Here is the remainder of the starcruiser footage! (In case it wasn't clear, the experience is really only 2 days, with the final morning just being breakfast and checkout)

I'm back to full health; the Tinkerbell video should be up tomorrow, I just have to finish editing it!

Galactic Starcruiser (vlog edition) Day 2

Comments

Glammer Hammer

my absolute favourite part is the pan from the panic on the bridge to the Rodian just busting it down outside

Zachary C

The coolest under mentioned detail in this is that all the windows have continuity of location including when other people are doing the secret bridge supply run

Zachary C

You got it scarily correct

Niki Rakauskas

As far as the Hondo comment - he says the thing about the Halcyon when you’re in the room right before the cockpit! That being said he hasn’t said it every time for me lol the cm has to trigger it

Ryan Chin

I wish I had a Skippy plush to bring to Disney world. I need to shop for "weird Disney space anteater plush" so I don't pay a premium

Robert Romero Jr

This is the closest i’ll ever get to experience a $6000 star wars rp

Krolmeister Sisters

Obsessed with the fact that on the bridge mission, you get a score of how many things you hit, which really just translates into a body count.

Markus D

I feel like the Star Wars series is really one where nobody talks about collateral damage and the fact that lots of people are dying with enough gravitas, besides the rare series like Andor. Someone could really just make a "Spec Ops: The Line, but Star Wars" and it wouldn't be especially far-fetched.

Scrum Diddely Umptious

Its hilarious imagining a luxury cruise ship asking its passengers to engage a sovereign nation's warships and the implications of that, does that make you all enemies of the state?? I imagine that has pretty serious implications for a random group of space tourists haha the resolution being the general giving up is funny but i mean theres a muster list for the ship, kylo ren was there, he knows who was on that ship and presumably you're all fugitives now??? My most unpopular opinion- I like that Kylo bonks Reys head. I would have liked a more atomic blonde style no holds barred action Rey in the movies. It shows its a fight between respected space colleagues, as weird as it is to see coming from a disney kids show lol Equal opportunity being bonked on the railing for all!

Scrum Diddely Umptious

I know its been 3 years, but I saw on a cooking show if you need watermelon for salad but you got a bland or watery one, you can add some sugar, vaccum seal it, and let it sit in the fridge. Apparently it comes out with the taste and texture of a perfect watermelon! Maybe they use that trick to make sure their melon dishes stay consistent out of season. After everything, I still wish I could go to there except with drinks included, way less children, and the actors just there to set the vibe. Maybe I roll out of the dining room to go watch a dramatic tableau from time to time, cheeses and wine in hand. No crates- just me drunk at the dessert buffet again in between rounds of space bingo. It could even be the same price, and hell, keep the pole. I just want to get space drunk

Magistrissa

Maybe it's just me but if my spy handler tells me the intel is from their BFF I'm gonna question its veracity and if the BFF and/or the handler are double agents.

Magistrissa

A person with a chipper voice saying "if you're with the First Order, please raise your hand!" is the kind of theme park tonal dissonance I kind of love

Brian Webb

Oh no it’s okay I didn’t need to sleep before work

Edgar Allan‘s Hoe

I love watching an old Jenny video I can recite by heart, then checking my emails and seeing a new Jenny video has arrived so I can give my synapses a little change for once

HB

only a sith has a bedtime

Morevan

It IS pretty upsetting that it is less 'choose your own adventure' and more 'do as you're told'. The only reason I'd ever want to go is to pretend to be part of the Star War and decide for myself which side my alien self would be allied with... which I think is pretty much why anyone else would want to do it too :/

Rushka Unverricht

It's an epic movie length day two, woohoo! Thanks Jenny!

Lisa

As an empath, I think Jenny wasn’t the biggest fan of the Galactic Starcruiser experience

Morevan

Okay the more I watch the more annoyed I get on behalf of the guests about how half-baked the experience is... this is half a year's salary for two days, it better be FLAWLESS

Sidekick

The melons were compressed fruit. You cut up fruit then use a vacuum sealer to compress them. That's what gives them that distinct look.

Jenny Nicholson

That's weird, is there a non-aesthetic reason people do that? They just tasted and felt like normal cubes of melon

Tasha

I guess they want to control the numbers of people on each path - it seems pretty crowded so I guess a lot of crowd management is needed. For that price personally I would have expected it to feel a lot more VIP than normal Disney, by which I mean less crowded.

Galewolf

Thanks so much for these videos! It's so cool getting to see inside, since I wouldn't be able to go and do this. I totally agree with you about the app though, it's weird they have so many minigames, as if it's a videogame - but no one plays a videogame for the minigames, they play it for the main game. And I was surprised by how many they ask you to do! I think It's a cool idea, it just needs a better execution.

Morevan

omg I CAN'T, everyone nearly died and those two aliens are just bopping away outside the window

Richard Reeves

Wow! Thanks for banging out so many bonus vids this month, Jenny. The whole experience is less impressive than I imagined, but seems fun enough for a family with kids. I'm not sure if you're planning to speculate in the final video on your main channel, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on how the experience might change over time if Disney ever starts to cut costs.

