It’s not too late for another spin on Star Tours Tue, 17 Aug 2010 Despite what you might have heard, Star Tours isn’t shut down — yet. Yes, yes, there was a “shutdown ceremony” last week during the after-hours Last Tour to Endor event (held in conjunction with Star Wars Celebration V) at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, but let’s just say that was pretend — dramatic license with pyrotechnics. Star Tours is still running at the theme park. The last day for guests to board the long-standing motion-simulator attraction is set for Sept. 7, 2010. I’ve seen other dates floating about out there, including Sept. 8, but the word from Disney World officials yesterday was Sept. 7. Of course, these things have a way of fluxuating, so going sooner is better than later if you’re heart-set on one more ride. To be fair, Last Tour to Endor promotions said the event would let participants be “among the first to be the last” aboard Star Tours. Still, there’s some confusion, even among those attending the ceremony. The Star Tours attraction at both Disney World and Disneyland will be undergoing retooling/re-Imagineering with new story and 3-D effects coming in. They are set to reopen in 2011.   Walt Disney World Tickets - By planning ahead, you won’t have to wait in line to make your purchase at the theme park ticket counter. Planning ahead to get a deal at Disney is a good idea. It is a well-known fact that The Walt Disney Company does things right. And that often means high costs. A vacation to Walt Disney World much more like a week on a cruise ship than it is a night out at the movies.
