would even book it.

 

[VandVsmama]

I literally laughed out loud when he said that he wanted to wait until Disney dropped the price. I told him, "You'll be waiting a long time!"

Give your husband a little shake and tell him "Wake up, honey. It's time to go to work."

You made a thread to mock your husband? Interesting approach.

As for the prices, there are cases where launch prices are higher than subsequent prices. It depends how popular it is and how demand flows. I'd be willing to bet you that the launch prices are not the all time lowest price.

Lighten up.

Just look at how much the price for a lightsaber build has gone up. Even the backpacks for the droids went up over the course of the first few months when they proved to be more popular than expected. I also expect things to get cut to make the "cruises" more cost-efficient, whether it's food items or entertainment elements. We'll be booking as soon as we're able to, if the prices are within our budget.

Pretty soon they'll have the CMs tripping guests with the parade rope and grabbing our wallets. haha jk

I thought about this some more and I'm not kidding.

Articles I can find indicate this is going to be a very small hotel (~100 rooms) with 2-3 day package type reservations. Doubt the price will drop anytime soon and likely will sell out far in advance. Expect the price to be very high when it first opens.

First you will have to make a reservation for what time you want to be tripped though.

I look at the SW Hotel as basically another Disney Cruise, ala DCL…

you board your ship, there is food and entertainment on board throughout the cruise, and you stop of at a port, that happens to be in space.

make that a “specialty cruise”, so many of your fellow cruisers who are Star Wars fans will be in various stages of costume…kind of like pirate night on the Disney Cruise Line.

I think so. Sounds cool! They could offer it under the average Disney cruise price/person because the overhead is likely less. I’m hoping at least Then it wouldn’t seem too crazy.

I wonder if they'll offer last minute spots at a discount if the spots don't fill, like an upgrade.

 

[Wandering Oaken]

I am a huge Star Wars nut and even I would not pay that for this place. Besides, I know I would never get my wife to go for this since she hates Star Wars. It was all I could do to get her to agree to ride RotR when we go. LOL

 

[GoingSince1990]

I expect the “mission” concept to disappear or be watered down, once the hardcore SW fans have had their fix and normal people staying at the hotel start asking why they can’t do SDD and ToT on their planet visit day.

 

[jimmymc]

We still have no idea what the price is, right? Just estimates?