Spud

I don't believe so, I think its mostly just to add different textures or appearance to a dish, although I think you can infuse different flavors into the fruit by using vinegar or syrups, but if it tasted like normal melon, I'd guess they just did it for the aesthetic

Morevan

Ah they got me, they got me with the Star Wars music manipulation! Even I felt a bit sad when the video was over and now I want to go (for a quarter of the price, obviously)

Jerry Nicholson

I don't even remember being promised a Tinkerbell video

Luis

I was struggling to find a movie to watch this weekend but now I have this gem and I already know it's better than anything playing at the theaters. Thank you Jenny!!

Liz Jones

Wait so is it two days with arrival day being day 1? or 2 full days, and then an arrival / departure day on each side (for 4 total days)?

Brorsan

There’s a horseshoe effect of being too young or too old to care about the theatrics. I love looking at the parents and imagining what they’re thinking about.

Brorsan

The movie music doesn’t even make sense, it’s non-diegetic unlike all the other music I’ve heard in these videos

Katie Kraynak

SO MUCH CONTENT BLESSINGS ABOUND

Steven Clark

This looks miserable, like I wouldn't even want to go through all that if it was free. I'd rather just go to work and do my actual job that I get paid for.

Elisabeth

Maybe it’s just because of the source, but I swear the Patreon logo is out in space at 2:10:47. 😂

Rose Stachowicz

I don't care about Star Wars so it took me way too long to realize this is a hotel and not an actual cruise ship. The hotel room was so small that I thought it was a cabin!

Bullseye

They should have served roast porg.

Darren Pierce

They turn the hotel around at lunchtime every other day. So each "voyage" is a half day on day 1, a full day on day 2, checkout on day 3, and the process repeats for the next batch.

Jonas

I would listen to a whole album of that space alien DJing

Natalie Arnold

Honestly this. You'd think they'd like, stagger events so smaller groups of guests get to see them. If you factor on that different people will do different storylines, some sorting even takes care of itself.

Rae Shropshire

yesss im so happy i was just thinking about this video

Kyle Williams

This makes even less interested than before. At $6000 for two days I would be pissed off at spending the better part of one of those days in the theme park, something I could do for far cheaper on my own anyway. I would much prefer two full days of interactivity in the hotel.

RiteofWriters

Yay! Thanks for uploading a part 2. This was super fun to watch.

Ben Reilly

Yes, that part is surprising. And when you consider the first day is only half a day, it’s underwhelming

Scarlett Dale Woodall

Maybe objective resolution for the missions should rest with cast members. You show them your scan list,they credit your account number.

Aaron Lutes

too kind. the sibling energy is strong with the black spire excursion

Alexander Lamontagne

I like how they refer to the station teams as like Legends of the Hidden Temple team names. Golden Mynocks, White Wampas, etc. Very good.

Ripley

The cast members are all so good at their jobs your interactions with them always make me smile

Matthew

the greedo lady happily dancing while completely oblivious to the high stakes action in the adjacent room is great

Natalie Arnold

Seeing the intense puddles makes me wonder how much they actually accounted for Florida having waaaay more rain than California (at least I think it does, I don't live in either). Big inconvenient puddles makes me suspect the water drainage is lacking :/ The game design seems incredibly bad. Can it really not track that you already scanned a crate? It's also funny to me that the LARP that costs a bajillion real world dollars has a haggling the price down mini game. I wonder how they accommodate international guests who maybe don't speak English that well, especially if like, one member of the group does speak English but their partner/parent/etc doesn't. Does the app have language options for "decoded" text to be displayed in? Are the teamwork bridge games only with your own party, which presumably have a shared language? What if you flew in from Pandora? Does the data pad support Na'vi? That's a long way to go only to fail mini games due to a language barrier. Jenny vs the Pillars is quite the saga. Was following Rey down the hallway not an option? Watching her pry open doors and end up right back in the starting room for the next group would at least be a unique variation of the path. How did they enforce the muster stations? In Day 1 you said your spots from the drill were your spots for the muster, right? But did they actually check that people weren't like, pushing for a better view of the exciting finale or was it just the honour system? (sorry for all the questions i just figured this was better than spamming the thread as i watched)

Aurora

Omg which are your go to Jenny videos? I think Vampire Diaries is my most watched/listened to one.

Aurora

It was the winning ramble topic I think! :)

Jennifer Joan

This just seems like a larp that costs more than I have saved for an international trip. I think it would be cooler if the hotel was affordable and you could just explore the ship and maybe character meet and greets, but I think the show is superfluous and not very immersive because in the end you're just watching a show.

Bryan Sutton

1:55:30 Jenny says after figuratively killing Hannibal Buress

Magical Girl Mel

I appreciate that the final Rey and Kylo battle has gotten smoother since the footage I saw of previews. That's great. Love seeing improvement. I also think that it was a nice idea to have that piece of the ceiling drop to draw a portion of eyes away for just a moment so the Rey actress can swap to the more durable lightsaber since it seems the one with the visible expansion isn't sturdy enough for combat.

