Galaxys Edge feels like a giant shopping mall that just happens to have 2 rides
let's be honest.
it is
I've never been to galaxy's edge, but I know You're right. b/c it's disney and they can never have enough money
I agree it’s a cash grab for shopping, but at least they went all out with detailing and world building. That’s something to appreciate.
Isn't that most of Disney world
As someone who’s been there….yes
Idk man, Disney World just seems to be more and more stressful and anxiety inducing than what I remember it being. It was better back when they reopened as far as crowds went for sure but that'll likely never happen again in our life times (unless we get covid-19v2) but I REALLY don't understand if they're keeping the reservation system and they have the numbers and know what different capacities feel like, why they wouldn't lower the max capacity for the parks to that "optimal" limit and then at 2pm when park hopping becomes available, increase the limit to its current capacity. I feel like things would smooth over much more that way but idk for sure, that's just my take. But you're right, Disney is alienating its pass holders and Florida residents, along with the middle and lower classes for families that make 150k+ per year that can afford to buy and experience everything Disney. Heck, when my wife and I just went last weekend we were seeing families with these tour guides all around Disney that apparently cost 400-800 dollars PER HOUR and, not only that, have a 7 HOUR MINIMUM for purchase. Absolutely blows my mind who would want to spend that kind of money just to walk around the parks like normal people with cast members. At this point, it's probably cheaper just to tour the world for real than go to Epcot which is a depressing thought :(
"Don't worry, we're here to rescue you." Wow, don't sound so happy or thrilled!
Can't you just hear the joy in her voice from having to say the same line everyday for hours?
Imagine flying from the UK paying a fortune for flights, hotel and tickets going for your one day to Hollywood Studios and not being able to ride on most of the attractions as they are either closed or the wait times are so long that you spend your day queueing. And to top off your amazing day, and just to rub it in, you get to stand and watch as the rich people walk straight on. Just think about those people who only have one or two days in the park in their one week holiday.
I feel like the galactic star cruiser is more of a one time thing. If it’s potentially good then they may have some recurring customers. But even then most people won’t be able to afford it in the first place.
It will be interesting if they change it over the years to bring people back
We just came back from it. We went in and said we can only afford this once. We just left and are obsessed and will be saving up to go again ASAP.
We also thought “This will be fun but probably a one and done”. Now my friends and I are trying to plan another trip hopefully for next year.
The cast on the galactic star cruiser that I have seen seemed to do a great job. Granted, that quality could go down. I also like the "replay-ability" that it has in that you can do different story lines from the people around you. The food and drinks looked interesting. The rooms did look small and kinda meh, however you're only staying 2 nights and I think with the idea that most of the activity is happening outside your room, they probably put less effort into them for that reason.
You don't even get a break, it's just two days of forced events. It's not even a vacation
I love the interactions the cast gives on Rise. One of the cast members called out my husband and said, “does he always dress like that? How embarrassing.” I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time, totally made our day. Best ride ever!
LMFAO They are also so savage with roasts while you wait
@@KevinHeimbach customer service dream job 😆
I loved how they talked to my husband and son. It was great!
disney is such a crappy company, it's not worthy of a capital letter. Eschew disney like a bad case of yeast.
Sounds rather rude.
We’ve stayed at an immersive hotel in Germany that’s linked to Phantasialand theme park (similar thing to the Star Wars hotel) and it’s absolutely amazing. The Starcruiser however doesn’t give unlimited access to the attached theme park.
That sounds amazing I'm looking into it right now:)
@@KevinHeimbach You’d love it, here’s our vlog” of it ✌🏼
ruclips.net/video/m14XYLiNGzQ/видео.html
@@DisneyMarkUK thanks for this, absolutely wonderful 👍🏻
@@fucksampleclearance2106 Thank you so much for your kind words
And the price is affordable. You pay 400 Euros for 2 persons for 1 night, including 2 days park-entry, dinner and breakfast and fast passes for the F.L.Y. rollercoaster.
