The inside poop is that it was overbooked by foreign nationals, and Disney cast members lacked linguists and culture reps up to the challenge.
What?
Disney had no cunning linguists?...................
You mean Michelle Obama?
Me too, one and done.
I think where Disney really mishandled the Star Wars franchise is focusing so much on their movies (7, 8, 9). Most of the older fans (i.e. those with money) have nostalgia for the original and prequel trilogies and the toys, books, comics, video games, and lore from that time. They want to see characters and callbacks to the content they watched and the toys they played with.
That poster above stated it succinctly -- this is actually a pretty big loss for Iger, as Galaxy's Edge was his baby (although Chapek built both of them), traffic peaked and is almost in freefall, and Halcyon was just a staggeringly-dumb idea.
So Iger has papered it over with simultaneous release of "You freaks can stay in Kalifornia." Good luck on your next expansion, Bobalu, or are you going to sell the company and ride the platinum parachute...
Shareholders are not stupid.
They know the details.
The public may buy the excuses but the shareholders won’t......................
Disney’s not what it once was... in so many ways.
I think Lucas sold Star Wars at just the right time.
He knew the franchise would slowly die off.................
How many rooms in that hotel? If it is a custom experience with only a few rooms that makes sense but if it’s more than that then lower the rent and rent it to recover their costs
Disney’s stock price is down close to 2% today. It’s currently trading at $91.86 per share.
Thirty months ago, Disney traded at approximately $180.00 per share. It’s done nothing but fall since then. It’s 52-week low is $84.07 and it may soon return to those levels. The company has made bad decisions time after time and is losing more of its subscribers each month. Most people do not want the product that Disney is currently selling.

“Target Faces Bud Light, Disney-Like ‘Woke’ Backlash, Boycott Calls”
“Like “Lassie” with an airplane.”
LOL!
There are female Wookie’s in Star Wars. Chewbacca is married and with kids, even.
Now, here in “the real world”, we have the former Wookie in Chief, Michael Obama.
LOL!
Disney can stuff some illegal aliens in there. And feed them with leftover cotton candy from the park
The Star Wars hotel is expensive and not worth the money, so it was doomed to close anyway. They are using DeSantis as an excuse, just like the so-called 1 billion they claimed they were going to spend.
That billion dollar move was already going to be cancelled due to continuing losses at Disney for the foreseeable future. They are just using DeSantis as an excuse for their poor business practices.