Joy Wood

This was such a gift! Thank you!!!

Trevor Atwood

Even just replacing the question mark with an exclamation point seems like it would make that whole aspect SO much clearer.

Holly H.

Ouannii was the star of the show, I love how much footage Jenny got of her!

Laura Thorpe

Oh I also didn’t realise the park visit was in those two days. Is Galaxy’s Edge pretty quick to visit though?

silverbugs

watching the fight scene at the end while slightly sick and feverish was truly an unmatched experience, thank you

Liz Jones

That was really interesting, thanks for posting the live blog videos. I think it would be the most fun to just stay in a cool themed hotel and enjoy the themed food and drink and all that (for a more reasonable price), without any of the activities or events going on.

Stephen M

I was curious, from a quick google, it looks like the melons were compressed, which is usually done with a vacuum sealer. It apparently removes the air trapped in the fruit, makes the texture more dense, and intensifies the flavor. I apologize if this was already addressed in the video, I got excited by weird fruit. :D

JT

after the first viewing, i treat all of Jenny's videos like a podcast that i play on repeat

Billy Campelo

I live in Orlando and we get awful thunderstorms like that pretty much every afternoon for at least half the year. I’m a passholder and they definitely have drainage problems in some areas. I remember trying to run through Tomorrowland during a storm one day and the water was ankle deep :(

Billy Campelo

I feel like it would be cool to just be able to walk around for like an hour to look at stuff. I get why you can’t just walk into this one though unlike all of the other resorts. I’ve been trying to price out an international trip for two and they’re averaging half of what this costs for 5 days including airfare and I just can’t imagine this will be sustainable for them once the initial wave of visitors come through

k

I love DJ Ouannii so much

Darren Pierce

Anybody here familiar with MagiQuest? (Jenny would have a blast at the one in Pigeon Forge, which is super-themed.) This seems a lot like a Star Wars version of MagiQuest. Except MagiQuest gives you a wand to use to unlock stuff instead of using your own phone, and all the quests and puzzles are interlocked and work properly, and it only costs $30. If they fix the software / gaming aspect, bring the price down, and offer a premium dining experience (like every place else at WDW), this could be really something.

Casey May

the food actually looks so good though!

Jerry Nicholson

Oh I see! I assumed that "Starcruiser Vlog" won the ramble topic. So this is just a total bonus!

Meg Fig

Thanks for sharing the footage, Jenny. So glad you gave us both days. As a family of six we have the captains suite booked in November (you can probably guess how much it costs) and I am so conflicted. On the one hand, it’ll be a once in a lifetime, last family trip (my oldest will be 18 and a high school senior when we go). On the other hand, it’s stupid expensive and seems like a lot can just have sad trombone music play during it. Super interested in your review of it! Thank you for your honest perspective!

Ham

Very impressed with that Rey. Samie needs to work on his delivery though-- too many "ums".

Caroline

@Aurora Mine is "This Is DEFINITELY Not A Published Reylo Fanfic Novel." Mostly because no matter what video essay by any creatoer I put on when I get in bed, I *will* wake up at 2am with Not a Reylo Fanfic playing. It's become a comfort video tbh.

Caroline

Rey's character performer is really fighting for her life with that accent

Jesús G

“I trust you will keep SK safe” jenny: “I WOULD DIE FOR HIM”

Jenny Nicholson

Yes, but they've also made kind of an unfixable problem. The way I see it they have approx 6 usable hours per day with their cast of characters. (An 8 hour shift, with lunch and keeping in mind character performers are on the clock for the time it takes getting into and out of costume/makeup. This excludes characters with full face covering like stormtroopers and Ouanni, where they can double up performers and rotate them - and probably do since characters in heads usually take more frequent breaks.) Day 1 is only a half day with the guests arriving at 1pm and lunch right away, so nobody notices when they wait to send the cast of characters out until 4pm and then they work til 10. And SK and Ouanni show up before everyone else, again because they're not constrained to a single performer's shift duration. So basically, the excursion to Batuu on day 2 is to compensate for the fact that none of the characters are going to get back on the ship until 4pm, the latest possible time guests are allowed to take the bus back, during which time the story couldn't progress.

Katherine Evans

Oh my god at the final song. Amazing. I was not expecting that and it was utterly delightful

Cynethryth

Whoa! Thank you for posting all this content. Above and beyond! I wonder if anyone else feels this way, but I think any instance of "John Williams-esque Star Wars soundtrack music" on the ship would be immersion breaking. Especially during the bridge training and story beat. Just feels like "oh yes, whenever we have a tense moment on the bridge, we turn on dramatic, symphonic music". I don't think there's really a "game" at all. I think it's all about balancing the guests throughout the 3 tracks on day 2 - who gets reassigned is entirely random. Or maybe it is all pre-determined anyway, and you're just given the illusion of choice on day 1. I think if they just pre-assign you to a track, guests would have a more consistent and honest experience, even if it's not the one they wanted. I feel like the experience of swearing allegiance to the First Order only to be warmly accepted by the Resistance the next morning is far too jarring, and they shouldn't even give guests the option to do that if there's a chance you'll be reassigned anyway.

