SO basically the hotel is getting all the interactive and extra entertainment originally promised to all guests.

I have to say, it does look like a pretty cool idea. Just not something that will ever be in my price range. So I will have to live vicariously through youtube videos I'm afraid.

Also...Are there NO TVs in the hotel rooms?

NO POOL and NO TV...WTF kind of hotel is this?

So, the questions I still have about this experience are regarding the port day on Batuu. I would assume, in order to preserve the hyper reality of this costly adventure, that guests would be on Batuu without interactions of normal DHS day guests and there would be a plot and story that is carried out at port. That being said, guests would also not have access to the rest of DHS since they are supposedly out in space visiting a distant port and using a special ship to get them there. Not sure how this will work logistically with DHS regular visitors.

This isn't really a hotel. This is more of a multi-night experience.

Idk if the rooms will have TVs or not, but I can say from my 7 or so cruises that the TV rarely ever gets turned on for me. If there's as much to do here as there is on a real cruise ship then those things won't be an issue.

Space Windows > Ocean Windows.

In all seriousness, I could see the "Space Window" turning into a giant TV..if Disney was smart.
Would be a pretty "neat" effect.

I'm not in any way trying to sound like i'm defending the hotel.

I think the hotel has many interesting components to it. I also think that it's the only way to get the *true* Galaxy's Edge experience and it costs WAY too much.

So for me it's a mixed bag. On a short 2-night, 3-day thing, I can easily go without TV or and not be bothered by the lacked of a pool if the activities and stuff are really cool. It's not like you don't know what you're getting yourself into when you buy a "Cruise" to go to Batuu anyway. But even while I see that, again, it's way too expensive and the likelihood of me ever staying here is probably <1%.

The biggest issue for me is how much this place is going to depend on the cast members and their acting ability. For 5 grand for a few days they better be Oscar worthy.

I can guarantee there will be kids clubs on this thing if it is run anything like DCL. I'm still not convinced there won't be TVs in the rooms. Remember, the windows that project space ARE tvs. It's very possible that those have a regular TV setting in them.

Yes, this is my guess as well.

A Voice activated...Screen that goes from Window to TV..would be pretty cool too.

The article talks about TV screens for guests to receive new missions, so maybe those will also work like a regular TV when not in 'mission mode'?

They could show popular documentaries such as the 9 part series 'War in the Stars'

Looks like he is either posting to Inside Universal forums or commenting on a ParkStop podcast.

Why are the guests running things on the bridge? Shouldn’t there be a trained crew for that?

DOES THE ENTIRE CREW DIE AND WE HAVE TO PILOT THE SHIP?!?!

I guess we cancel each other out, as our squad is already making plans to fill a room.
