Fans blast Disney\u2019s $5,000 Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser after \u201cluxury\u201d suite goes viral DisneyDisney have given Star Wars fans their first look inside their long-awaited Galactic Starcruiser hotel in Florida, but the $5,000 suites have raised a few eyebrows. For long-time Star Wars fans, the prospect of spending two nights in a Galactic Starcruiser plucked right of George Lucas\u2019 sci-fi universe is a dream come true. That\u2019s exactly what Disney promised when it announced the Halcyon, a new hotel as part of Star Wars: Galaxy\u2019s Edge at Disney World Resort Florida. Set to open on March 1, 2022, families can expect the ultimate Star Wars experience, as they receive Lightsaber training or greet a grumpy droid in the lobby. However, after the first look inside the $5,000 accommodation on offer on the Halcyon, fans are shocked at the size of the rooms. They have since been brutally mocked on social media, with one user even accusing Disney of \u201cextortion.\u201d A video circulating on Twitter gave Star Wars fans a brief tour around the \u201cluxury\u201d suits included in the $5,000 cost of the experience. The aesthetic is exactly like a ship that would be seen shooting past Tatooine, but the lack of space has caused some backlash. For the huge cost of entry, guests are only provided with a single room containing a double bed and small bunkbeds, and a cramped bathroom. Furious Twitter user VashSky shared the video, slamming Disney for expecting visitors to pay such a high sum. \u201cThe lack of effort is unforgivable. To charge $5000+ for an experience that includes these \u201cluxury\u201d accommodations is not only unacceptable; it\u2019s extortion,\u201d they said in the tweet. \u201cThe decision-makers at the company should be ashamed of themselves.\u201d The lack of effort is unforgivable.

At a not-very-well-funded university,\u201d said another post. \u201cI actually don\u2019t think I could fit in that shower,\u201d replied dmirfin. \u201c6\u20195\u2033 with broad shoulders\u2026I\u2019d be pretty upset if I paid $5k and had to smell bad.\u201d While we\u2019re sure there is a lot more to see and do on the Galactic Starcruiser to justify a price of $5,000, some guests will likely be disappointed at the tiny suits. But it\u2019s nothing that a quick visit from an Ewok won\u2019t fix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
