The 2-minute video has a slightly retro Star Tours feel to it and is hosted by a representative of the Chandrila Star Line, the operator of the Halcyon ship.

Reservations are available now for 2 night, 2 day experience, with the first 'Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser' voyages being March 1 2022. Opening day pricing for 2 adults is approximately $5200 for a standard cabin.

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.

For whatever reason I don't understand, I feel there's been a breakdown in understanding what normal people actually want. In both attractions and film/TV. It's being lead by people detached from the customer base, making misguided decisions on them. So many things seem like they're the nonsense someone studying marketing in College would be saying to justify their bad idea in a paper. "As seen in very popular TV shows The Big Bang Theory, larping is a common activity amongst fans of science fiction. In particular Star Wars."
