MouseWars - A Voyage That's Out Of This Worl

After more than 25 years as a Disney cast member, I’ve been lucky enough to be part of a dozen opening teams – from Disney’s Art of Animation Resort to the Disney Skyliner – and each one has been a memorable experience. More recently, I’ve been part of the team of cast members and Imagineers working toward the launch of Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, a project that’s been a great mix of excitement, challenge, energy … and a bit of the unknown. See, this is something big. Something super innovative. Something that truly is the first of its kind. And any time you do something for the first time, it can be a little daunting.

Who watched some live streams from the maiden voyage of the Halcyon and it looked like an amazing experience but he’s going to have to save up a lot of vacation dollars to be able to afford a galactic ticket…

Over the many years that I have been a Disney Fan I have met many great Cast Members mostly at the local stores. They were an incredible group of dedicated workers and some really nice people to get to know. They had a children’s story hour on Saturdays, held pin trading nights on Wednesday, and new merchandise shows on Saturday mornings before the “Magic Opening” s. The local Disney fans really miss them since the stores closed.

Sounds like they were really unique retail experiences. Hopefully DIS can figure out something here…

Not unless you can transport to a galaxy far far away from anywhere in the world. The retail opportunities on the Halcyon will be more exclusive than Mickey’s of Glendale!

Who is 42 days away from his cruise and more onboard retail opportunities, and sweating getting COVID-19 at the last minute…
