This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Isn't this basically what that star wars hotel is?

That’s the point. OP is trying to find a way to reduce costs and make it more viable, which could lower the rate for a stay and expand the market for it. Disney’s idea sounded interesting to me, but I don’t have the kind of money they were charging for it. I’m still sorry I missed it.

Isn't this basically a stop on the continuum between visiting Colonial Williamsburg and Westworld depending on the labour used?

On both ends, I always figured there was a narrow market of people who want that level of all-inclusive themed experience. You go to London, you can always break out of the package tour and do something "the locals do".

Im in SoCal I have personally seen people try things the local way and it usually ends with a tour bus worth of old Japanese people with heat and sun stroke. Or a car worth of Scots going local, they were fully embraced by one of the local bars.

Well yeah, a long long time ago.
