Star Tours 2 Coming To Disneyland In 2011

The long-rumored update to Star Tours is finally official:

In the new 3-D version of the venerable simulator ride, visitors board a Starspeeder and join a high-speed pod race through the desert canyons of Tatooine in a scene from the "Star Wars" movie series.

Awesome, and about damn time - Star Tours has been long in the tooth for a solid decade now. Disneyland and Disney World get the update first; Disneylands Paris and Tokyo are on hold for a bit.

Walt Disney Museum To Open Oct 1

Looks like the Walt Disney Museum in San Francisco is opening on October 1; the official Web site has been updated, and the LA Times Travel Blog has a great summary of what to expect.

Hours are 10AM - 6 PM, Wednesday - Sunday; tickets are $20, and can be bought up to 60 days in advance.

I'm so totally checking this out the next time I'm down in SF.

Way To Go, Richard & Mel!

Richard & Melissa

My good friends Richard and Melissa tied the knot yesterday in a beautiful ceremony at a winery just outside Salem, Oregon. Individually, they're two of my favorite people, but they're unquestionably better together.

Long life and great happiness to the new couple! You guys rock!
