The BEST and WORST Things About Disney World's Star Wars Hotel

[@lauraf9860]

I can’t get past the fact Disney promised these kinds of experiences as part of Galaxy’s Edge and then decided to make a “hotel” and reserve those experiences for a select few who can afford them.

[@susan1831]

Exactly! I would say 95% of the experiences in the Starcruiser is what was supposed to have been in Galaxy's Edge. I love Disney World! I really do, right now I'm just not happy on how they are having us pay more for less. If this experience was around 300+/- a night, yes it would more than likely be worth it. Love the Castmembers! They work so hard.

[@girlwiththestarwarspurse]

I agree. And let’s talk about the close-up interactions with characters on the Starcruiser, but not in the parks. Are those types of interactions only for the rich now? Or is the return of hugging Mickey imminent? I hope it’s the latter.

[@christinanewman1542]

@@girlwiththestarwarspurse omg you’re right!! Where the heck were the ropes keeping everyone away from the characters. Hmm, that’s a bit hypocritical compared to what they won’t let us do in the park 🤔

[@Rome8oh5]

Exactly what I think of every time i see things about the star cruiser. This is what was promised for galaxy’s edge.

[@spinhero]

They even have the nerve to say both experiences were "designed in tandem."..well, no 💩captain obvious ...disney man 😆

[@lizw8663]

I think it’s a mistake having the Hollywood Studios excursion smack in the middle of your cruise. Wouldn’t it be cool if it was an after hours event instead, exclusively for the Star Wars hotel guests? Just have that section of the park only open to them…food, rides, light saber & droid building…I think that would be worth a hefty price tag. Either on the first night or last night of the stay. Or if they really had to keep it in the middle of your stay = they could do an Early Morning Magic instead. Let those guests come before park officially opens and enjoy everything before the “earth tourists get there”.

[@lizw8663]

@@CiciColino In my mind, it would be included LOL! Guess that's why it will never happen.

[@jlasf]

I went in May and I agree completely. I think a trip on the first night from 11 - 1AM. Close GE to general public at 11 and shuttles board at that time. They might need extra shuttle/s because there will be a compressed boarding times. For security, they might need to rope off certain areas, but allow access to Oga's. There could be torches along the route to the cantina, which stays open until 1 AM. They might have a little dancing inside the bar since it will be less crowded than during the day. This would be a huge add-on experience; the chance to be in the Park with few people. I expect the Disney people considered this. So, there might be some logistical/security hurdle which prevents it.

Love this truthful summary... We've talked about it among our family and did discuss the suitability for us. For our personal preferences it doesn't seem like a good fit for 2 days. Kinda wish there was a dinner only option with a show or activity added. Time will tell if this might be added in future. Molly, loved your outfits and hair...you were the perfect participant!!

[@skadi84]

While it looks like a lot of fun, for $3,000 a day, I'd expect sets of clothing provided, even if it's Leia robes and leggins, lmao, vests for men, something simple, not even crazy costumes. But the fact that every little cool thing is extra makes me happy I'm not a die-hard SW fan.

[@piercedviking8058]

Welcome to Disney. The mouse will bleed you dry!

[@jlasf]

This is an all-inclusive price. The only things not covered: Captain's Table - I didn't do that and didn't miss anything. Specialty cocktails and wine: Normal drinks are included, but the fanciest cocktails are extra, but you get to keep the glass. As far as costumes, 70% of people made some effort to fit in to the theme. I put together a Han Solo look from stuff I already owned.

[@iheartmanythings]

Molly, I so appreciate your fair and balanced coverage of the star cruiser. I love that you break things down and just report in a fair and honest way. You are one of the few Disney vloggers that I trust. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@kristiparker4139]

My prediction: this won't last for more than 2 years. The rich people who can afford this will go do it, but I doubt they will be repeat customers. Disney is going to run out of participants after a period of time. Even though you broke down the cost, it is still WAY out of the range of most folks' budgets. I really DO appreciate your videos and reviews because it is probably the only way I will ever be able to see it.

[@chrishebert5672]

@@AngelWJedi I agree. Drastic changes are coming by the end of this year. There are not enough people willing to pay $6000 to keep the hotel full through the year. Maybe make this into a 4-6 hour special event excursion for $100-$150? I don't know, big price cuts have to come, and with that will be cuts in what is included.

[@echeng5722]

There are TONS of articles on how WDW ticket prices now costs X% of a household income blah blah blah. WDW is pricing out families and only for the rich. And yet, the parks are full and the wait times are insanely long. Clearly there will be enough demand for this. Its 100 rooms, not 3,000.

