I think that's true for length of stay in the resort. Think of it as a cruise--you're on the boat 3 days, then switch to a hotel and spend a couple days on your own in the parks. Only here, it would be 3 days on a starship, then 3 days at Poly or Beach Club.
My theory is that it’s ONLY a two day stay, you would augment a normal trip with a two day stay here. Additionally wouldn’t be surprised if the hotel doesn’t offer regular transportation to the other parks.
Yea, this is gonna be larping, not a relaxing stay at a luxury resort.
Sleep No More is a production of Macbeth that takes place in an old hotel. I really think it won’t be role playing as much as a two day long story acting out with guests.
No way, this requires way more than just the JP rooms do.
Well that solves the problem of having park-facing windows and the danger that could create at Epcot... No real windows.
From everything I've heard, all the RP stuff is contained within the hotel itself, including missions and "jobs" for each visitor. The land will probably just have the same normal interactivity for hotel guests as regular day guests... It's just that hotel guests get to walk right into the land (probably before day guests too) without having to break immersion by entering through the park's main entrance.
Ok, that makes more sense. I wasn't aware the RP stuff was contained to the hotel only.
Can you imagine if that's really how they expect to use "characters".
Would hate to be the hotel guest that gets stuck with the "cleaning out the bathrooms" job or the "scooping up the remains of aliens chopped up by a light saber" job.
not to get salty, but I proposed this idea a few posts higher...
But they are windows... windows to another worlllldddd.
My bad, yes. This is starting to make sense lol... But, how does that work with the no costumes for adults rule at the parks? Hmmm.
I would almost guarantee it's an early admission day (or evening). Just the park guests for an hour in the morning before other guests arrive after they "land" there. I'll bet its executed perfectly.
The fake windows are really no big deal. I think you'll be inside running around so much it won't bother you at all- think cruise ship- but your deck time is in SWL. 2 days is nothing.
I think that's the best example, but still shows how out there this really is (for the record, never been to Sleep No More, but friends have, and I've done a knock-off concept here in Orlando). First, it's only 3 - 4 hours. Second, your level of participation can vary--can still enjoy it just as a bystander in civilian clothes. I'm not sure that will be the case in the hotel. As I said, all it takes is one dad in cargo shorts videoing his kid's activities to ruin the illusion. You're basically asking an entire family to LARP for 2 days--this is almost more a Star Wars RenFaire. With luxury rooms instead of tents.
Pirates, I guess. I'm struggling to come up with 1 or 2 more IPs that would work in this format.
Indiana Jones if they decide on building the land in AK and possibly whatever they do in MK with Adventureland or Frontierland?
