7 Years Of Service

by Kris Van de Sande on August 31, 2009

Welcome dear visitors, to the new EndorExpress.net. Just like Disneyland, a website is never finished, and to follow our tradition and honor the saying, today we’re relaunching our site again.

We have moved the site from the old Joomla system to the best of CMS’s, namely WordPress. Over the last few months the site has being tweaked in content and layout, to give you the best and fastest way on all things Star Tours, Special features, and so much more! Also keep in mind that you can now also comment on news items!

It’s weird to think, just 7 years ago. It was 3 months since Attack Of The Clones was released in the theaters, when I decided to start this website. And here we are now today. On a new system, with more content then ever. And we are not thinking of stopping, au contraire,we are just getting started! With Star Tours 2 coming slowly up, we are going to see quite an amazing time.

Thank You to the crew for sticking around all these years, and of course, you visitors, almost 275.000 of you, since our launch 7 years ago.

Update: Captain EO has now received the green light to return to Tomorrowland, but the timing was too tight to make it by HalloweenTime.