Ally Roth

This was such a treat, thank you Jenny!! Can't wait for your full analysis queen

Cynethryth

@Brorsan - the ship's power might not be working...but you better believe we have a dramatic symphonic soundtrack to go with this lightsaber duel!!

Luis

Man this vid was immersive af. Really felt like I was there experiencing all the activities myself. Really good job. Not quite sure I'd be willing to spend that much to go for real, but watching this video was the next best thing.

Jenny Nicholson

Agree, and all the marketing has heavily relied on phrasing like "a real life video game," "choose your own star wars story," the imagineers did a whole talk at a game developers' conference where they proudly showed a branching tree of story options guests can travel along. Press outlets are calling it "a star wars choose-your-own-adventure." (Interestingly, I've found out that all of the publications who were hosted for free had an abridged 4-hour experience where they were basically fed dinner, played 1 mini game, and watched the finale. And then had the rest of the experience described to them by the marketing team and... I guess just took their word for it.)

Tricia B

the intense asteroid battle and then panning to Ouanni just vibing in the lobby really got me lmao

Dan Gibbins

This was great, because we got both Past Jenny's unbridled enthusiasm for the experience, which is so infectiously joyful, and Present Jenny's thoughts on what did and didn't work. Made for a really fun watch. There rarely weren't times when I thought "They absolutely could have put some animatronic droids here" but it was never more egregious than the shuttle to Batuu. One little robot would have made the difference between "Star Wars shuttle to a planet" and "Sitting in a slightly themed box." And that end fight was pretty legit, Rey did some great stunt work there. Two vlogs and THEN a ramble? We are spoiled this month. Thanks so much!

Richard Reeves

That's what I was thinking too. At the current price, I'd probably feel anxious about not getting my money's worth and go for the packed itinerary. However, every time Jenny stopped to eat or grab drinks, it seemed more fun. I'm sure the bridge is meant to be the high-tech centerpiece, but it'd be nice if there was an equally huge observation deck for "stargazing" away from all the guests blasting TIE fighters.

Emmaline Kim

is it just me or do the stations kinda seem like team building summer camp games but with a way bigger budget?

Emmaline Kim

I wish they let the guests choose their track before arriving on the ship maybe online or at check in on earth, like if you want to be first order or resistance or a surprise, and then given people story beats within that grouping. If you chose before you arrive, it would help the immersion that it's all happening to you but in reality they're putting you on a predetermined track. I definitely thought it would be more escape room vibes

Dahlia

Truly, the pole is already a better villain than any Star Wars Antagonist.

✨ sophie ✨

it feels so dystopian to have people shell out so much money and then see everyone in this beautifully built environment stare down at their phones the whole time!

✨ sophie ✨

also, thank u so much for spoiling us this month Jenny!! these vlogs were two serotonin boosts for me.

Meg Fig

Somehow, the pole has returned!

Thread Bomb

On a planet with three suns, "bright suns" is more of a curse than a greeting.

Dotbeau

Thank you so much for these vlogs, it is now apparent how to optimize your $6k luxury starcruise experience: 1. First allegiance is to the food. They clearly put the most design effort in here so eat everything 2. The most fun to be had is in the lounge bar. Spend most of your time there. Bonus points if you make a friend with a bday today bc thats the best performance of the night 3. Obviously when in doubt follow Ouanni. Stunning dancer, great conversationalist, and probably the best chance of getting into a dope afterparty. 4. Smash your phone on the concrete while waiting in that sweaty intake line. This will allow you to enjoy 1-3 fomo-free Ty Jenny you are the best. Also pls do your outfit breakdowns for us! From the glimpses we caught y’all looked incredible!

RinZombie

I love the part at the end where it's just the camera quietly sitting on the table in the cafeteria. I really felt like I was there.

luella

(dumb question sorry) do you have pantomimes in America? idk this whole thing gives me panto vibes

Daisy Frabell

I adore your philosophy on enjoying the moment so much. Critique can come after! This experience isn’t really my ideal cup of tea, vacation-wise, but I was really enjoying myself when you were in the cut scenes, bridge game, or roving interactions actually speaking with the cast members! And I just don’t really connect much with target shooting practice, but as soon as you started the grabbing station, I learned something about my psyche… losing things in wide open space feels like a real concern and makes the world feel bigger! I think they could sit my in a ‘window’ with an untimed grabbing game, and I could happily hunt down space junk and ‘examine’ it for hours! It’s like a beach combing thing.

Daisy Frabell

That’s so interesting about the scheduling - do cast members have a good union? I know while most jobs can pressure you into overtime, they can’t actually schedule you for it, but there are certainly legal schedules like working four 10’s, or even three 12’s, instead of five 8’s. It seems like this job could potentially fall into the same category as camp counselors, although I wouldn’t wish those expectations on anyone, so I hope there IS a good union protecting them!

Lauren Damon

The switching from pin to sticker is really Something.

ChrisMSalvin

In the inevitable Defunctland video on this "attraction", it will surely be mentioned as one of the first signs that the budget was only ever going to go down from opening day on.

