Beckers 1,136 Posted April 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 BREAKING: Disney Creating Star Wars “Starship” Luxury Resort & Experience Attached to Disney’s Hollywood Studios 18 Apr 2017 Disney is surveying guests about a possible Star Wars resort hotel experience at Walt Disney World, which would take place on an “actual” Star Wars Starship… Concept Art, Star Wars “Starship” resort at Walt Disney World The survey is not being conducted by Disney, but rather by a contracted third party through Swagbucks.com. The survey includes concept art and many details of what the experience would be like… This all-inclusive, 2-night immersive resort experience at Walt Disney World would include: The opportunity to experience a 2-day story set in the the Star Wars universe Be surrounded in a continuous, story-driven entertainment experience as it unfolds over the course of the 2-night stay Have personal interactions with Star Wars characters, live performers throughout the starship (experience the story or simply observe the action according to personal preference) Engage in the story with programs such as flight training, ship exploration, lightsaber training, and personalized secret missions (both on the starship and throughout the Star Wars themed planet) Concept Art, Star Wars “Starship” resort at Walt Disney World While staying aboard an all-inclusive luxury “starship” at Walt Disney World, guests will stay in luxury accommodations offering: All meals during your stay: buffet breakfasts, lunches, & signature evening dining Featured entertainment & dinner shows Exclusive park admission to the Star Wars themed land at the Walt Disney World Resort (a new land opening at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in 2019) Star Wars starship amenities including pool area & water garden, fitness area, on-board cantina, and robotic droid Butlers As of right now, the experience would be priced at roughly $900 to $1000 per guest. Concept Art, Star Wars “Starship” resort at Walt Disney World So basically, in summary, the experience would include… 2 nights in an immersive luxury resort that looks and feels like a starwars space craft (set check-in and check-out dates so everyone is immersed on the same “story” timeline) Room(s) that accommodate(s) up to 4 people, with an interactive “view” (galaxy or pool/atrium) Every meal from checking-in on day 1 to check-out on day 3 (5 meals total, including 2 buffet breakfasts, 1 lunch, and 2 signature dinners with evening entertainment) 1 day of Walt Disney World theme park admission to Disney’s Hollywood Studios to visit Star Wars-themed land on day 2 Story-driven entertainment that unfolds over the course of your stay (including live character chance encounters, and the opportunity to watch or enage in the story through things like personalized secret missions, flight training, starship exploration, and lightsaber training) While this is just a survey at this time, it is worth noting that the presence of concept art and the inclusion of the Star Wars themed land in these plans likely means that this is a pretty serious project at this point. Many of the experiences above also sound very similar to aspects of the the Star Wars land discussed in the panel at Star Wars Celebration Orlando. Stay tuned as more information on this proposed project becomes available. Tom has been regularly visiting the Walt Disney World® Resort from the time he was 4 months old. While he has made countless visits in the last 28 years, he did not become a truly active member in the Disney fan community until the summer of 2007, when he decided to launch the WDW News Today website and podcast. Tom has since become an Orlando-local and is a published author on Walt Disney World. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Kinda cool, but out of my price range Quote Link to post Share on other sites
h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Let's break it down. 2 nights at a WDW deluxe resort. Approx $450/ night. Two character breakfasts-$35 each. One character lunch $50 two signature dinners $100 each. One day pass to HS $100. So if you paid for it out of pocket. You'd spend roughly $ 870.0 per person. So so it's not really a bad deal.

Beckers 1,136 Posted April 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 I wonder how many people would be repeat customers? It sounds awesome just not something I would chose to spend my money on (not that I have any left after the backyard project!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keith_h 420 Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 I'd try it once but I know some folks who are real Star Wars fanatics and wouldn't be surprised if they would do more than one visit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LONE-STAR 370 Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 I would have to see a lot of YouTube videos on it before I did it. But if it looks really cool I might do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Interesting concept. The pricing is not out of line with what they charge for DCL cruises, which are also all-inclusive. This could be a huge money maker. Personally, I would choose the cruise. Any rumors about where this resort would be located? TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lightbikes 73 Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 WOW and DOUBLE WOW - with our family of four adult kids, plus spouses, plus grandchildren (all of whom are over 9) and huge Star Wars fans that's $18,000.00 give or take. I think we'll stick to offering them one week's accomodation on our DVC points every couple of years. I am not even going to mention this to any of them!!!!! On the other hand I just might be able to justify it for hubby on his next "big" birthday!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
