Did you guys know anyone who went to that cringe 6k for two days star wars hotel at Disney world?

No but I watched the Jenny video and I'm really impressed with how pathetic and poorly executed it was

3k per night

Does it have a heroin faucet?

$3k a night and I guarantee the hotel workers and most of the cast were paid shit. I wonder if they paid the captain, cause that had to be the toughest gig of her life

My aunt works for a Disney subsidiary and got 2 free tix for they're soft launch so she took my mom. It was 3 days and the whole package. Neither of them are particularly into star wars but did love the experience, probably mostly because of the free part.

They did thoroughly enjoy the experience though, they made a BB8 for one of my nieces and both made their own light sabers which she loves to pull out on special occasions, like making the neighborhood kids jealous. It looked fun but definitely not 3k a night fun.

I don't think I know anyone who could actually afford that.

Not people I know, but the A More Civilized Age podcast went since the thing was closing and their show's business had some money saved up already. They did a Patreon episode on it, but you should be able to snag it on Kemono.

Neil Patrick Harris was there with his family when they went, so definitely something for absurdly rich people.

Yes. Knew this Canadian woman from Alberta with a husband who was loaded. They flew out to Disney every year and stayed there on one of their trips.

i used to live and work in the area and knew this guy who was your proto-typical disney adult. i got off social media several years ago, but i do remember seeing his posts when he and his partner would get whatever latest pay-to-get-exclusive-treat thing was.

the last thing i remember seeing from him was like how they got these wrist bands in the mail that let them skip ahead of any line and it was an upgrade for some kind of annual pass type of deal, so they could go every weekend and get food discounts. if you've never been, disney food markup is bananatown. like i bet a burger, fries, and drink at some kind of fast-casual place in the park is like >$35, so even if it's 50% off (i doubt it), you are still getting housed.

anyway, i could imagine him doing this if his professional-work situation had made some big strides, promotion/compensation wise and he/his partner did it in lieu of a big anniversary gift or something. but i could also see him saying, "no that's stupid", because it really does seem uniquely egregious. i mean, for one day of that, you could get two weekend nights in a swank room with a view at like the Four Seasons in lower manhattan and have $600 leftover in spending money.

but i guess, if you're staying in the Four Seasons you're less likely to have some guy pretending to be Ry-boh Klobjar from Planet Reeroo tell you that you're a real Starwars.

One of my relatives works at the fancy bar in galaxies edge and knew it was gonna be a POS before it launched. Not that I had that sort of cash anyway, but he told everyone to stay away.

Not personally but a family friend mentioned a coworker took their spoiled grand kids to it.

In a similar vein, I have a friend who's a die hard star wars fan (him and his family paid to go to the star wars land the hotel was adjacent to when it opened) and even he was mocking it.

I still for the life of me can't understand why they chose to make it a LARP and not just a hotel, like knowing Star Wars nerds you'd expect a normal themed hotel to make bank. Turning it into a LARP that cost thousands and relied on both random families and the most dedicated of nerds to function seems like a baffling decision, no wonder it failed

I once did a weekend long larp and it didn't cost me $6k, but also it had well-written plot lines that incorporated players and everything functioned right so it was something very different.
