So it does, I knew I had read it somewhere! Maybe they have realised that at those prices they’re not going to get many takers for 5 days.
I know DH will want to splurge at some point at stay at this hotel. I’m “meh” about the whole thing. I like Star Wars, but not a die hard fan. I don’t know how I feel about staying in such a barren, sterile resort. If I’m paying that kind of bucks, I want comfort and natural surroundings.

To me, the hotel really isn’t “Star Wars” specifically (well, in many ways), but more generally “science fiction” with Star Wars influences. As such, I think it would be a fun experience in that sense.
There was a time in my youth I was saving up money to go to Space Camp in Alabama. (I ended up using the money to buy a computer instead, but I had saved for over two years!) To me, this sort of becomes like that Space Camp dream experience.

Not announced yet but WDWNT seems to think the addition of Brazil to WS is all but a lock.
What is the anticipated pricing?
I have heard that on at least 3 podcasts. I wonder if it will happen.

I don’t know how accurate the rumors (or websites posting them are) so I don’t want to post any links or give attribution here, but if you google “star wars hotel pricing”, you will see articles with rumors of astronomical pricing.
This doesn’t sounds like a ride to me. More like a viewing and/or short walk through experience.

I’m a bit sad that my kids will never get to experience the unique theme park of 1980s/1990s EPCOT, but the new stuff is just accelerating the changes that have been going on for about 20 years. I wish WDW would have updated Horizons, World of Motion and Wonders of Life instead of replacing/closing them. The said, the park is a mess now so I’m excited for the changes even though these types of changes would not be my first choice for the park.

Agreed! The rides (all 2 of them) were better before the changes. But, I do like that WDW added the Disney characters throughout world showcase.

What? $3,300 per person is not what you had in mind? “It is like a cruise.”

In fairness, the price to add additional guest to a single room will most likely be less than $3,300 per person.
Even if the rumored pricing is true, I still think the hotel will sell out for many years. With only 200 rooms, it doesn’t take many people to fill it.

I WAS excited but now it’s a hard pass for me. I think only major Star Wars fans and people that can throw around an extra $3-$8k for a 3 day experience will do this. And a cruise is NOT that expensive, lol. Can do multiple cruises for that price tag

I will admit I was a little put off by the cost of a 4 night Disney cruise. That looks like a bargain compared to two nights here. Do you think they will have a Remy 
?

Oh absolutely it will sell out for years. The astronomical price tag will be fully justified for quite awhile. However, I am happy to wait (and save). If it was less, my mommy guilt would kick in but for that price, nope.

So I know that Rio wasn’t one of Disney’s big blockbusters, but I really want them to make Brazil happen and then do an FOP like hang gliding ride. I loved the music from that movie and would love to “fly” over Brazil!

My kids are 4 and 2 so I figure it will be about good 5-7 years before the experience would make sense for them anyway.
