Exactly. The GS is a product offered by Disney. It's not going to be for everyone. Whether it's the price point, amenities or blue shrimp.Personally I think people are making this too complicated. If 5-6000 dollars matters to you then you should not be spending it on a two day imaginary experience at a hotel. If it doesn’t matter to you then your kids will love it. It seems pretty straightforward to me.
Wow. I try to overlook things like this but the writing for that article is absolutely terrible. Like ... I can't believe a site like CNet doesn't have an editor (and/or the editor was off this week).
I agree with you on the too immersive. I would definitely pay to stay in the themed hotel have the themed meals and some special meet and greets. I know my 11 year old would love it, but my 14 year old I’m not so sure about.GS looks really cool. I'm not even that shocked by the price point. There are a limited number of people there at a time, and Disney has a lot of characters and cast members dedicated to those guests that they have to pay. You are paying for a much more personalized experience. They can't spread out the costs to thousands of people like they do in the parks.
We probably won't go as we are Disney fans who like the Star Wars rides. If this was an immersive experience built around Disney princesses or classic Disney IP, we'd probably go. lol However, with it being only two days, it makes a great opportunity for an extended weekend trip during the school year (if you can afford it).
I'm wondering if Disney went too immersive with this. I think I wouldn't mind saving up for a super deluxe resort if I could come and go as I please and then sign up for extras (lightsaber trainings, dinner shows, etc.) We want to eat at Space 220 for the space theme. We'd like the space theme rooms as well. But my husband isn't going to want to pretend to be in a Star Wars world 24/7 for 2 days.
This!!!
I respect that this may be a whole experience for some, but I need out. Even if my morning coffee view is on a balcony over looking a parking lot.
I agree, if it’s something you’re considering, spoilers will probably, well, spoil it. I always regret watching so many YouTube ride through videos, spoiled the surprise for me. Did manage to avoid Smugglers Run spoilers before I rode that and it was a much better experience for me.If I'm spending this kind of money, I am personally not watching any on this stuff. I will read thoughts about it, but as far as seeing how it looks inside, etc. I wouldn't
I can't justify spending that amount of money to go into the situation, basically knowing everything that's going to happen, songs sung, how story progresses, how all these experiences look. That's just me though
Obviously people will wanna know what they are getting into before spending that kinda money, but the surprise to me is what I would be paying for.
What is the price for this again?
Your first born child OR a kidney.What is the price for this again?

I agree it’s crazy expensive and that you can get a lot more for your money elsewhere but the thing is that this isn’t just a hotel. It’s way more than thatFor $5,000 or $6,000, I can go on a Caribbean Cruise for two weeks. I definitely ain’t paying that much for two nights in a hotel.
Been trying to get in for a couple days… called at 7am and was t booted out (yet!). No wait time was said though - has anyone booked recently? I have no clue how long I’ll be on hold. Current wait 24 minutes.
Oh man! I’m glad you got through. I’m nervous since it didn’t even quote me a time! My husband called right as I was originally posting and he was booted. I DO actually need to run some errands today - 6 hrs not doable!!! I’m glad you got through though. How exciting!I called Saturday at 3 pm. Wait time was quoted at 90 minutes and turned out to be 6 hours!!! It was after 9 pm and I was half asleep when I finally spoke to someone.
Good luck!