[@tweak991]

They will have to "cycle" the plot every so often as there is no reason for someone to ever come back. Two of their biggest mistakes? Basing this on the sequels and having it aboard a "ship". The hotel should have been a hub, like Mos Eisley and you could "travel" to different areas (and not in a box truck, lol) and follow the path of a Rebel or Imperial. Saber training on Dagobah or the Emperor's throne room, drinks at the original creature cantina, rooms that look like they belong on Cloud City or the Death Star, so many possibilities.

[@BanginGearsGarage]

Great video!!!! As a Diehard SW fan and 501st member, I really want to have this experience, but I was hesitant because of the meals. I'll eat anything but my wife is a pretty strict vegetarian. So thank you for covering the difference between the cafeteria style "Quick Meal" options where she could just pick what her diet allows and the "Sit-Down" dinners where she might be able to order specialty meals in advance. AGAIN.... GREAT REVIEW!!!!!!

[@AustinNebbia]

From everything you've said and I've seen, it's Star Wars LARPing meets immersive theater a la Sleep No More, which is absolutely everything I'm about. It's essentially impossible to see everything in one go, you and your companions may have completely separate stories to swap at the end, and any guest not fully committing to the bit doesn't pull you out of the experience but simply fades into the background noise. This sounds seriously incredible.

[@Anti-infleuncer]

Even the price?

[@AustinNebbia]

@@Anti-infleuncer Well, incredible within reason. :P

[@jlasf]

I went in May and you are dead-on. There are many storylines running at the same time. My friend and I were together most of the time, but we got a few separate invites. You will DEFINITELY not see/do everything on one visit. I was exhausted just doing the missions that I had. Some people were disappointed they didn't see Yoda or get Force training. But as the bartender told me, "It's like life. You don't know everything that's going on." My favorite moment: I wandered down to the Cargo Hold to take some pictures. I was by myself. After standing there a minute, the door opened and Rey ran in, wielding a light saber. She said to me, "Don't tell anyone I was here," and then raced out the other door. To this day, I don't know how this happened. Was there a camera that informed them I was there? Was she just running around and I happened to be there? Who knows?

[@amyjacob914]

As an Irish person this trip would be my worst nightmare can't cope with group activities with strangers 🤣🤣🤣

[@galacticcurator8788]

I was on the first cruise and think this is a really good review. I'm kind of an introvert normally but the actors did a great job of coming up to talk to you a bit at times, so I didn't always have to seek them out to talk to them... but it is better if you go and seek them out at times. My wife and I enjoyed this enough that we are planning to go back again next year... it was just such an amazing experience, we felt it was totally worth it. And you are spot-on about needing a rest day after.

[@lisaperson222]

This is cool and all and I like Star Wars....but I'm just wanting Universal to come out with an experience like this for Hogwarts. Imagine booking this and then getting your admission letter in the mail 😭 preferably not as pricey but I think if I could stay at Hogwarts a couple nights in an immersive experience like this....I would cough up the money somehow.

Prediction: these costs will be in place for a few years, until interest dies down and the initial costs to build it are covered. Then the price will drop (not a HUGE amount, still more than deluxe hotels) so more of the general public will attend. But the interactivity will drop - expect fewer character interactions and more reliance on video screens and phone games.

[@bonniehowell9206]

Thats what I think. It will eventually turn into a deluxe hotel with little to no character interaction and food not included.

[@animatedpaintbrush]

Thank you for talking about this in such a deep and interesting way!! I love this kind of analysis. Disney puts so much thought, time, effort and detail into their attractions and they deserve this sort of thoughtful unpacking. They also deserve to be criticized when they mess up and I appreciate that too. Thank you!!

Molly once again beautifully summarizes what this is - its not a vacation - its a LARPing experience. You would 100% not fully enjoy this experience unless you dress up like your own character you want to portray during these two days and then from the moment you get there, you must throw yourself into the story and immersion. Molly did this, and as you can see from her video, she truly enjoyed it from start to finish. I have seen other videos where the people were more interested in nitpicking what was wrong, and they were horrible to watch. Molly is just the best at what she does and thats tell it like it is about Disney and Universal. This Star Wars experience is second to none, but only if you immerse yourself into this rich experience. Well done as always Molly!!

