Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser

It would be interesting to hear the entire quote verbatim because that seems a little high, but I’m guessing it’s the semantics around timing and whatnot.

But that likely means they’re going to bulldoze it, and probably before the end of the year.

Maybe Disney could work with Universal and get a good twofer price, and bulldoze F&F along with Galactic. A 'special 'Two Turkeys' deal.

and....WDW attendance has appeared to nosedive the last month....so future SW Hotel bookings might have been 'projected' to drop drastically. Get out while the getting is good. This might be a tough year for Orlando theme parks. Covid money gone, and customers dissatisfied with the direction, cost and operational, parks/hotels have taken in the last couple of years.....and economic uncertainty, actual or imagined, looming in people's minds.

I think it will be a tough year for Disney more than other parks. Disney has become so reliant on charging whatever they want to cover costs at the margin they want it will be much harder for them to offer deals to boost sales that can make up for it.

'Imagineer Division' and 'Greatly Inflated Costs' are different words but mean the same. A few years ago, Mice Chat had an interview with an ex Imagineer and he documented how they extremely overcharged for everything, even mundane stuff like cardboard signs, small props, etc. A real eye opener.

I remember reading this years ago but cannot recall who the interview was with. I think it was an operations person, not an Imagineer because I recall them saying they put up a temporary sign which the Imagineers were not happy about.

If anyone has the link to this article, I would love to give it another read as I cannot seem to find it myself.

It was pretty long ago. But it appears the leopard still has its same spots. Though, I seem to remember it as a former Imagineer division employee interviewed , who was just stating that operations was p _ ssed concerning the really outlandish cost of something they could have picked up at a local printer shop for a few bucks instead of a few thousand.
