Considering the amount of money being spent in this thread, I think everyone wants to keep the force positive right now lol. I will say, as someone sitting on the sidelines, I am also waiting on reviews with uncertainty.I understand your point about Batuu and please realize my cynicism is not directed at you, but the only illusion I'll be under is why the heck did I just spend this much money on a two night fully-immersive reservation only to be given a quick service lunch voucher and admittance to a park (that I already had AP access to for "free") for 8 precious hours of that highly-expensive reservation. IMO, this is just a way for Disney to cut costs for the star-cruiser experience. Maybe I'm missing something?
Although I'm generalizing, it seems that one has roughly 4-5 hours of planned activities (includes dining time) on night 1, DHS for the next day, roughly 4-5 hours of planned activities (again includes dining time) on night 2, and check out the next morning. I will note that it does seem you may be able to do a couple of activities on the ship during the daytime.
Again, I'm just trying to be realistic and I am happy I have a reservation, but does anyone else have similar thoughts? I was expecting more for what is being charged here. Just my opinion.
Eagerly awaiting reviews!
I also think the reason there is confusion over getting priority access to Oga's, Savi's etc is because Disney did not consider that any of you would be doing any of those things during this particular experience. Your time on Batuu is pretty limited so I think they were planning to fill that with story moments, but are now considering if they should be turning you away from anywhere where you might spend more $$$. I think the plan all along was that you'd do those things on a day before or after Star Cruiser. However, I agree giving some priority access at those times should be a given.
I think having an emergency nighttime mission to Batuu after closing would be amazing and exactly the kind of thing you should be getting for this price. I hope Disney is in here taking notes.
