It’s Star Tours’ 26th birthday but it doesn’t look a day over a year and a half-ish! To celebrate, the Disney Parks Blog has some fun printouts to build your own Starspeeder!

Disney Parks Blog updated with a preview of the next wave of the popular Star Wars Vinylmation figures.
“Series Two is a limited-release, mystery series, which means there are 11 known figures and one “mystery chaser” figure. Each figure is packaged in a box, so you won’t know which one you will get until you open it.“
There will be a Release & Signing event at D Street, Downtown Disney® District with Disney Design Group Senior Character Artist Casey Jones.

Every now and then you’ll stumble upon something that makes you go “hey cool!”. Well here’s something by artist Eric Walls that might just fall into that category. Walls was an aspiring Imagineer when he built this recreation of the original Star Tours in Disneyland, CA. It was completed in 1989 and measures 19″ in length, 7″ deep, and at its tallest spire is 5.5″.
Check out more of Eric Walls’ fun miniature of Star Tours here or visit his blog for more fun stuff!

Walt Disney’s original Magic Kingdom has turned 57 years old today and what has inspired and delighted back in 1955 has continued to do so in 2012, just as Walt had envisioned.
Instead of doing a retrospective piece, I thought it would be fun to share just a few photographs I took in 2012 because I think the park is as beautiful as ever.
While Disneyland itself didn’t get a big attraction for its 57th, it is getting a little R&R as the massive crowds are now giving its younger sister some attention. Let’s all wish Disneyland a Happy Birthday and we’ll see ya real soon.
Tickets for the upcoming “D23 Presents Treasures of the Walt Disney Archives” exhibit at the Ronald Reagan Library will be available for advance purchase beginning June 26.

The excitement happens on June 15, 2012 and EndorExpress will be there to help celebrate and capture the magic. We’ll be sharing our photos and experience with you so please come back and check out the fun!
June 15, 2012 also marks the day the famous Matterhorn Bobsleds reopens after a lengthy refurbishment. There’s plenty of reason to return to the Disneyland Resort this summer!
One year ago, Star Tours: The Adventures Continue made its debut at Disneyland Park in California, shortly behind Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida. Step back in time with us as we revisit the grand opening of one of our favorite Disney attractions.
