Disney Charges $5,000 For Star Wars-Inspired Cocktail
It is impossible not to notice that the current inflationary climate has jacked up the prices of nearly everything –
but who is willing to pay $5,000 for a cocktail? $Disney (DIS.US)$ is betting someone with an XL-sized wallet is willing to belly up to the bar for that concoction.
According to a CNBC report, that pricey drink is being served on The Wish, the latest addition to the company's fleet of cruise liners. The Wish has its maiden voyage from Port Canaveral, Florida, to Disney's private Bahamian island Castaway Cay on July14, and the ship offers experiences linked to Disney brands including a "Frozen" sing-along dinner and another dining experience inspired by the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
But it is The Wish's Star Wars-inspired Hyperspace Lounge where the price tag gets interesting. This section of the ship takes the Mos Eisley cantina experience into the Biden-era economy with its $5,000 Kaiburr Crystal drink served in the camtono container favored by the bounty hunters in that galaxy far, far away.
Even if the $5,000 cocktail is just an attention-grabbing publicity stunt, it affirms Disney's increased interest in the luxury travel market.