Thread Bomb

Luckily, Jenny is also a fan of things that are lame or bad.

Thread Bomb

I think I would spend most of my time chilling in that cool bar.

Thread Bomb

I imagine the outdoor excursion also helps prevent some of the guests getting cabin fever, as a break from not seeing the sky for 48 hours.

Thread Bomb

Yes, from what this video shows I think I'd be tempted to spend the two days alternating between the bar and the dining room!

Thread Bomb

It sounded authentic to me.

Thread Bomb

The lack of consistency with the story track will be really disappointing for people who want to roleplay through the experience - as I imagine a lot of people would.

Thread Bomb

I loved that Jenny and sis were the only ones to notice it.

Richard Reeves

I was also fascinated to hear that the pins can just.... fall off unless you spend more money on a trinket that locks them in place. Really nice to see they spared no expense, haha.

Thread Bomb

That pole is Rey's father!

Thread Bomb

The US has wild west stunt shows. Basically the same thing with less whimsy and more murder.

Ren ☆

The little add on love story is so cute

Coral De La Garza

That’s me with the Porg! It was so nice to see Jenny at Galaxy’s Edge.

David A Behlman

Might those jousting shows over dinner count as well? Shouting for your knight and such gets the audience involved. Either way, pretty funny that the US versions are inherently about fighting. Bring the kids!

tagliatelle grande

Even if the main characters couldn’t be on board, I would totally prefer to hang out in the cool bar or do cheesy cruise style Star Wars-universe stuff (space limbo? “History” trivia contest? Watch a “documentary” they made about some random planet? Etc) rather than going into the park

David A Behlman

Is this story before or after TLJ? Either way StarCruiser joins us all in trying to forget TRoS. Except for the little alien mechanic.

Eva N

this is a ridiculous thing to notice and have weigh on my mind but sammy (?? i think that's his name) looks like the secret love child of will arnett and charlie puth

Shred Cadmium

I described this to my brother exactly as "a Star Wars panto with no jokes"

Jacob Crowe

Maybe it's just me but the fact that they pump in music during the dramatic scenes is kind of distracting. Edit: I see I'm not the only one.

Dan Gibbins

If I heard right they called Kylo "Supreme Leader," so that would put it between TLJ and TRoS.

run_away

This is really interesting... so these disney experience things are basically brand name dinner theater?

Eleanor Woods

I think its really interesting that they tried to give you the force/jedi path even tho you were doing everything in your power to not get it? I'd imagine they would be looking for any chance to give someone a first order storyline.

David A Behlman

A detail that slipped by me! Thanks. Should have held my tongue until after the second viewing, ha

Ricm

I've noticed the cast for main characters is different in Jenny's Vlog than in some of the other videos I've seen, like the actor playing the first order officer or the actress playing Rey. How any different casts do they have? I'm assuming they are on some kind of set rotation.

Sarah Jesness

I feel having to be on your phone all the time must really suck any fun out of the experience. Like, if I want to be on my phone all day I could do that at home, lol.

Jenny Nicholson

That's a good question. I've noticed at least 3 Croys which makes me think the other characters have similar casting. It sort of makes sense since each performer does 2-day increments. So, two performers to split the week in half, and 1 alternate for better coverage in case of callouts. But maybe there's an even more complex understudy system, like maybe some of the lightsaber and bridge training instructors are crosstrained to take over for a principal actor if necessary. The biggest obstacle to figuring it out is that nearly all the vlog footage of the experience comes from the maiden voyage, and the media preview. And both of those happened to have a lot of overlap with the cast we got. I've seen 1 still photo but no video of an alternate Captain Keevan, and no footage at all of an alternate Lenka Mok. Maybe they have "primary" performers they use more often?

Kelsey Barton

I’m not a huge star wars fan but you make everything so fun to watch, and this really made my week. So thanks so much for sharing!

Rushka Unverricht

I'm glad they gave Sammie an heroic moment near the end there, after being manhandled by the stormtroopers. When Croy started complimenting the Captain at the dinner, I was thinking, is *this* the romance Jenny was talking about?! lmao! It'll be interesting to watch these vlogs again after the main video is out, to see what sort of accompaniment they make to the full video. Thanks again Jenny!

Michelle Burkhart

After all the talk of immersion and living your Star Wars adventure, it's so disappointing to see the reaction of the passengers to the red-alert call to muster stations. The culmination of 30 hours of groundwork and "gameplay" and it looks like basically no one is buying into the story at that moment. Nobody is acting like this is the pivotal moment in an adventure they are truly living (Jenny's playing along, but seems to be alone in that). There had to be people on board who entered ready and eager to participate in creating this experience, but somehow their enthusiasm has been stifled by this point. Please tell me there were people who were more hyped in that moment and the camera just didn't capture them. This idea has a ton of potential, but it has major design flaws. The cast and crew were killing it, though, especially Oanni.

Michelle Burkhart

Disney already has a plethora of themed hotels and themed food and drink, though. It would still be cool, but I appreciate that they're taking a swing at a bolder idea. They just need to execute it way better.

