Just picture the scene – you’re 8 years old, and you’re itching to visit Disneyland and ride on Star Tours, but instead of doing that your Dad does something even better; he brings Star Tours to you. Check out this magical video of a home made ride experience that literally takes this 8 year old kid to the moon and back.
This is a homemade Disneyland Star Tours attraction built for my daughter’s Disneyland themed birthday party at our house.
It’s the original 1987 version of Star Tours featuring the glorious Paul Reubens (Pee-wee Herman) as the rookie pilot Capt. Rex. It’s his first flight and he’s still getting used to his programming.
Back in the fall of 2019 my daughter Indy requested a Disneyland themed party at our house for her birthday in April. We built a couple of attractions for it but due to Covid when her birthday came around we had to shelve everything and postpone the party until 2021.
This past April, a full year and a half after she made the initial request we were finally able to do Disneyland at home for Indy’s birthday. This is the Star Tours portion of the party.
Han Solo, Princess Leia and Darth Vader were played by our good friends Mike Capes, Grace Demarco and Matthew Dawson.

We do not make ANY MONEY in any way from these videos. Not from youtube views or anything else. This party was something fun for our kids and their friends and families to experience, and these subsequent videos were created for those kids and anyone else who might enjoy them. We hope that these videos are viewed by copyright owners as a love letter to Disneyland and to everyone who feels a special connection to that magical place.
