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.   Disney on the Cheap - Save some money and get cheap Disney holiday. Learn more about how to compare food, travel, hotel, and ticket costs.