Craig Richardson

I'm looking forward to the final review for a chance to see Jenny's outfits. There were only short glimpses of them on the second day and they looked very extravagant

Lenimph

I don't want to be a bummer but I think the "One Galaxy" song changes depending on suggestions from guests if you take the time to talk to them while they are writing the song. So it probably isn't going to be on Spotify. At least that's what I think I saw on Always Believe's channel they chopped their filming up a lot. Thanks for putting this up Jenny. Unless Disney dramatically lowers the price I am never going to have this experience and seeing your journey is probably the closest I'm gonna get to going. I am getting married this year and probably could've gotten someone else to pay for it as a honeymoon thing but why would I do that when I could ... go to Hawaii and look into a volcano for like 2 grand less.

Jane Mahoney

I'm admittedly not a big Star Wars fan, but as a themed-entertainment fan, both of these vlogs were really fascinating to watch; I really appreciate how committed the CMs were!

Natalie

When they were outside I think and someone yelled something like, "who's in the first order?" And they raised their hands like ???? Are we roleplaying or not??

Austin P. Smith

That pretty green alien deserves so much better. I'm livid.

Jonas

Agreed - that green outfit on day one was incredible

Abby M.

I love how even though a lot of the experiences are objectively kind of lame, Jenny is not only polite but actively in character/playing along with all of the actors and cast members. I'm sure it makes their jobs a lot more fun!

Scarlett Dale Woodall

Droids are computers that can hold data. I can put McGuffins in them for 50 years.-George Lucas

Scarlett Dale Woodall

But is that volcano a nostalgic reminder of your childhood? Does the volcano prop up a global entertainment economy?

Benny N

I have a theory about why you got the Resistance storyline, and it may not have been random. I haven't been on the cruise, so this is just based on what I've seen online and speculation, so please take it with a grain of salt. Here's my theory: they always want a similar number of people on each storyline, to keep the group numbers manageable for the popular storylines and avoid having cast members perform for hardly anyone for the less popular ones. So for the less popular storylines, they take the people who have interacted with those storylines the most, even if those people have interacted with other storylines more. So, even though you did more First Order stuff, you also did some Resistance missions, and because the Resistance storyline was not as popular on your cruise, and because you did more Resistance stuff than the other people doing First Order stuff, you got put on the Resistance storyline. It didn't matter how much First Order stuff you'd done; because the Resistance storyline needed more people, all they took into account was how much Resistance stuff you'd done.

Laura Elizabeth

What I don't understand is how dressing in specific character costumes works for immersion and larping. If someone is in full accurate Rey costume, how do cast members deal with that? Do they pretend it's a passenger dressing as an homage to a famous person in the galaxy? What if the guest wanted to roleplay a Jedi? The Jedi are died out all except for Rey and Kylo, so how would that work? If someone's dressed as an X-wing pilot, does the First Order treat them differently? The alternative is that the choice in outfits just go unaddressed, since I'm sure the cast are instructed never to contradict or disagree with a guest's roleplaying. But that's even worse if the guest is in elaborate character costume and everyone just ignores it awkwardly, since it's not a convention. Like at a con, if you're one of 25 Han Solo cosplayers snd everyone ignores you despite having a perfect costume. I've seen my share of at cons and have seen hints of it on some GS vlogs. There seem to be some core problems as far as immersion and larping that wouldn't be an issue at other places, like Harry Potter world or Evermore. Those places encourage you to be yourself or an original character, at least. I'm super excited to see Jenny's outfits and character because she seemed to understand the assignment!

I keep watching all the story bits through the eyes of someone who really just wanted to go a nice cruise but keeps getting forcefully dragged into helping the resistance lol.

Markus D

I'm surprised that they didn't build the whole experience smaller and let far fewer people in at a time. It's only a two-day experience, but I guess that the cost/earnings wouldn't work out for Disney?

Tasha

I wouldn't pay to do this myself so enjoyed the chance to see what it's like - the actors all did a really great job! The food and drink looked great too. For me though this could've been a drinks reception+ dinner show with some interactive elements, I dunno if it needed to be 2 full days including overnight stays. They could make it much more affordable then too and get rid of all the phone based stuff.

Markus D

I feel second-hand embarrassment for the cast members, because they were clearly giving their all, but a lot of guests didn't seem to be... buying in. It doesn't help that it seems like Disney gave the crew a bit of a... compromised ship to work with when it came to trying to deliver an immersive Star Wars experience.

Thread Bomb

I think there were a couple of jokes. The guy playing Kroi seemed to have a sense of humor.

Thread Bomb

The couple of guests who pulled out their own light sabers during the big fight were probably into it.

ThisIsMe

I don't know if you found out that yet or not, but the different audio from Rondo occurs when you're about to enter the cockpit of the Falcon, on that little screen, not in the pre show with the animatronic Rondo. I saw that on the video that Molly did for AllEars.net

Maria

Super nice that you tried to help others with the app scanning!

Jack

I love the kid that spied and recorded a first order meeting! She's going places!

