Star Tours 2.0

[tinkerbell of winter]

According to the D23 web site:

08.17.09 — Star Wars Rumor Control!
In response to inquiries from Star Wars fan sites about Storm Troopers at the D23 Expo, D23 issues the following statement: "We were contacted by the Galactic Empire and have been advised that Imperial dignitaries will be attending Disney's D23 Expo," said Steven Clark, head of D23. "As a result, a legion of Storm Troopers from the 501st Battalion will be patrolling the Anaheim Convention Center on Saturday, September 12."

Rumors indicate that there will be some sort of announcement during the Disney Parks presentation at the D23 Expo that involves Star Wars. The two most likely possibilities are: holding the next Star Wars Celebration in Orlando or the announcement of Star Tours 2.0.

I hope it's Star Tours 2.0.

I'd go for C5 in Orlando, that would be sweeeeeeeeeeet

So will this news have any bearing on Star Wars Weekends 2010? Will they still hold them next year? We've been planning a trip for May or June 2010, taking our DS5 who is a SW fanatic. He'll be SO disappointed if they cancel the weekends next year due to getting things ready to close then re-open in 2011.

Since they announced the closure as being October 2010...I assume that means next years SWW are safe. My guess is they would be shooting to reopen by SWW 2011...but they might cancel them that year...or they might just run them anyways. If it bring a lot of people in, why not still do it.
