Is it going to do the Holdo Maneuver?
Kill itself and be forgotten in a few years? Sounds just like it.
This is when they’ll insist that it was always intended to be limited time experience that only the TRUE fans could enjoy. As a result, it was actually REALLY a huge success.
You have learned classic “disneyspeak”. Or how about “by having Luke be a grumpy hermit we honor the character even more”
It was shitty & overpriced.
To shut it down, rather than reduce the prices, suggests that the overhead costs to run the shit show were too high to be covered profitably at low enough prices required to actually fill the hotel.
They probably won't demolish it. They will probably renovate it to eliminate the huge manpower staffing (actors) & maintenance requirements then re-open it as a basic hotel without all the other bullshit.
Still, a total failure & I love to see Disney fail.
That’ll just cost more money. They’ll save the thousands of TVs for backups while sealing up the living areas permanently. Maybe save it for event rentals.
Eh it's location was shit to begin with. There is no way to make it anywhere near viable for almost anything else.
From all of the reviews that I’ve seen, the place was alright as a Star Wars experience but sucked ass as an actual hotel. The rooms were tiny and the beds were uncomfortable. Plus they’d periodically interrupt whatever you’d be doing in your room for a semi-mandatory live action event that guests are supposed to participate in. The shockingly high price, even by Disney standards, is the final nail in the coffin.
Oh no, there goes most of Clownfish TV's viewership, since they won't be able to talk shit about it anymore.
Whomever thought up "$6000 for a 2 night themed hotel with some activities for common audiences" truly deserves to be Ol' Yeller'd.
It was a woman’s idea, which means applying accountability is misogynistic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLS0X5B1eRg
It's like they saw great wolf lodge and thought "how can we make this shittier and ten times the price?"
I'm expecting George Lucas to buy it back from Disney for tree-fiddy and an expired Arby's gift certificate.
Demons failing upward.
I have a friend with more money than sense that stayed there for a week. According to him it exceeded even his admittedly high tolerance for cringe. Especially all the weird little employee "skits" that were always going on every where you turned.
It's pretty amazing that Evermore continues to survive. It's a constantly changing park with a participatory story and events that happen at specific times. No major IP, and tons of problems, but it's still around while the Disney produced major IP hotel doing the same thing failed within a year.
