Exceeded expectations or rolled over
See what the first people who went there said
The world's first immersive hotel, Star Wars: Galactic Star Cruiser (hereinafter referred to as the "Star Wars Hotel"), has officially opened.
The hotel, which took six years to build, is undoubtedly a Disney milestone.
It subverts traditional resorts, with no spas, pools and other leisure facilities, only a two-night interstellar exploration tour.
You'll travel through the Star Wars movies, board the galactic spaceship HALCYON, and become a Jedi or Messenger of the Force.
Overseas Star Wars fans have long been unable to sit still, and the two-night hotel, which costs from $4,809 (about 30,000 yuan), is sold out before July.
People who have experienced it have mixed reviews, with some saying, "The room is very uncomfortable, and it doesn't feel good to integrate into the interaction with the phone." ”
Some people also gave five out of five stars, "it was an unforgettable memory." ”
Whether the Star Wars Hotel meets everyone's expectations, see what the first people who have been there have to say.
01
The location is discreet
Crowded in at the door to check in
Located in Disneyland, Orlando, Florida, Star Wars is connected to Hollywood Studios and is part of the Galaxy's Edge, a Star Wars-themed park.
The hotel is extremely secluded and can only be found by a sign.
The exterior of the building is in the form of a battleship, which is very futuristic and technological.
You can't get a full view, only the cement buildings leading to the hotel's launch capsule and the crowds crowded through the doorway.
Check-in is the place where the whole process is most complained about, the hotel checks in at 1 o'clock, and everyone gathers at the door to wait for the staff, about 50 minutes to enter.
Fortunately, the "Star Wars" theme song was played repeatedly at the door, igniting the enthusiasm of Star Wars fans.
After confirming the check-in information, the staff will issue a bracelet to each person, which is the key to the room and the code to enter each area.
02
Restore the plot of the movie
The interactive performance is the highlight
You'll need to take a "hyperspace trip" to the main body of the hotel, the Galactic Spaceship Hacylon, and start the two-night journey.
Everyone who boarded the spaceship came to celebrate the "Halcyon 275th Anniversary", and you can pick your favorite character and match it with the corresponding costume, or you can be a passenger.
Entering the lobby, you'll meet Galactic pop star Gaya, as well as her agent, Raithe Kole, and it's worth mentioning that Gaya will perform at dinner time.
In addition, there is Sandro Alimander, a musician who left Earth for the first time, and Captain Riyola Keevan.
Here, whether it's a waiter, a captain or an actor, an actor, everyone has their own story.
They'll tell you about their hometown, and stories about Star Wars, and they'll be able to get into the characters quickly even if they haven't seen the movie.
You will receive a calendar of events with suggestions for a good study.
The most popular is the lightsaber training room.
The lightsaber is a pivotal weapon in Star Wars, with a separate training room inside the ship, located on the 4th floor, with a capacity of 16 people.
In order to realistically recreate the scene, Disney specially created the Force weapon, and the person in the front of the line will challenge the machine with a lightsaber, and the person behind will use a shield to block the beam of light through.
In addition to personal experience activities, there is also teamwork, and you may form a team with strangers to perform secret missions.
The mission is to sneak a Resistance ally aboard and infiltrate the engine room to restart the ship, but someone steals the access code and causes the mission to fail.
You'll also have the chance to explore the hidden space inside the ship, the Engineering Room, where secret meetings are held.
After the mission, everyone returned to the atrium to wait for the performance.
At this time, the Star Wars theme song sounded, accompanied by screams and cheers, which was the most memorable moment for all Star Wars fans.
03
Fully enclosed cabins
Immersive dinner show
The 100 cabins are distributed on three floors of the hotel, namely Standard Cabin, Galaxy Suite and Captain's Cabin.
The interior is completely enclosed, with almost no natural light, and instead every window can see space, and the view outside the window changes as the spacecraft navigates.
The cabin mimics the space design of a spaceship, with a compact area that accommodates only one bed, a slide-out table, and a bunk bed built into the wall.
If you come for a holiday, such a room will definitely be disappointed; but for most people, it will not stay in the room for much time.
Based on the film's setting, Correcia is a planet famous for its shipyards, which built not only the Halcyon star cruiser (aka the hotel), but also the Millennium Falcon.
Each dish has a story, blue shrimp, black lava bread and blue milkshakes that can only be tasted in space.
As for the taste, it is as curious as the dishes.
The highlight of the day is dinner, and each night there are performances with different themes.
The first night is a cheering performance by singer Gaya, who greets you at each table.
The theme of the second night is "Taste the Milky Way".
With lighting and music, the chef begins to introduce each dish, after which the staff presents it to everyone.
After dinner, it is recommended to go to the Light Lounge for a drink, the bar is not large, only a dozen people can accommodate.
The round table that occupies the center is actually a game table, where you can play games while tasting special flavors.
04
The price is too high
Leads to polarization of comments
Is it worth spending more than 30,000 RMB to experience?
The YouTube blogger's answer is, no.
"Star Wars hotels are by no means mainstream luxury hotels, it's not for everyone. If you're not a Star Wars fan, you can spend less money on vacation and stay in luxury hotels. ”
Although it's an unforgettable trip at the hotel and you can experience any activity you've never had before, there are still plenty of things to upgrade, such as cabins, apps, and more.
Of course, there are also some people who give it a positive review.
"Both the sense of engagement and the interaction of the actors' performances are great. If you like theme parks and improvisations, then the hotel is worth experiencing. ”
MISS believes that the value of a Star Wars hotel is not the room itself, it is subversive for the industry.
Incorporating entertainment, storytelling and interaction into the hotel sets a new benchmark for the future.
