A few weeks ago we published the Press Release for the upcoming Xbox 360 Kinect: Disneyland Adventures game. Last week at the D23 Expo I got to see the game first hand. While some information is not being released at this time, what they did show us at the Expo was pretty impressive.
After 7 years, EndorExpress Webmaster Kris returns to Disneyland Paris, to visit his all-time favorite attraction: Star Tours, but in its original French form. He brings us a detailed report, with special inside information coming from Laurent, a show writer at Disneyland Paris Imagineering. Read on to see more about the attraction as well as many more photos from the French version of the Happiest Place on Earth.
A long time ago in a Glendale far, far away…
One of the true highlights at the D23 Expo 2011, for us especially, was The Making of Star Tours: The Adventures Continue, presented by Imagineer Tom Fitzgerald. Much of what was shown to the audience was previously revealed in our interview with Tom back in June but during the presentation there were more details, more stories, and most importantly, more concept art to go along with them. It was a joy to experience the linear backstory of the attraction and for those who weren’t able to attend, we have a summarized version and many of the concept art as well.

Several of the items that were auctioned off at the 2011 D23 Expo Live Auction were on display for guests to view.

Trader Sam’s, the new “Enchanted Tiki Bar”, has been delighting guests at the Disneyland Hotel for months now and for good reason! Not only are the island style food and drink stellar, but there’s enough artifacts and decoration in the place to open up it’s own museum of unique artifacts and antiquities! What strikes our fancy specifically, however are the close ties to the man in the hat himself, Indiana Jones.
This video game looks like a must buy for Disney/Disneyland fans!!
