For those of you who haven’t made it to the parks for a visit yet, here is a look at the X-Wing starfighter that I teased you about. I hate to state the obvious, but it really is out of this world! If you’re on planetary patrol and keeping tabs on all things Star Tours, then be prepared to get on board because these are definite ‘must haves’ that you won’t want to miss.

Racing into Disney Parks – ‘Cars 2’ Merchandise

Yet I won’t have to wait that long to experience “Cars,” especially with the Downtown Disney Car Masters Weekend coming up on May 13-15.
