In fairness to them, I get the impression that this isn’t really like any of their other hotels. The way it was described to me was “like a cruise, but without the ship”, and I’d say that sounds quite apt based on the description we’ve had so far. Heck, I’d go as far as to say it’s probably even more hands-on than a cruise, because cruises don’t usually have such a rigid itinerary, from what I can tell!
I’ll admit I did initially baulk a bit at the price, and I do still think it is a fairly large sum of money for pay for a 2-night experience (our last Florida holiday probably didn’t cost a huge amount more than the $6,000 quoted for a family of 4 for 2 nights, and we stayed for 10 nights in our own exclusive villa, with our own rented car), but when you take it into context, it makes a little more sense. This is more like a “once-in-a-lifetime experience” type thing for any Star Wars fan, from what I can gather, and as much as it wouldn’t be my cup of tea even it was a lot cheaper, I’m sure there’s many a die-hard Star Wars fan out there who would gladly pay such a price for this kind of experience!
And I guess it does include park admission, in fairness… many park hotel packages don’t.
Out of interest, what does the itinerary actually consist of?
EDIT: For those who haven’t seen the itinerary, this article by the
Orlando Informer gives a good idea of what guests can expect:

It all sounds pretty hands-on, doesn’t it? I’ll admit that this sort of thing isn’t really my cup of tea, but I know there’s many people out there who would love this sort of thing!
