Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge (Disney's Hollywood Studios)

They'll put a big plastic replica of the Death Star in front of one of the cheap looking All Star Resort hotels, and triple the price.

Pop Century got some pretty generic upgraded rooms recently, if you didn't notice...

I stay out of the low rent district. I'm allergic to Motel 6.

Personally, I don't think that the Pop Century name/branding is long for this world.

However, if you're trying to infer that Pop may soon become SW themed, I highly doubt it. Due to how small the rooms are, they couldn't charge anywhere near what they could at a truly immersive hotel.

At 400 rooms, this would make it Disney's smallest resort so reservations will be SCARCE.

IF the room number is correct (and I have a lot of doubt), at only 400 rooms, you better bet the price tag for a room will be through the roof.

Blog Mickey got some pics of the beginnings of the static AT-ATs that will be a part of the ride:

I think the hotel will be a huge hit but I can't see it being the kind of place that Brits wouldn't stay for a fortnight as I think the gimmick would wear off pretty quickly.

Especially if the $1000 a night is correct..

I heard that today in the Jim Hill podcast. I honestly had no idea it would be that expensive. I kind of figured it would maybe be a moderate at a push.

"And we can charge anything we want, 2,000 a day, 10,000 a day, and people will pay it."

It's a good thing this is still years off. I'm going to have to have more time to save for a $1000 a night hotel....

People will have to sell the rights of their firstborn children to the Force Darkside in order to afford a multi night room.

SoA facades painted to look less NY, more Southern California, and compliment Muppet area.

Southern California is definitely the look they are going for. It's more to keep the Old Hollywood theme from the front of the park going.

Also, those buildings exterior match the interior of PizzeRizzo.

People think I'm crazy, but on the bulletin board upstairs at PizzeRizzo it clearly shows the address as CA. Sure it's a NY style pizzeria, but it's located in southern CA.

I like that they're trying to create *some* cohesive theming to the park... while they sorta mess it up at the same time. With the exceptions of portals to a galaxy far away and Andy's backyard, we're all Hollywood now.

Hope the front all stays Hollywood. We love the theme & the music. Alene & I always stay till park closing, and we dance in the streets to that great movie time music as the last people leave...Hooray For Hollywood. :thumbsup:...It's a tiny little park. Right now, it's no bigger than Kennywood Park in hometown Pittsburgh. But we love it nonetheless.

Please Alicia don't insult real NYC pizza like that. (Jk)

I hope the new color scheme is a sign of the rockwork and designs being implemented as the entryway to the land. My industrial engineering brain is in overdrive now.

You mean like CA mountainous hills on the front and alien planet on the back?

Do you think the front facing part will look like the tunnel to Toontown (an unassuming road tunnel) and space hills on the other side?

Like this?


As seen in Roger Rabbit:


I'm sure Disney wants their own Diagon Alley style reveal, so I'm thinking as unassuming looking as possible on the front facing side.

EDIT: And I said the pizzeria was NY style, but never said the "pizza" was.

Whoa! Zemeckis really loves that tunnel.

I think it would be a nice homage to Roger to build it to look like his tunnel, since they never built his land and ride and this is about the area it might've been.

I wish they would build a movie theater facade with "The Star Wars Experience" on the marquee.