4k for the starcruiser hotel is just ridiculous.
I love Disney's "budget cuts'' like they're hurting so badly for money that they can't create the detailed attractions that they promised lol
disney is such a crappy company, it's not worthy of a capital letter. Eschew disney like a bad case of yeast.
disney is the worst: Sellouts
I read that they make $20 million per day from their parks
It’s cause they went into massive debt to buy FOX with money they didn’t have… wrecked their financials for decades. They’ve actually been taking out multi-billion dollar loans the last few years.
Now we pay the price…
@@howardlittell more than that.
Really appreciate your honesty! Hope that will never change. Especially the humor you add to your opinions. Most entertaining! You are definitely the best blogger now. Also like how you maintain your integrity.
disney is such a crappy company, it's not worthy of a capital letter. Eschew disney like a bad case of yeast.
Yhea so your telling me I’m going to spend $6,000 to be lock up in a bunker with no windows to sit there to pretend I’m in space . Yhea No thank you.
I hope people realise that you're not hating, you're just caring and wanting people to have a good experience from what I see
It’s called honesty! Something that’s very rare from Disney reviews!
6:58 I know these aren't Hollywood actors, but my god it's just so phoned in.
Peter, Kitra, and you are the few I trust with a review of the starcruiser. I know Disney must have snubbed you with that first go around.
Those two are mindless consumers that don't even like real star wars.
Peter and Kitra said they paid for their own star cruiser trip but looked like they were at the media preview. Are they going twice?
I thought that they were paying their own way, not taking the free ride.
They paid for their trip for March 1, but I'm guessing they were invited to the media preview last minute, so they are going twice. I was HOPING that doesn't skew their honest review. Don't think it will, but from all the talk of Disney's rules on what you can say after they pay your way, it's kinda scary. I love Peter & Kitra!!!
@@Katiegoodrow I know quite a few people who are going and it’s too late to get a full refund at this point. Two of said couples were invited for the media event and just yesterday, so they were some of the few who paid and still got a free ride. I think Disney is doing all they can to try to make as much money as possible.
I remember watching the Friday Night Tights livestream where they absolutely ROASTED the living hell out the first trailer, and in response, Disney pulled the trailer after the first 10mins. of the livestream!!🤣🤣🤣 Priceless!! #FandomMenace #screwdisney
Dude, just found you. I appreciate your honesty. As much as I love my regulars I think they have some confirmation bias. I can imagine if I were getting free admission and perks I may also be loose with my praise rather than give the uncomfortable truth. Thanks again man, subscribed!
So the bushes on wheels is a permanent edition to a Star Wars land? At this point, sure. Why not? 🤷🏻♀️
Another creative Disney triumph.
I just got off the Starcruiser two days ago and all I can say is wow! I paid 6,000 dollar base fee and probably spent 3k on souvenirs and Disney schlock. I think it’s money well spent considering I did 2 days or larping and watch the Ooze man from Power Rangers sing. My favorite part was watching Kathleen Kennedy take a lightsaber and stab Mark Hamill in the back. Felt weird and out of place but I’m a mindless droid now because if Disney made it - it must be right. As for the food - the orange chicken and fried chicken was amazing. I had to pay 10 dollars for a side of fries and 3 dollars to get them salted but boy were they munchy. Nom nom! The drinks were incredible too. Since no women with a brain were on the ship, I was unable to awkwardly flirt with any of them and buy them a drink against their will. However, my 25 dollar half pint wine cooler was amazing and was cool because it was purple. Ooo space drink cause purple! Anyways, it was amazing riding the Star Trek ship and spending half my salary on this trip. Looking forward to next year!!
At 14:05 I am over your right shoulder talking to the cast member in the red shirt and boba fett hat. I was waiting to get my legacy lightsabers for maul wish I had seen you before I went in. I love your channel and what you do keep up the work.
