So, uh, Star Tours.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Star Tours is getting the upgrade. Finally.

I am kind of in a funk about it today, not because I don't think it needs an upgrade - quite the contrary. I've been waiting for this a long time...a long time.

We weren't able to be there when they closed it. We didn't have a themed meet, no last ride, no visit to the Jedi Academy to cheer on the 4 year old padawans, no spontaneous saber battles where Cosmic Waves was, no last photos of Threepio yelling at Artoo or that repair droid no one pays attention to anymore.

My cheese is as sad as cheese can be. (My cheese loves the Star Wars of my youth, and as nice as the upgrade could be, this ride is a huge chunk of my Star Wars youth.)

I have no idea what the upgrade entails because missing APness means I'd rather be out of the loop. In any case, what will be will be.

Bye bye, Star Tours. I remember waiting 3 hours for you...and it was worth it.
