I wasn't too interested in this before the price came out. Once that was revealed, I had NO interest in it. while we can easily afford the price, We just have no interest in it.Nobody said it was value. You are also forgetting meals and park passes are included. Agree its expensive but price is overblown compared to other deluxe room, meals and tickets.
I really don’t think comparing Starcruiser to any resort is a fair assessment of value or same costs. Many have stated that you can pay $1000 a night for Poly or GF…yes, but it is just $1000 a night…your whole family can stay in the room. On Starcruiser it cost me $3400 a night for my wife, godson (5) and I for a total of $6800 for 2 nights. So to say that there is value in that is crazy…think about it..you arrive at say 1:00 everything is done by 10:00 ish on day 1….9 hours onboard. Then the next day you are at Galaxies Edge all day…so maybe you are onboard for another 5 hours after your trip to the park….then the last day you are up at 8 and out by 11 so another 3 hours. So a grand total of 17 hours actually awake and on the Galactic Starcruiser for a total of $400 per hour of entertainment onboard. So when someone tells me there is value…I guess if you consider $400 an hour to be entertained a value. I am not saying any of this in a bad way, I am just saying it is hard to call it a value with a straight face.
It is one of those things that I have not told many people we have booked this trip…why? Because I know what most people will say…
Value no…Fun Hopefully…will I keep the trip? Still not sure to be honest.
Or compare it to a 2-day cruise.Nobody said it was value. You are also forgetting meals and park passes are included. Agree its expensive but price is overblown compared to other deluxe room, meals and tickets.
Exactly. I am not a huge SW fan (more Star Trek) but I wanted to do this as a fan of sci fi. Until I saw the price. Now that I’ve seen the videos I think it could be boring or at least geared towards kids too much for me. The bridge looks like Star Wars imo but still seems off and the interactive elements feel too much like smugglers run. I want a pool too even if it’s only 2 daysI wasn't too interested in this before the price came out.

Hoping there are enough others to make it a success, but I'm worried.
It is overpriced for people who already have an annual pass. The price of park admittance should be deducted for them If their cruise is not during blockout dates.Is the price really obscene? A nice room at poly or gf for 2 nights is easy 2k+. Add in meals including 2 nights of supposedly deluxe dining and entertainment plus park tickets. Yes their is a bit of premium but is it obscene in comparison? The previews could be more impressive but the price criticism is overplayed.
All I can think of, is how many meals at Victoria and Alberts would that buy 10?
Honestly, this makes all the hand-wringing over “They‘re ruining Imagineering by sending it to Florida!” nonsensical. If this is the type of thing they’re developing, a house cleaning is in order.Late the party but.......what was that. No wonder they pulled the video.
I really hope the people that paid for that get something far better than what they have shown. This does not bode well for epcot refurb.

This had been designed and construction started years ago. I don’t believe Imagineers are in charge of the marketing video production, but could be wrong. But, from a concept to execution standpoint, it’s all the people they’ve been there for yearsI think that’s the problem. Didn’t a lot of the imagineers leave? And weren’t a lot of them let go due to downsizing? I thought I had read that when it was happening (?)
Note, there are several reports upthread that confirmed that you can use points for the 3rd/4th person in the room or for a child in the room.If you are DVC you have to use points for 1st person.
