I see they are still trying to sell off those Pirates of the Caribbean Ships prints. You can get them at Disney Character Store(Disney's outlet store) for 99 cents.

Just seen on the news. The Fantasy Land remodel and Star Tours 2 in 3D was announced for Walt Disney World! :chew

It showed a Pod Race for Star Tours 2. No date on when Star Tours 1 will close down.

I just came back from D23, some good stuff, some great stuff, and some underwhelming stuff...
I went there with Incurable Collector, and Ill never showed up...

We saw an Imagineer panel, that was pretty cool...
also we were at the Future of Disney Parks panel,
they are making some awesome stuff but for the park in Hong Kong
Also new Disney cruises... the only great thing here in Disneyland is the new Cars attraction and the Star Tours 2... which will be...




... Pod Races...
I hope they include spaceships as part of it...
we'll see...
SO that was a little disappointing...

The dealers floor was meh... I don't know, it was OK I guess...
not sure if it's worth 4 days...
I guess the cools stuff was yesterday
here are some highlights of what happened on Friday:

Did you get to see Captain EO's costume?

Did you get to see Captain EO's costume?

Sure did!!
No pics allowed though...
They also had the Tron and Rocketeer they had at ComicCon,
as well as 1:1 V.I.N.... Vincent from Black Hole...
Jack Sparrow's costume and some other cool things...

Another cool thing about the convention was the Upcoming projects exhibits...
where Wall-E was as well as models of the Cruises, and Hong Kong projects...
though I wanted to see more...

 

[Aerosmith]

Glad you got to see it. I hope they have Wall-E in the parks soon.

You guys out in Anaheim are lucky to have easy access to all this Disneyana. It's a far fly from where I live but was in LA/Anaheim 5 months ago and loved it there.

Early reports have it closing right after Star Wars Weekends next year and staying closed until the following Star Wars Weekends. Although others are predicting that it'll close before that on the west coast and open earlier since there isn't an event tied to it.

I wouldn't worry about the Podracing...I posted info in the Star Tours 2 thread that should put you at ease.

 

[Captain EO]

Went yesterday! It was pretty decent. I'm sooo glad it wasn't comic-con crowded. It was full enough to not seem empty, but empty enough to not seem crowded lol. Here are some pics I took:

And if you want to see more, you can check out my D23 set on flickr:
