Three days after every other person on the Internet was posting “May the fourth be with you,” Tokyo Disneyland was flooded with "Star Wars" fans celebrating the grand reopening of Star Tours: the Adventures Continues. The ride offers a 3D "Star Wars" experience with over 50 possible randomly selected story combinations. There’s no greater thrill than feeling as if you are rocketing through space, interacting with familiar Star Wars characters in the third dimension.

But what impressed our reporter the most was the fanfare that day. With around 200 Disney cast members dressed in "Star Wars" costumes and more "Star Wars" merchandise than you can shake a light saber at, Tokyo Disneyland on May 7 was the place to be for "Star Wars" fans.

Darth Vader, Storm Troopers, even Jedi Mickey and Princess Leia Minnie made an appearance during the day, adding to the lively atmosphere. Many park guests were also dressed as Star Wars characters. You could truly feel everyone’s love of "Star Wars."

Coinciding with the reopening of Star Tours, new "Star Wars" goods went on sale. Jedi Knight Mickey Mouse, Princess Leia Minnie Mouse, and R2-D2 Donald Duck were just a few of the many popular Disney characters given a "Star Wars" makeover.

I haven't been for many years but always enjoyed Star Tours. For those not attracted to negative G or being suspended upside down 100 feet up in the air, it's a ride where you know you'll still have your lunch inside you afterwards.
