So, are those leaked images, even though he never says the word “leaked”?WDWNT has a rumored name for the hotel and the spaceship you will be boarding.
If it's true, I dig the logo, and the mock up glass.
of course, it's clearly a rumor at this point.

Plus, I think many fans will see this as an extension of the land, which is something the Disneyland doesn't have.Nah, there's going to be so few rooms that it'll sell out in seconds.
With the less than amazing attendance at Disneyland, I wonder if they are just a little bit nervous about this hotel.
And then there's the best case scenario:With the relatively low cost of construction and the high prices to stay, worst case scenario, they make a little bit of money.
It’s that small of a project that even if it’s a runaway success, they can simply name their price and have full occupancy for years.And then there's the best case scenario:

Now of course, it's a very costly add-on and I do think Disney should be slightly concerned that it seems the interest isn't there among the casual group, but I think they really only need the hardcore fans to make this hotel churn money and I don't think they'll have that big of a problem getting them. Of course, the media reviews had better be spectacular for what i'm expecting them to charge.
And here lies the problem in my eyes...will “hardcore” fans that do spend their life savings to visit be able to do it again?
I’m sure it will so really well the first decade is open, but once the land is no longer “new” and the fans that can afford to spend the money have...who is left?
Short term seems fine, but long term I’m not so sure.
I don't think there's a large audience for this. It'll sell out quickly but how much is that the usual bloggers and reporters? How many people are willing to take that much time out of their vacation for a giant SW experience? I don't know.
I’m a pretty big Star Wars fan, and even I’m intimidated by a “dinner theater show” hotel stay. I feel like I would be rolling my eyes and looking for the pool after the first hour. I won’t be saying “bright suns” to anyone, I wonder if that’s required on the hotel contract.
I think you might be right, but I don't see a scenario where they lose money on this hotel. Also, this hotel would likely be incredibly easy to retheme to something more... generic should the situation become that dire. The hotel not having a pool I think will be corrected fairly quickly once they hear guest complaints and may well even be enough to cause an early expansion of the hotel.I don't think there's a large audience for this.

I agree, but remember that the cost won't be ~$1000. Sure for one person it will be, but who's gonna do this alone? The cost is gonna be like a cruise ship and it's gonna be north of $1000 PER PERSON. So for a family of 4 or 5, that's a VERY expensive and hard to justify stay.It would probably take all of a day to take this from a $1000 a night SW experience, to a $150 a night SW themed value hotel that would sell out months in advance. So far, it doesn't look like an expensive build. 10 years from now, or whenever things slow down, there no reason they can't turn it into a more typical hotel. They probably already have plans drawn up for where to put a pool and additional room wings.