Gabrielle Taylor

Probably a lot of the extra cast is needed because of potential COVID exposures. On Broadway, half of the casts of a lot of shows are understudies right now, and Broadway's a situation where the actors are in a huge open space far away from the audience.

MW

The fact that a good chunk of a very expensive experience is scanning QR codes on props with your smart phone is really disappointing. I remember when I went to Disney with my mom as a mother-daughter thing in high school we splurged on going to the restaurant in the hotel in Animal Kingdom. I would love if something like that would eventually be an option like just go and do a dinner show with an abbreviated version of the story and get to eat the cool space food. The cast members are doing such a great job and theres a lot of cool theming but the story element is obviously the big draw and clearly lacking. Also I would hate to be as scheduled as this thing clearly is.

Jenny Nicholson

Boma? One of my favorite WDW restaurants! (They have 2 at that hotel tho and I haven't tried the other) The problem with the galactic starcruiser is they've built is so physically small it doesn't seem practical that they would open it up to the public at any point. The lounge, atrium, dining room are very limited and only manage to avoid crowding because they have activities pulling you to other parts of the ship, and a cap of maximum 400 guests. But I could see a future where they slash the prices, eliminate the interactive stuff, and it's JUST themed rooms. And then make the restaurant exclusive to hotel guests and have an alien singer but no overarching plot.

MW

Also for the very few who would be able to go multiple times- if you aren't in control of the storyline there's not much incentive to do so? Like there's no guarantee that if you got the jedi story this time, that next time you'll get to do first order or smuggler. You might just get stuck in the same one, so it's the same experience. Obviously this is priced to be a once in a lifetime thing but...it doesn't have to be

Bradford Kinney

i loved this video so much! thank you for making us so much content jenny! the performances by the various actors onboard really impressed me. obviously there's only so much that you can reasonably expect, but these people were really inhabiting their roles, i thought. the pole is an instantly iconic villain and i would like a t shirt

Dahlia

The pole is hiding JJ's scenes for Rose Tico.

Dash

Kinda like you did for all our sins—thanks buddy!

James Flemming

Thank you for sharing your experience! It was super interesting to watch

Dash

Also, she finds a nice balance of throwing some curveballs but not in a “gotcha!” kind of way

RisaRoni

This was REALLY nice to see and hear your reactions to. I feel like this is the most authentic version of the experience without actually being there. Also, I can't believe it! I spotted my friend Azkadelia in your video, she's one of the bartenders dancing for the birthday!

Rickochet

Everytime I saw Ouanni I was just like "Yas bitch WERK". An icon through and through! 👽

MW

Yes! Boma! It was so good. Yeah, the overarching plot is such a good idea but it doesn't feel like they've nailed it which just makes the price seem more questionable...

Michelle Burkhart

Yeah, no doubt once the finale gets going, people are into it. On camera, it didn't look like there was a lot of anticipation in the preceding moments, when people are moving to the atrium. Maybe exhaustion, maybe a disconnect from the story, but that looked like a low-energy crowd. Props to the final scenario for pulling people out of that funk.

AudreyDuck

Watching Jenny and the other guests spend so much time struggling with smartphone apps is incredibly bleak. The cast members and designers are trying so hard to make it immersive, but it’s so difficult to do when there’s this completely separate game going on pulling the guests’ attention away.

AudreyDuck

Jenny saying she wishes she could just hang out in the lounge and take in the atmosphere—yes! By a country mile, the most memorable part of my trip to the Wizarding World was having breakfast at the Leaky Cauldron. Just let guests explore!

AudreyDuck

I think dressing as characters is banned at Disney parks, but maybe there’s a Star Wars exception? I’m sure it was a proposal at some point during the development process, but I wish they had costumes for the guests that they could pick out and put on before entering the hotel. It’d be so easy too! Just a lightweight robe that can be worn over street clothes.

ts_babyjane

we have ONE galaxy! and this is our ONE patreon!!! let's come together and be happy wooooooooooo!!!!!!!

AudreyDuck

After watching the whole thing, my main thought on how to improve this is: decide if this is an experience for babies or adults. Because right now, the ages of most of the people attending seem to be between 13 and 45, and yet the whole game is simplified enough that a two-year-old smashing buttons on an iPad is going to have the same experience as someone like Jenny, who’s actively trying to participate and play a game. So either commit to the hotel in it’s current form and make it clear in advertising that this is an experience for young children and their families, or make the version that was promised with interactive aspects and actual puzzle-solving.

Laura Elizabeth

@BrittaBott they don't allow character cosplays in the parks, but they're allowed in the hotel. (As long as there's no helmet or full face mask, or prop weapons.) In Jenny's and other's footage you can see people in full Rey, Jedi, Ventress, X-wing pilot, and other accurate costumes.

Joe

Have you ever done any immersive theatre like Punchdrunk before? There really are moments where actors really do take you on your own and you experience something by yourself. It can be really magical.

Kalolof

Weird that Disney would place their greatest original character, and addition to the Star Wars canon, and put her as a side character in an interactive hotel attraction. Her finale was great though and maybe she'll get a Dinsey+ series or something. The struggles of space musicians are somewhat under explored in Star Wars.

