Pinocchio and Friends at the Park!

The Disney Parks blog posted an incredible photo of Pinocchio and his supporting cast at the Magic Kingdom of Walt Disney World.

What a unique opportunity to see these rare characters from Walt Disney’s classic film!  I wish Stromboli and Lampwick still walked around the parks!

25 Years of Star Tours

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the popular Disneyland attraction Star Tours.

Below is a fan tribute video of the original Star Tours attraction created in computer graphics to every last detail.  It’s a job well done!

Some Star Tours Facts:

Star Tours opened in January 1987, replacing another popular Disneyland attraction: Adventure Thru Inner Space.

The Mighty Microscope from Adventure Thru Inner Space can be found in the Star Tours video.

Star Tours quickly become one of Disney’s most popular attractions and versions were added to Walt Disney World, Tokyo Disneyland, and Disneyland Paris.

The voice of Captain Rex is provided by Paul Reubens aka Pee-wee Herman!

In 2011, a new version of Star Tours opened with new destinations, updated effects, and 3D.

Look for hidden Disney and Star Wars references in the luggage which a robot is inspecting in the newly updated queue.

Happy Anniversary Star Tours!
