Any rumors on when the reservations will become available other than “this year?”

I don’t know what will be involved but i suspect you don’t spend much time in the hotel room. It looks as ambitious as ROTR but as a full vacation experience. However, it’ll be awhile before we see if they can pull it off.I’m 50-something fan of original trilogy and love the sequels. Anyway, I’m wondering how this will be better than RotR, which is getting raves and only costs a day ticket. You’re going to sleep for 8 hours.
I‘m just wondering what kind of experience they can have to justify the (rumored) price. The artwork looks like generic sci-fi and not specifically SW. The rooms look fun but not luxurious. How often can you look out the porthole? It looks cool, but I need more details to really feel the force.
Noooo, for that price I can't justify sleeping........You’re going to sleep for 8 hours.
You mean like theme park tickets that give half the day, and the second ticket for the after hours event that starts at 4?This experience sounds amazing, but what good is that if it will be out of reach for most of us?
It's guesstimated the price will be $3500ish per person for the entire experience.As I look at this, it resembles a cruise more than a resort. So my guess is the room rates will be in the range of WDW cruise lines for a verandah/concierge room, so about 500/person/night based on double occupancy, with added kids being half that. So a family of four would be about 1500/night, and the whole "tour" would be about 4500.
I just mentioned in another thread that I think they'll do an Early Morning Magic-type event for Halcyon guests only. So you go to Batuu from 7:30am-9am then go back to the "ship" before other people come.You have to believe if they price it that high EVERYTHING will be included. All food, access to SWGE, etc... just like a cruise.
I really want to know how they will handle going into SWGE. Will they have activities during the day on the ship then departure at night to SWGE? Will people staying at the hotel have their own time in SWGE? If prices are that high I can NOT imagine people waiting hours at time to get onto both rides. They will have to have a special access line just for hotel guests.
Should be interesting as we get closer.....

That would be my guess too -- to keep the experience immersive they have to let you in to Black Spire Outpost when OTHER guests are not there -- so only late night or early morning.I just mentioned in another thread that I think they'll do an Early Morning Magic-type event for Halcyon guests only.

Since you're there 2 days/nights, maybe it'll include 2 trips...it's nice to see Batuu both during the day and night.That would be my guess too -- to keep the experience immersive they have to let you in to Black Spire Outpost when OTHER guests are not there -- so only late night or early morning.
Especially since I doubt they give you access to rest of DHS (again, to keep it immersive)

I dont think they could close it off that early though. Maybe an after hours like 9pm-11pm?I'm betting they do one night excursion - there are no DAH events at Hollywood Studios currently, so it'd be very easy to close off Batuu at 6pm and allow Halcyon guests private access to the land from 7-whenever.
The $3300 per person is in line with what I was thinking price wise. I was thinking it would be along the lines of sailing DCL concierge level. I do think that costumes, food and park visit to GE will be included in the final price. Probably not alcohol, lightsaber, droid, etc.