Absolutely agree! I had tears in my eyes when I did the Savi’s experience because I was so immersed into it. If you are someone who can’t be that invested in an experience, this is not going to be for you and that’s totally fine. Don’t say how awful it was though just because you don’t have the ability to get immersed in it.

It all looks amazing! And it is expensive. I could not afford it. I also could not afford a $4k VIP tour in the parks, a trip to Aulani, or even a stay in a delux resort. You know what I can afford? Watching Molly and Quincey (and other youtubers) have an amazing time, like I do every day. ❤🖤❤🖤❤🖤

[@Thegogoyears]

Thanks so much for your in-depth coverage of the experience. As someone who’s been on many Disney experiences including ABD and Disney Cruise Line, the tiny cabin, requirement to be an Uber extrovert and less than exceptional food options will send me to the other great Disney options that I have yet to explore. Because this is such an exclusive option I have no doubt it will be “successful” for Disney over time. There are always people who will pay (pretty much anything) to go back to their neighborhood and tell their neighbors what it was like.

[@trishkeller920]

While I have no desire to go, I appreciate how you broke the cost down. My husband I did that the other night after watching another vlog, I think DFB. Break it down to the ridiculous and it’s not an outrageous price. This is a splurge experience for sure, like a Disney cruise over Royal Caribbean, staying at wilderness lodge and the Contemporary For a special family vacation or 40th anniversary, they have always been worth it. But every Disney splurge experience I have done has been worth it!

[@Byteme34]

Of all the channels who documented the press event, I still think Molly’s was the most immersive one for my taste. Which leads me to question if the storylines will ever get updated and change based on the type of guests who visit. Still, this appears to be a fun experience to have if your budget allows. Looking forward to her review on her “paid” experience. Will she double down and deep dive knowing what to expect this time around? Safe space travels!

So can guests change the story? Say everyone on a trip decides to work for the First Order (I know that would be very unlikely but go with me) would the bad guys win at the end? I can see it having more of a return value if the ending was not always the same.

[@marija9547]

I have this exact question. I know that individual events may change throughout based on who decides to do what and how successful they are, but would the overall ending actually change or would they just tweak things to make it line up with the resistance being victorious?

I loved your entire experience video as turned off as I am from the price, I really had fun watching you follow the entire story. With that said, this experience is nowhere near justified the $6k price tag. I work in the luxury experience industry and wealthy people would not pay for the quality of room nor the level of food served. Also for the price, the amenities are bare bones, no specialty offerings, swag (costumes, etc), or special experience at the park (you’re thrown in Batuu with the rest of the Disney guests in the middle of the day) are included in this premium price tag. As much as wealthy people probably have expendable income, they don’t just frivolously spend on things that don’t hold up to the standards and value they are used to.

[@williamkovatch3427]

Look, I love Molly. I enjoy her videos. I come back to this channel over and over again because her level of knowledge of all things Disney is second to no one. I truly think Molly believes she is unbiased. Yes, I will agree I’ve seen Molly criticize some aspects of the Disney parks. But, Molly is the Rah Rah Disney type. I mean, she cries over a fireworks show. So, I’m happy Molly enjoyed the Gallactic Starcruiser. I think fellow Rah Rah Disney types will love this experience. But, Molly was destined to love it. Look, when Galaxy’s Edge opened, Molly knew nothing about Star Wars. It wasn’t her franchise. But now you expect me to buy that she got so caught up in the experience that she cried when a Holochron revealed a hologram of Yoda? That’s Rah Rah Disney. Don’t get me wrong, it’s why I love watching Molly’s videos. But it is also why I take everything she says about the Galactic Cruiser with a grain of salt. She was destined to love, she loves practically everything Disney puts out.

I also believe that they could make profits higher if they offered day passes to the restaurant on certain dates as well.

This experience is right up my alley. While i am not into Star Wars, i do enjoy larping and deep immersion.

I'm sorry, but I don't see why Disney Parks had bothered to advertise this to the general public. Especially since the majority of the public would not be able to afford this experience in the first place. And if they were . . . I don't think it's worth the price. My sister had visited the Star Trek Experience in Las Vegas years ago. The price was affordable, even for 20 years ago. And she believed it was better handled that the Galactic Starcruiser experience.

[@sha2596]

I kind of agree with this. It shouldn’t have been advertised per say, but it should have had a quite press release and been rolled out to those in Club 33 and living at Golden Oaks. Those who have on the big expensive Disney tours. And folks who do Adventures by Disney. And even DVC. But the rest of everyone didn’t need to know all the details to get a big old case of FOMO.

