Today I received emails from two readers, Emma and Tabitha, both asking when Star Tours, located in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, is closing for refurbishment. Both families will be enjoying their first day at Disney World on September 8 and they wanted to know if Star Tours was closing that day or the next day. Good news, Tabitha and Emma, Star Tours will be open that day and close on the 9th. We’re not sure how long it will be closed, but it’s expected to be until 2011. Just so you know, I checked a few sources online and then verified it with Disney, so this should be good information on the dates.
The good news is that you’re visiting during one of the slowest times of the year, so crowds should be manageable. Nonetheless, because it’s the last day for Star Tours before the refurbishment, get there early and expect crowds.
Hope this helps. Thanks for your questions and for reading the site. Here’s wishing both of you and your families and safe and happy vacation.