Disney probably would have been better off have periodic Star Wars-themed cruises on ACTUAL cruise ships.
You are so right about Disney becoming elitist and only people with money can afford it.
Omg Kevin THANK YOU for being so honest enough to point out what we are all thinking and feeling!!!
I watched all of Ordinary Adventures videos & it does seem neat, but not worth it for me. I'm not a fan of the sequels. Now, if the experience was based off of the original trilogy or heck, even the prequels lol, I'd be dying to go! 🤷🏼♀️
I grew up in a poor family and we never got to go to Disneyland. I didn't care then and I don't care now. I just like to hear how bad things are getting there.
I really like this channel. You can really like (maybe even love) Disney and still be critic about it. Dont we all do it to our family members?
sad thing is that Disney is sensitive when you try and tease them
15.00 for fast lane? dont think so, the trick go on 1 minute before the park closes, you'll be there less than 30 minutes
Yeah it's sometimes a walk on during the end of the night
Oh honey, please, you didn’t have to tell me about the expensiveness. I surmised that myself. I went in 1994 and 1996. There is no way I’m going to pay their prices today.
At first the star Wars hotel was $6000 and sold out. Then Boom! People have been cancelling all over the place. Too expensive for nothing!!
Doubt they were “actual” people booking them in the first place? Disney has a history of fudging the numbers ever since Captain Marvel, in which they bought millions of tickets to boost BO numbers.
Those Holocrons went fast. I was down there last week and they were out. Also, it seems they’ve been out of the nicer lightsaber sheaths for a while, as a cast member asked me if they were finally back in stock when they saw mine, which I had gotten during a visit a few years ago
You gotta be out of your mind to drop $4k for a mall experience.
Disney just announced they are closing this after Sept. This is what happens when you put greed before everything else
Remember when galaxy’s edge was empty in 2019
Those were the days:)
My own thoughts....
1. The problem with this is that it's going to be a "one and done" thing for most families. When they do it once, they aren't going to want to do it again. At least not for those prices. This is going to really hurt Disney, because...
2. The penalizing for a single berth is probably to drive away those particular incel-ish SW fans who have the highest potential of turning off the family-vacation big fish with their antics and very presence. However, that is a big revenue demographic for Star Wars, like it or not. And honestly, these are the kinds who are likely to do the Starcruiser multiple times.
3. People have been boggled by the multi-thousand price tag for two nights -- for most of us, that's outrageous. But there really are plenty of die hard Disney families who go to the park 2-3 times a year and drop 10k easy each time. They're more common than one might think.
4. While Chapek is at the helm, get used to this trend of "pay more and get less." As long as people pay, he'll keep jacking up the prices while dropping the quality. That's his idea of dealing with the over-crowding at the parks: just squeeze out the lower-middle-class families (who probably dont drop much $$ at the parks anyway)
5. People who have never participated in a LARP before will be far more impressed by this than anyone who HAS been in a LARP. Because most of the appeal to the former is that they are participating in a roleplaying game for the first time in their lives. LARP vets will see how cheesy and superficial this really is.
Holly smokes! 10K for 2-3 days? Those people have way more money than most people ever will.
"Lightning Lane?" Isn't that code for "why bother if you don't have this perk?" For $4k the Galactic Shoebox doesn't look very good.
seeing those wait times as a european.. what the fuck
I have a feeling we will be seeing the galactic star cruiser on an episode of defunctland soon
“Tell me where the resistance base is!”.
MAR A LAGO!
The horrible acting on Rise of the Resistance makes me laugh.
The Starcruiser looks depressing. I hope it ends up looking better
Liked and subscribed because of all the rawness and honesty!!
I’m taking my family to Disney in 2023…
I went years ago before kids and couldn’t wait to share that experience with my own one day. But now… ugh. It’s depressing what WDW is doing $$$
even worse a 3 hour wait for Rise....and the major scenes aren't working....but hey as long of good ol' Bobby boy got his bonus all is well right?
