Honestly it looks way more like "The Avenue 5 experience" than Star Wars.

Even at $2k there should be much richer set pieces, holograms galore and Boston Dynamics-level robots running around serving unlimited space cocktails and horderves. What this is is $100 a night dinner theater.

yeah I agree, it really doesn't make sense, for $6500 I'd expect to basically spend two days on the Rise of the Resistance ride

And robots that suck your dick

Maybe they’re paying a lot of actors good money to keep them happy and doing good performances?

I can’t imagine something like this being sustainable if the actors start hating their jobs.

Who knows.

Our ideas about pricing are typically based on some people getting paid poverty wages to keep prices down and profits high.

Disney performers are people those deepest into the Disney cult. It's a job that offers prestige and jealous looks from the popcorn servers and little else.

unfortunately one thing we can be sure of with Disney is that all that extra money certainly isn't being given to the staff

the way they get theater kids to move to Orlando and do this shit is by advertising it as 'working in entertainment' like you're gonna end up on a TV show or something by walking around Orlando in June in a full-on mascot costume

Galaxy's Edge is great, but will deteriorate pretty swiftly. You can actually see the back of the mountain from the Disney highway and it's wide open.

I went to the bar, rode the Millenium Falcon, bought some Chance Cubes. I was done in an hour and a half. I was then stuck in Hollywood Studios, which is fairly minimal entertainment, and incredibly dated from being an Eisner era park.

Epcot is now IPcot, with Frozen and Marvel taking over.

Will never go to Animal Kingdom, don't see how a Disney zoo is distinct from a normal zoo, where I can leave and stop at Denny's afterwards instead of paying a lot for a subpar meal in the zoo restaurant.

I know there's a POINT to aiming your service at the whales, it works in Vegas, but really there's a point of diminishing returns with theme parks as people only have so much money they can feasibly spend on an outing, and Disney doesn't appeal to broader demographics, and that's limiting. My brother has instituted a Disney rule for his four children, where they each, individually, get one Disney trip to themselves and can be spoiled completely without interference from the other kids, but after that, they aren't doing it again.

they really aren't baby rides, some of them are pretty sophisticated and interactive, it's not just "sit in this little car and watch stuff happen" all that much at Disney anymore

but I gotta agree that it wouldn't be worth it if you have to fly a whole family to Orlando and pay for hotels and shit, if you live within driving distance it's well worth a day at each of the parks but not much more than that

Even just the cost of park admission is three times the cost of a ticket to Six Flags.

For some people it’s just a once in a lifetime thing to do for their kids just because it’s a cultural thing now.

The crazies are, yeah, the “Disney adults” going every year.

If your kink is being thrown about in machinery extremely chastely, it's the best brothel there is.

There's a subservience to Disney employees that you're paying for. It's an uncomfortable thing that isn't regularly discussed. Employees look you in the eye and smile.

There's tons of cool stuff that can (and has) be done with the setting.

The tent pole stuff kept getting handed to the biggest hacks though, and now it's stuck in Disney cultural cancer hell forever. The Mandalorian was the only half decent thing they did, and even that sucks now.

Mando is still good. Book of Bobba sucked until it turned into mandalorian 2.5.

Movie 8 was also somewhat good despite being stupid in some aspects. At least it was trying new things. Then the right shrieked “woke” and the dipshits at Disney personally turned movie 9 into member-berrie incomprehensible garbage.

Disney just needs to let Jon Favreau take over the entire franchise and step the fuck back.
