Surprise, surprise<\/a>: there aren\u2019t as many people willing to plunk down nearly $5,000 for two days, to live out Star Wars fantasies, as Disney decides to shutter the Galactic Starcruiser experience in September<\/span><\/p>\n I like to think that this was some convoluted experiment by Disney, in seeing just how far they could push a price tag before it actually proves to be insurmountable by even the richest of the privileged class.\u00a0 And it appears that they\u2019ve found their answer with the Galactic Starcruiser, and that roughly $1,200 per person per night for a two-night experience seems to have found that breaking point where they just can\u2019t swindle enough people in order to remain open.<\/span><\/p>\n Now I like Star Wars, even though my fandom has been put through the ringer throughout the passage of time and the growth of the internet.\u00a0 Sure, my fandom has been disrespected, invalidated and questioned by the smarmy segments of fans that feel the requirement to test the level of interest, and the internet has more than opened my eyes<\/a> to just how shitty and insufferable the base majority of Star Wars fans are, but there\u2019s no level of dedication to the property I could achieve to where I would think it was a good idea to drop nearly $5k in order for mythical wife and I to have a two day LARP in the world of Star Wars.<\/span><\/p>\n All through the journey of speculation, development and execution of the whole Galactic Starcruiser idea, it was pretty early revealed that this was something that really only those with the deepest of pockets would be able to partake in.\u00a0 And when stuff like this is priced out of oblivion for the rest of the, well world, I begin to feel resentment towards it, so it makes me feel smug satisfaction to hear that Disney is pulling the plug on it, in such short order.<\/span><\/p>\n At the same time, I feel more disdain for the Mouse at not just, lowering prices, and making the whole thing a little more attainable for the rest of us pleebs, because if it weren\u2019t more than my property taxes, I\u2019d probably be interested.\u00a0 The idea of shuttering it versus lowering the prices is an egregious act of arrogance of the biggest asshole variety that really could only come from the money printer known as Disney.<\/span><\/p>\n But when it really comes down to it, good riddance to an experience that really was catering to the 1%, and it\u2019s very amusing that even the 1% reached their limits with this whole idea, to where even a company that\u2019s so adept at glorifying their wins and hiding their weaknesses like Disney, to have such a public and monumental L on display.<\/span><\/p>\n Because as an annual passholder, I can say all this shit, because nobody hates Disney more than their annual passholders.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Surprise, surprise: there aren\u2019t as many people willing to plunk down nearly $5,000 for two days, to live out Star Wars fantasies, as Disney decides to shutter the Galactic Starcruiser experience in September I like to think that this was some convoluted experiment by Disney, in seeing just how far they could push a price … Continue reading The Galactic Starcruiser experience shutting down pleases me<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[79,45,76,83,52,166,190],"class_list":["post-49382","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-cashmoney","tag-fail","tag-geeks","tag-observations","tag-owned","tag-vacation","tag-white-people"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49382","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=49382"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49382\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":49384,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49382\/revisions\/49384"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=49382"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=49382"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=49382"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