$15 a person troll toll LOL
Galactic Star Cruiser looks depressing.
its gonna be a massive flop.... what I've seen is so cringe. I love star wars more than anything... Its been insanely mishandled by Disney. They've ruined star wars for me. Mandelorian is all I have hope for...
The crowds alone is enough to keep me out. I hate crowds. You would have to pay me to deal with crowds. So you never see me at Disney.
What most of these reviews don't tell you are that they had discounted prices to review this. But the reality is its too expensive and it's basically a 2 day "simulation" just like the ride that's already there. Just wait. The price WILL drop.
I love Peter and Kitra, and I watch and enjoy all their videos, but in terms of trusting someone to deliver a critical review around Disney producing an authentic Star Wars experience, I’ll appreciate and take in their input, but I’ll also be checking out the reviews of Dan-O from The Dan-O Channel and Spencer from Best Life & Beyond. Also worth having on the radar Thanks for the park update! 🐾
Haha, funny enough since Peter & Kitra have been away, I've been digging for 'anything' POSITIVE on Starcruiser and I found Dan-O. I love to see his genuine excitement! You can't make up those genuine expressions. Love it! Dan-O is awesome. I only subscribe to 4 channels- 2 Italian cuisine, Ordinary Adventures & Dan-O. 😻
May be adding Kevin to my line-up. 😻
Check out Best Life & Beyond, too! High energy and refreshing honesty.
I love Peter and Kitra too!, thanks for mentioning the other reviewers cause I want more options.
$600/night? When Dad, my brother and I went to Disney World, a hotel room cost $42 a night, and being a kid, I thought that was a lot. Either I've gotten older than I thought, or hotel room costs have skyrocketed. (I'll also say that I haven't stayed at a hotel in over a decade, so I really don't know what the costs are now.)
Like 100-150 a night at an average hotel. Motels 50$-60$.
I have literally never wanted to do anything less than this. Gah!
From everything I've seen Star Cruiser looks more like that cruise ship in The Fifth Element instead of Star Wars.
Whoa this dude looks like Colt from 90 day fiancé’s TWIN I literally thought it was him lol
I totally agree. If Disney wants the beaucoup money they really should have tried to play to the older fans that saw the OT in the theater. I've been collecting for 40 years...I stopped when the sequels came out because they didn't appeal to me. If Galaxy Edge had been Mos Eisley and OT, then I'd be dropping $. If the hotel was OT and not Whine-Lo Ren, I'd drop $$$ for that type of immersive experience. As long as it's sequel based I've got other hobbies that are happy to take my money,
Disney really missed the mark with toy story land not having Pizza planet or Als toy barn 😞
Why would people complain about a 130-minute wait? I went to Universal Orlando in the "off-season" and the wait time for Hagrids Motorbike Adventure first thing in the morning? It WAS 30 minutes, then it stretched to an extra 2 hours because the ride is SO problematic, poorly designed, unreliable, etc. It just kept breaking down all morning. After 90 minutes, I gave up and walked away. They really need to tear it down because it's an embarrassment.
Putting the jedi holochron in the sith section really is an eyesore for me and says we don't really care about our lore or products
Rich people don't pay for junk like that...only the working poor; how do you think the 1 % stay wealthy?
This video makes me want to avoid Disney World at all costs…
Your correct Peter and Kitra are the only ones I would TRUST for an Honest review
I agree.
i love peter and kitra so much
That Star Cruiser is ridiculously overpriced and underwhelming. It's just plain awful.
Some of the cast just sound like their not into it "C'mon guys, we're here to rescue you....."
i would love to go do the whole cruiser thing but it will never happen. with having to fly from norway and then those prices. nope.
Lol, no one wants to see a Westside Story!!🤣🤣
Imagine paying the admission and things are down or not there..insane Disney get It together
So high priced garbage trip. My family did universal in Florida and had a blast . I wanted to take them to Disney too but all I have seen was trash. We decided to just do universal and were so right.
