Yep.

If not do not bother it is really, really bad.

I think everyone on the set was either high or intoxicated

Except for certain shows, we typically don’t watch commercial TV.

I pay for satellite channels, so why watch the free ones?...................

The few shows I watch on commercial TV are recorded. So I fast forward past the commercials.

That would not pass Florida building codes.

But Disney was it’s own law at the time......................

Disney is now engaged in a new enterprise: Woke Wars. May the farce be with you.

Even spending that kind of money you were not allowed to record video or take your own photos.
Disney was charging extra to have someone else do this!

You stayed inside a windowless box.

The hotel failed because it featured only characters from the sequels, which are despised by a majority f Star Wars fans.

Nobody wanted to see Rey, Kylo etc. or that era .
They wanted Han, Luke and Leila. Storm Troopers.
But Kathleen Kennedy wanted to destroy Star Wars and she has done so.
Most of the attractions of the hotel were supposed to be in GalaxyS Edge for free.

The price was way too damn high. Less than 48 hours cost 6 k.

The quality of experience was poor and too many things were expensive add ones.

Disney is turning into a woke zombie enterprise at ludicrous speed.

Has zero to do with Florida feud.

The hotel was already shutting down weeks and offering discounts before the political situation

Truth is fans hate the sequels. This hotel was a sequel one

Star Wars is dead and the rat and Kathleen Kennedy killed it.

They also just destroyed the Mandolorian this last season.

No one gives a damn about the Acolyte or a new Rey movie.

On the other hand the Star Trek Enterprise Casino would have been awesome!

Disney is dead. The first three Star War movies were simple fun if you liked that type of entertainment. Disney had to take over the franchise and after the 250th sequel it’s DEAD. Disney’s creativity is dead. It’s sense of wonder DEAD. It worships “DIE”, diversity, inclusivity and equity without any spiritual, moral or ethical center. Disney committed suicide.

If you want an immersive hotel experience, try the TWA Hotel at New York's JFK Airport.

I am a huge star wars fan, and comfortable financially, but I wouldn’t have stayed in that place for 1/10 of the price they were charging.

There aren't that many families that can afford to blow $5K+ for a 2 night stay. If they do, it is been there done that. I suspect cooperations that pay big bucks for retreats aren't putting up with the nonsense..
