Disney has today confirmed its plans to build a new Star Wars-Inspired themed resort at Walt Disney World.

Part of a new Disney 360 vacation concept, this revolutionary new vacation experience will be a living adventure that allows guests to immerse themselves in an entirely new form of Disney storytelling.

“It’s unlike anything that exists today.” Bob said. “From the second you arrive, you will become a part of a Star Wars story! You’ll immediately become a citizen of the galaxy and experience all that entails, including dressing up in the proper attire. Once you leave Earth, you will discover a starship alive with characters, stories, and adventures that unfold all around you. It is 100% immersive, and the story will touch every single minute of your day, and it will culminate in a unique journey for every person who visits.”

The Starcruiser proved that some had little value for money or time. But still not enough for it to be as bad as it was.

what an obtuse observation. 😘

After what Jenny's done, I see no reason for a Defunctland video. Now 10-15 years from now, a Bright Sun Films abandoned video on the building itself would be good.

It's obvious now that time holds little valve for some people.

And if you've ever watched any of her videos before, you know she goes into every theme park experience with full enthusiasm. Somewhere in this video she quips about how the upside to bad experiences is good content but that's never what she's after.

I'm only 2 hours into the video and it's currently the only Galactic Starcruiser content that caught my interest until the future Defunctland episode.

I would take a bullet for Jenny Nicholson. EDITED to add: Just completed the four hour and five minute video and I think I'd take two bullets for her. Starting with time stamp 3:48 (that's hour 3 and 48 minutes in) forward, she articulates some sentiments a lot of us have expressed with Disney and the Florida property in general but I think she does a particularly good job of using aspects of this trip to illustrate them..

Either that or they accidentally thought that everyone in the world was swimming in disposable money and willing to give it away to a new vacation concept. The wealthy Disney fans went through this very fast, and after that, not much of a customer base was left.

Exactly right. Adventures Club closed because it didn't work due to its very small but dedicated fan base. Same thing goes for Star Wars Hotel. Common sense tells you that sales must be decided by the masses, not by a small group of dedicated dweebs.

I’m not sure about that. I’ve been a huge fan of Disney’s newer rides- BATB (Tokyo), MMRR, Remmy, Slinky. I’ve also been a fan of newer shows- Luminous and others. People just generally just aren’t a fan of cheaply or badly made content. Harmonius had the barges that ruined sight lines, Enchanment was simply inferior to its predecessor, and most of the recent Marvel duds just haven’t had good stories. Some similarly unperforming works made in the past included Treasure Island, Pearl Harbor, and Chicken Little. Disney also completely screwed up figuring out how big a market of cosplayers actually was and the financing required to make a cosplay hotel profitable, but made similar mistakes in the past with things like Disney Quest and Club Disney. Basically-every time Disney gets cheap and starts to forget basic storytelling they get burned. It’s not new, and it wont be the last time.