[@loveydovey9733]

As someone who likes the cosplay and interacting with themed events like ClueApp or True Dungeon, I'd argue that this roleplay experience still isn't worth heaping on the price tag (even if you added the other "perks" with it) because even if you end up being on a different story path than your family - you all end up in the same place. In True Dungeon, you can decide your own fate and go down a path in a huge storyline depending on what you do so your experience will never be the same with other parties involved. You can decide to go for good/evil or even neutral but in the Starcruiser - while you can feel like you can go either path, it's going to end with the good guys winning everytime. So, that kinda chucks any desire to have repeat visits and it doesn't really give you that "personalized" journey that it's saying you do. You're literally playing Star Wars themed D&D in person except with 10+ other parties.

Since you’re a Harry Potter fan like I am, did you notice the part where the captain talked about waking a sleeping loth cat? That really took me out of the story (that I saw unfolding in the vlogs) since it reminded me of the Hogwarts crest saying haha. I thought that was really odd. Overall, I’m pleasantly surprised it looks like Disney pulled off what they wanted to do. Good for them. I hope that the project is a success and that they spin off some of the experiences into an expansion of Galaxy’s Edge or a whole new actual hotel.

My Google Home definitely responded twice to you Molly during this video when you said “Hey Google”. 🤣

[@shellybrown2172]

I was watching Ordinary Adventures and on their last day, when Yoda appeared, I could see Molly and Quincy in the back. I loved that you both got teary in your video and watching your faces from their video was priceless!!! 🥰

[@alexzabala2154]

American western Line dancing and bingo....yeah, that's really immersive

[@giabarletta5929]

The Golden Girls on the space TV, lmao that was awesome 😂

[@FebreGundam]

What surprises me the most is that Disney isn't willing to give you ANYTHING for the "cruise". I mean, most cruise lines and other events offer you a swag bag or something of the sorts, yet the Starcruiser doesn't even offer you a postcard, a pen, a bag, a shirt that says "Chandrila Star Line", just nothing. When I heard about the activity where you build a miniature model of the Halcyon, I was surprised that you have to pay for the model kit, something that's usually $20.

[@mattbriddell9246]

Some things I'm curious about: What is the square footage of the rooms compared to a room on a normal cruise ship, a Disney cruise ship or a normal-sized Disney resort room? What was the crowd size in attendance for the media event? Was it at full capacity?

[@werewolflover8636]

Small, and as much as they can pack into the place! $$$!

[@Liss9248]

Here’s my thought wait 6 months until there is staff turnover with the new staff not as well trained and the current staff get over the newness and excitement and aren’t as into the job, it will not be as good as what Molly experienced.

[@goatelope7539]

I've watched a handful of reviews videos (carefully in case I do hit the lottery and go in the next 2yrs) and yours have been the best sp far. Thanks for the fun and honesty

[@corelladoll2051]

Thanks for your thoughtful input. I appreciate it. You made some very honest points.

[@ksprincess]

Thanks for the thorough review, Molly. I realized that this type of experience wouldn't be my cup of tea, but my husband (a huge Star Wars fan) may want to do this for his 40th birthday!

[@anthonyc8963]

The only way I would pay $6000 to stay at the Galactic Starcruiser is if Molly was included with the room....beautiful, funny, AND purple hair, the total package. She would make sitting through a 12 hour insurance seminar enjoyable...

[@starlightt4094]

You might have meant that as a compliment but it comes off as gross and creepy

[@katyhand4428]

Thank you for your really informative videos Molly. Are 4 adults allowed to sleep in a standard cabin with a double bed and bunkbeds?

[@mikefischer9327]

Thank you for a very clear explanation of what can be expected regarding this experience. Exactly what people need when considering doing this

[@angelazuspan6302]

Any idea how cast member shifts run? I can't imagine they switch the characters out during a cruise considering the amount of interaction there is. Do you think it is one cruise on, one cruise off? Do they sleep on board?

[@HerHollyness]

I’d imagine they do one on, one off for the actors. Food and beverage maybe just work shifts like normal with one cruise off every now and then because they’re not ‘on’ the whole time. I noticed the acting cast at the media cruise were all different to those at the first paid cruise. Who knows though? Good question.

[@danalvarez4384]

I have to say by far your review has been the most sincere and open minded I’ve seen. Do you get easy access like Lightning lane to ROR and Smugglers Run at Galaxy Edge as a guest of the Halcyon?