Where are all the aliens and free roaming droids in galaxies edge they promised? Besides the hotel?
They should have jawas in at least one market stall, I'd love to see some sort of alien beast of burden, analogous to a dewback or bantha in the streets as an interactive animatronic, some parked speeders, maybe a moving speeder or two, ( use the mirror trick from star wars 77) and add more rides outside the hotel.
The food looks bad. The lines look like a drag, and not the good kind. I miss the good old days when it wasn’t as astronomically expensive, and you could go on a week day when it wouldn’t be as crowded.
Great channel by the way. 👍🏼
How do people get all their toys home? One of those droids would take a complete suitcase 🤨
I neeeeeed to go back. I was a CP at MK in 2001. Got to work in characters. Best time of my life.
Went to Universal for 2 days right before Christmas with 4 people and stayed 4 nights at Surf Side hotel for less than $2,000
It's funny... I'm currently in the process of selling off all my toys/merch/crap that I've accumulated since childhood... and oftentimes I forget that Disney just sells mountains of meaningless merch and toys for $25 USD a pop, every day, to people like who I used to be. I know EXACTLY how it feels to look at a neat and tidy display of toys, for my brain to go "AHHH EDOPRHINS!" and to scoop up armfuls of it. I was that guy... for Sonic the Hedgehog, Dragon Ball, Power Rangers... etc.
Don't do it. One day you look at the embarrassing pile of childish crap and go ..."oh my god...why didn't I stop?" That was me.
Save your money, and buy yourself one, really nice thing that looks impressive, and LOOKS expensive. Not dump-trucks full of bottom-shelf dolls and keychains and meaningless "excess".
I need to take this advice, I'm 30 and my house is pokemon themed, toys and merchandise everywhere haha but I don't want to grow up 😅
I saw someone's video about their stay at the new hotel... way before it's supposed to be open. And it was a glowing recommendation full of concept art? Thanks for the channel rec, I'll definitely be checking that one out!
Budget cuts at a place like Disney makes no sense to me. Greed at its finest.
The droids gave more realistic performances than the human actors.
It’s a coin toss. The earlier promos made the bridge look plastic and the lightsaber training look lame. The new promos look great but are also over produced with flashy lighting and probably some visual effects. I think the cast members and performers will make it very special but that may not matter in the end.
Peter and Kitra will be going twice. The second trip, they paid for themselves.
The imperial officer sounded dead inside
If I was from Disney, I would always watch this vlog and try to correct things pointed out.
The visions of corporations don't always align with their customers' visions. Sometimes they are completely opposite and the corporation will not alter their tunnel vision after investing so much money into it.
Appreciate the honesty and balance between good and bad, subscribed!
I'm wear that same Grogu shirt as I watch this
Disney needs to greatly reduce the cost as not only is this above other establishments price points, the experience is directed toward a niche audience: those who like Star Wars AND like escape room / who done it type experiences. If you break it down to Park Ticket $110, Meals $35x6, Magic Band $30 then its $350 per person plus the 20 hours of 'entertainment' at $100/hour then the experience should cost no more than $2700 for a party of 2 and $3400 for a party of 4.
Without having any influence or bias, even I noticed that when watching footage of the Starcruiser. I was like 'for some reason, this all looks really cheap.' I couldn't put my finger on why. I just feel like there was so much potential with lighting, detail, LEDs, screens...and yeah, they just didn't do any of it. All the walls and hallways and stairwells look so bland and cheap and just clearly on earth. not like a spaceship. And the review people of course are RAVING but when you see it with your eyes, the footage, it's like 'this is not that impressive.' For the amount of money it costs, it does not look worth it. Like, your room should come with a bottle of champagne and a snack area. You should have an incredible tub and shower bathroom.
This review makes me appreciate Discovery Cove and Nasa in Orlando so much more. Thank you for your honesty. $4k? What a joke.
Nope, no way in hell!
I don't like...
