I was actually interested in the star wars hotel when it opened, but researching lightning lanes killed it for me. It was already haves and have nots before the changes, and somehow they made it worse.

I'm not into Star Wars, but I had to admit that hotel experience looked pretty interesting and unique. Then I saw the price...whoa. I've always sort of wanted to stay in the Contemporary, but it's so expensive...I can stay another night or three in other resorts for one night in the Contempo.

I do believe Fastpasses and Lightning Lanes have really damaged Disney. Walt's vision was that you'd randomly walk around and have a good time. It has turned into a checklist with a schedule. And you have to plan every day months in advance if you want to eat at a restaurant in the park or hit one of the popular rides. I don't believe this is what Walt intended.

The sheer anxiety of planning all this just to still stand in fucking line has made me dread even considering Walt Disney.

I'm legitimately more likely to fly over to Osaka and visit Universal Studios Japan. It would be more fun and cheaper.

If it was priced more reasonably, and they got some people with experience in running LARPs to figure out the storyline, it could have been good.

I would love to go just for the star wars experience