Alex Willging

I don't know how much I'd enjoy an entire weekend of all this, but I love side characters like Ouanni just doing their thing in the background. Also, I feel the same, Jenny, every time an astromech droid shows up. They are smol and deserve our protection!

Anna Surman

ok idk if it is just me but the costumes of the actors look so uncomfy it just seems like that kind of fabric that feels icky and isn't breathable at all AHH idk i just feel like given the budget for this whole thing you think they could have made some seemingly more comfy costumes for the actors

Alex Andra

I would comment that in the US, $6,000 is about a couple months' salary, if you're going by the average of $50K/year. So thankfully not as extravagant as half a years' salary, but still very expensive and out of reach for most people.

Alex Andra

It's interesting to me how I got secondhand sensory issues from this - I didn't realized how stimulating all the noise and commotion were until the video lingered on the quiet moments in the room or the hallways. I would probably have had the exact same FOMO of making sure I got my money's worth and doing all the activities, and then gotten unwittingly overwhelmed by all the constant noise and harsh lighting. It kind of reminds me of Jenny's discussion of Project Stardust in the Star Wars Land video, and how most people don't realize how they exhausted they are running around all day until they notice a bench to sit for a minute. Sounds like this experience could have benefited from LESS interactivity and more time to just wander and enjoy.

Emmaline Kim

TBH I like the vibes of the hotel and I would like to stay there as just a hotel bc vibes, not participate in the gameplay. It would be cool if in the future they opened the hotel as a regular hotel part time.

Emmaline Kim

could be cool if they made different storylines for family friendly and adults only! Of the 4 storylines, they could convert one to being more challenging, escape room style content, possibly darker cut scenes and only assign it to adults with no children. I'm pretty sure you tell them how many adults and kids are in your party when booking, so they would have that information. It would also prevent adults from taking away experiences from kids in larger group settings and avoid the situation where you get scheduled to different cut scenes than the tasks you did. Also they could have some of the adults only events in the bar area which would mean more money spent on drinks!

Thread Bomb

I just got my drink, nooooo!

Markus D

I think that the area of the hotel might be too small to have that going on simultaneously, but it would be a great idea if they could alternate days for families with kids versus just adults. I think making the adult one have less of a packed schedule would also probably draw more people in (honestly, I don't get why the experience isn't three "proper" days anyway since check-in takes up part of the first day, so the second day seems crammed full), because the atmosphere, food and drinks, and interacting with the cast members are almost certainly going to appeal to more adults than participating in a long string of simple shooting mini video games. Also, FFS, just make the light-saber activity like a simple fencing class or have people hit actual targets. As-is it looks like playing baby's first Just Dance game without music.

Markus D

I'm guessing if it's popular/requested enough they could put out a version of One Galaxy that just has "default" lyrics. Honestly, I'd be surprised if there wasn't one (or at least some lines/words) written already in case the musician doesn't get enough recommendations or ones that they can work into the song.

Markus D

I also thought it might be Croy and the Captain even though that would be kind of crazy given the politics of the First Order.

Markus D

It sounded a lot like Rey, but there was also a certain "strain" to it, in my opinion. It might just be the acting in general, but it sounded like she over-delivered her lines. Edit: I don't know why I was so easy on her. It definitely made me think "Oh no, me accents slippin'!"

Ben Reilly

Fun to experience it with you. These vlogs will be vital historical chronicles in 20 years, when Galactic Starcruiser will have been closed for 18 years.

Lovely

Yeah, seems like it would be fun to have a chill version of the place. Just to soak up some ambiance.

Natalie Henry

it rained that much when i visited batuu, it was definitely disappointing there weren't really a lot of places to take cover from the rain, especially in a place like florida with heavy rainy seasons lol

Elizabeth Farmer

geez even on camera u can tell that rain is TORRENTIAL

Markus D

I didn't know that about Florida, but I really feel like the people who designed a theme park there should have.

That's terrifying.

Kodak

why is the kylo ren and rey fight in this better than all their shit in the rise of skywalker lmao

R. Hammond

just want to say i believe in you completely - no notes :)

Tuke Laylor

My favorite part is when your sister said “that’s not our problem” during the Asteroid Incident

James ShinHito

I’m sure Jenny is already aware and it might have been commented elsewhere, but apparently there *is* special dialogue in the Smuggler’s Run ride! It’s just not in the pre-show, but apparently on a screen in the Chess Room? Hondo does pretty much say what Jenny guessed he would say! https://youtu.be/_ez-rLCLqjU

James ShinHito

Yeah, I was surprised by that. I realize that his character is supposed to be a little ‘green’ and unsure of himself but when he was in scenes with the super professional performers like the captain the difference in skill was especially jarring. That bridge session with Sammie was just even more chaotic with the excessive fillers.

Jenny Nicholson

Sammy has spun his starcruiser role into a tiktok influencer career & that's all I have to say about that

wauwy

Greetings, legend!

wauwy

But he sold the pole... to protect it.
