New Hotel Ideas for WDW

Star Wars Hotel

The other hotel didn’t fail because it was Star Wars. It failed because it was $4,000 per night. Just get rid of the nerdy role playing crap. Make it a normal hotel with some Star Wars theming and they’ll be raking it in.

Yup, pretty much. They severely underestimated the overlap between those who would enjoy a roleplay type experience and those who have enough disposable income to afford it. It was niche.

Honestly, the ideal Star Wars hotel is probably built like Pop Century, with giant Star Wars props scattered about, and stairwells wrapped in storm trooper helments, etc.

I was watching a YouTuber check out the new hotel at Epic Universe and he mentioned almost in passing that he'd probably never have a similar experience with Disney doing a grand opening of a new hotel.

And I thought "why not? Why wouldn't WDW need to build a brand new property at some point in the relatively near future?"

Then I got to thinking what it would be and where you might put it on the property.

My dream idea is a Hollywood Tower Hotel themed exactly like the pre-Tower of Terror story on the ride.

What are your thoughts?

We've been on ToT several dozen times. Every time we get inside the building, I say to my family "come on, Disney. With the amount of money they charge, they can at least clean up the cobwebs from their rides." No one ever laughs. Not even the first time. But I keep saying it. One day, they will get it.
I love the theming of ToT. Top notch work. I'm not sure I would personally want my entire vacation to be in that theme though.
My ideal theming would be more Mary Blair inspired design, to the max.