[@andreaswart4800]

I’m an introvert with anxiety who travels with a family of extroverted Star Wars lovers that are very excited for this experience. They will never go without me but I am socially very awkward so I do t know how this would go.

[@emmess6419]

With the purple hair and brown harness, Molly kind of reminds me of Imogen from Critical Role lol

[@ryanspruce926]

Great video! And thank you for stating up front that your opinions are honest, Disney doesn't make you say things, etc. It's crazy the conspiracy theories that are out there about the media previews and such.

[@sarahofthedsc]

I’m going to need more editions of “Molly Knows it All” please and thank you

[@KaitTheUnfunny]

Appreciate the review, Molly! My boyfriend I and I came to the same conclusion - we would only ever come here if we won the lottery 😂 I am wondering what the chances are that this becomes a regular hotel in the future and all the immersive stuff is stripped away? Would more than likely stay in this hotel if you were just paying for it as if it were a hotel and not an immersive experience.

[@Riceball01]

It would probably very expensive to do. They'd have to do extensive remodelling and rennovations, starting with making the rooms large. Then they'd have to stip out the immersion stuff like the bridge, light saber training, etc and convert all of ths space for use as something else. They'd probably also need to make space for a parking lot since the only cars that are going to be there right now are those of the cast memberrs. And they'd also have to dig up a good chunk of the outside to add a pool ince no high end hotel is not going to have a a large pool area for their guest. And installing one after the fact won't be cheap or easy.

[@spinhero]

Unlikely, the immersive portion is pretty much the foundation of the whole experience I think. I too wish this was just a -better themed- hotel with more alien crew/passengers that won't necessarily have to be "asking for help" in order for the story to advance, and for all areas of the ship to be accessible regardless whether I select the "right" answer on the app in my phone :/

[@tyronenurse8202]

Molly, I always love your information, your style and yes you look beautiful today! However, when you say Disney does not tell you what to say or that you have to be positive. I have watched so many vloggers who were not invited to the galactic starcruiser show screen shots of Disney correcting their hash tags or comments when things said were not positive. I just want honesty before I spend 6000 dollars. Please tell me why some vlogs say they were personally told they had to positive and you are saying that's not true? Thanks Molly!

[@kidamere2408]

yeah they say they are not compensated, but yet get a free 6k trip to this hotel; i would say you were pretty well compensated.

[@arielperez3613]

When you’re not paying a huge amount of money it’s easier to be more lenient about the experience. We’ll just need to wait and see how the general public feels

[@lavetaloca7790]

some of them are just jealous

[@harrisonev]

Love how you are so down to Earth!!

[@AllEarsNet]

We see what you did there...

[@DailYxDosE]

Disney uses such cheap mattress but charge so much for the hotels. I stayed in the old key west in December and the beds felt like motel mattress. are all disney resorts like this? Your average hotel off the highway has better mattresses loll.

[@Gary-Seven-and-Isis-in-1968]

Thanks for the honest review. No mention of the infamous Bingo Game that another KZbinr has reported on, so maybe it's fictitious? You're spot on about the price, as with so much in life, a thing is only worth what somebody is willing to pay for it, that factor will determine whether or not this Hotel is still open in a year or two.

[@donackerman4529]

Love your take on this. I completely agree on new characters because it’s a Star Wars universe! Let’s explore and rehashing messes up our dreams.

[@chant2day]

After I listen to your whole review I must say we'll done thanks!!

[@solarisdevorak]

As someone who leans towards being an introvert, I can say that when I do things like dungeons and Dragons and other role-playing games I am quite the opposite because I am no longer me for a moment. Hopefully other introverts can step into a character and step outside of themselves and take full immersion into this experience.

[@angelazuspan6302]

In terms of crowding, was the media cruise at full capacity?

[@jessicaclark4922]

I am here for this purple hair, Molly. It makes your eyes so blue!! I love it!

[@B82828]

Did she reallly just say one of the “perks” is air conditioning!? 😂

[@FullPourForYou]

One reason why Molly is great - a 9 minute, well thought out answer to the ‘is it worth it?’ question. Enjoyed seeing Craig in your clips.

[@hotwasabi1085]

If I had the money I’d do it but I just don’t have this kind of money. I’m loving living it through your videos though, thank you so much!!

[@theresabravo3762]

Thank you Molly for the summary 👍! I am so happy you enjoyed your stay and visit to the GalaticStarCruiser.....BUT it's a HARD PASS for me not worth the price for the experience!😊👏👍