Crowds or people in general for that matter! Huge pass!
Disney put out a press release today that theyre shutting down this shartshow.
Just saw another video of footage of the starcruiser. Even if I had the money to waste on it, I wouldn't. You need to be some ultra hardcore star wars fan just to experience a community theater level production where they treat you like a prisoner. They turn on red emergency lights and make you run out of the dining hall when you're not even done eating lol. The rich should not pay for that until the quality goes up, it' looks cheap and embarrassing.
Sounds like someone is mad they couldn’t get a reservation in time
@@justayoungpercussionist4528 Oh hell no LOL, wouldn't even go to that if it was free. If I ever do I'll send it directly to you.
They should have more aliens casually walking around. It just doesn’t feel like Star Wars. And have the land transcend generations. Imagine seeing young Luke and Leia?
$600 a night at the art of animation - I’m spending and have spent $500 a night to stay at the Grand Floridian - I have never heard of anyone spending that at AOA - are you getting a suite on Christmas Day???
A fantastic set of points put forward. I'm really tired of these RUclipsrs not even reviewing Starcruiser things just stating how awesome it is.
RUclipsrs are OFTEN paid and or given other perks to promote everything Disney, they can NOT be trusted anymore than the media!
Unless you actually experience Starcruiser, a review is useless from second hand reports.
Like everything Disney, it's a giant steaming pile of...well, you know.
For this to be a long term success, theyre going to have to change the theming every year or 2. People wont return if its Rey vs Kylo every single time
I wanted to see Officer Krupkeys suit from West Side Story.
I had more fun following a man walking his husky in UK on RUclips. Glad to realise I haven't missed out by not visiting. I couldn't afford a hot dog there? Too expensive. Thanks for sharing as always an eye opener. 😊
Where is the live entertainment ?
The Park is Dead and Lifeless.
It has turned into just one big shopping mall - especially Galaxy Edge of an Overly Expensive Mall.
The problem isn't that you can buy an used car with four grands. If I had four grands to go on vacation I would prefer spent this at Paris, Rome, Tokyo, Prague... Than in stay secluded on a hotel in central Florida.
Disney’s virgin land looks pretty cool
This should’ve been a stage show like Indiana Jones. Disney just wasted everything for this “hotel,” and no doubt this’ll come back to bite them in the ass.
So you could spend the WHOLE DAY waiting for two things? Wow...
Was at DHS yesterday and saw you at Sunset Boulevard which is the portion at the beginning of this vlog.
All the parks are busy as hell. I am so disappointed with the theme park experience. Lines are so long.
Only at Disney is an 80 minute wait "Not that bad."
Did you HEAR yourself say “only 80 minutes”!?! You crack me up. Love your videos. I’m not surprised there might be mold issues in Mermaid, it always smelled so bad. Interesting about the number of costume options being sold Random question- Guests aren’t allowed to wear costumes in GE but guests on the StarCruiser who will be visiting GE are encouraged to dress up. How are they going to reconcile that? They should just let everyone who wants to dress up like Universal does.
They ... are and always have been allowed to wear costumes. You just can't look exactly like a character performer. Like if you looked exactly like ahsoka, that would be a no. But if you wore rey's or ahsoka's outfit, even if it was a really close copy, but your hair and makeup didn't look like theirs, then that would be fine. If you dressed like a twi'lek or any kind of star wars alien, even if it wasn't a specific character, that wouldn't be fine. Also dressing exactly like you're first order, in a black outfit, isn't fine because the attractions cast wear that, but if it's a galactic empire outfit or a grey first order outfit, that is.
Honestly, I was talking about Launch Bay just a few days ago while down at DHS and it still boggles the mind that they put Mickey and Minnie RR where the Great Movie Ride was instead of over at Launch Bay. They could of had 8 instead of the current 7 attractions (yes, 7!!) and it would help with the crowds, but, Disney does not care about the guest experience at this point no matter what their PR department says.
