\"DP-0212\"<\/a>I have to confess to being a little distracted lately. \u00a0While working on my own Facebook page that relates to this site, I have also gotten absorbed in a few other Facebook Disney fan pages. \u00a0There are a lot of fan pages out there, but I have been actively participating in the Vintage Disneyland<\/a>, Disney History Institute<\/a> and Walt Disney Family Museum<\/a> pages. \u00a0These are great pages and there is an active following on each. \u00a0So…check them out. \u00a0If you like what this blog is offering, you will like these Facebook communities as well.<\/p>\n

My other distraction lately has been playing the Lego Star Wars video game with my eight year old! \u00a0He loves it…and when we are not playing baseball, or playing with \"DP-0215\"<\/a>a recently revived slot car set…we will spend (waste?) some time playing Lego Star Wars. \u00a0In 1977, the year Star Wars came out, I was 10. \u00a0I can’t imagine being a more perfect age in order to be completely swept away by that fantastical world! \u00a0As you might expect…I was swept away, to some degree. \u00a0I was a card carrying member of the Star Wars fan club in 1978…and I still have the card to prove it! \u00a0But that is another story.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, the Star Wars phenomenon swept over a lot of other folks too…and not least of all the folks at Disney. \u00a0Star Tours<\/em>, the first non-Disney themed ride to appear at Disneyland, opened in January, 1987 (only 10 years after the release of the original movie). \u00a0It was a \"DP-0216\"<\/a>huge success, and the same ride was installed at Tokyo Disneyland, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and\u00a0Disneyland Paris. \u00a0These cards I show here are from Disneyland Paris (aka Euro Disney when the cards were published). \u00a0They\u00a0are part of a set of six cards that can all be seen in the checklist database. \u00a0They number from 00108-00200 thru 00108-00205. \u00a0I have cataloged them as DP-0212 thru DP-0217.<\/p>\n

The only original Star Tours<\/em> ride still operating is in Disneyland Paris. \u00a0The other parks have all converted to the equally successful Star Tours – The Adventures Continue<\/em>. \u00a0And as you are no doubt aware, after a long association with Lucasfilm, Disney bought the Star Wars franchise in October of 2012. \u00a0So…here’s to more interesting and fun adventures in the Star Wars universe to come. \u00a0Who knows…maybe we’ll get a few new post cards to boot!<\/p>\n

Until next time…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
