Anyone here follow that Disneyland influencer Hey Brickey!? He used to haunt Twitter like it was his full-time job, but now he’s migrated to YouTube, where the algorithm apparently rewards excessive enthusiasm and ring lights. Anyway, his latest hot take is that Disney might be thinking about axing Star Tours [hit link]. Yes, really. Cue the pearl-clutching and vague threats of annual pass cancellations. My 2 cents: The blogs, the tweets, the breathless speculation—as if Galaxy’s Edge didn’t just waltz in like a nouveau riche neighbor with no taste and too much square footage. Please. I get it. Disney has the money and a Millennium Falcon, but do they care?! Let’s get one thing straight: unless one is on the Disney payroll or wear a blazer with “Imagineering” stitched above the pocket, maybe sit this one out. Here’s what matters: Disneyland. Not Florida. Not Paris. Not even some vaguely depressing cruise ship with Goofy in a tux. Disneyland. The real one. The original. The sacred 714… if they even think about bulldozing Star Tours, I swear to you, it won’t be a closure—it’ll be a crime. A cultural erasure. The architectural equivalent of burning a first edition Hemingway. But, the Magic Kingdom is getting rid of Rivers of America. Still, let’s not forget, this attraction where it calls home (Tomorrowland) hasn’t had any meaningful work done since 1998—and even that was like putting concealer on a statue. The structures? Pure 1966 (except Space Mountain). Which in Disney
Star Wars Celebration (the official fan con) is currently going on over in Japan. During one of the panels they gave a few more details about the updates coming next May when the Mandalorian film releases. Via Disney Parks Blog: Starting May 22, 2026 at Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run will allow guests to control the iconic ship like never before. For the first time ever, the crew will be in control of their own destination, leading to potential adventures on Bespin, the wreckage of the second Death Star around Endor, or the just-announced bustling city-planet, Coruscant. Another new gameplay addition allows the engineer positions to communicate with Grogu during the mission. Sounds like it’ll be like a Star Tours/Horizons mashup where you choose a path midway through the ride. That sounds pretty good to me, frankly this sounds like a much better use of the ride mechanics than the original coaxium mission. That for some reason pulled Corellia from Solo, which itself was not exactly the best received movie. I know some folks still are puzzled by Hondo’s presence, but as a SW animation fan, glad to see he will still feature in the new story. I also like that in addition to the two original trilogy locations, they’ve included Coruscant from the prequels, and the Death Star wreckage from the sequel that shall not be named. I could do without Grogu personally, but sure why

According to the recently filed permits for the long awaited Porto’s, Disney will be demolishing both Ticket Booths #7 & 8, along with the former La Brea Bakery building for the new location. [Sandwich of Earl will move to a new building next to the Disneyland Hotel] Ticket Booth’s 7 & 8 are located just Northwest of DCA’s entrance. Ticket Booths #1-8 were built about 25 years ago during the DLR Expansion of the 90s-Early 2000s. The curremt booths are the 4th iteration for the Resort (more history info on the booths will be in subsequent post). I can’t help but wonder with Ticket Sales being shifted online, if Disney will shuttered more of them in the future. Specially with DisneylandFoward in the pipeline Your guesses?
