My daughter, Kristin,and her family are huge Star Wars fans, and especially love everything Darth Vader. So when her family decided to go to Walt Disney World with us on our last trip, we knew that we had to get the kids signed up for the Jedi Training Academy. The morning we were doing Hollywood Studios and wanted the kids to do the Academy, Kristin and the kids arrived at the park for rope drop and headed straight for the Jedi Training Academy. The spots fill up quickly, and there was quite a line already. But they were registered and given a time to return. They took a Memory Maker photo op with the speeders in the Star Wars area, and toured the park while waiting for their return time.
When they returned at their given time, they were fitted for Jedi robes, and then marched as a group to the stage. There they were introduced to the Jedi Master, who presented them with their light sabers and instructed on how to use them. Each trainee was given the opportunity to practice with the master. You have to be 4 years old to participate, and Jake had turned 4 only five days before. He had a little trouble with his light saber getting stuck, and in this photo the Master is asking him if Mommy had instructed him to say he was four. Jake told him that he had just had a birthday. After practicing with the Master, each trainee was given the opportunity to battle Darth Vader. Here is Izzy "taking down" Darth Vader.
The kids had a great time, and Kristin commented that she wished she could have participated. Jake still talks about fighting Darth Vader. With the Memory Package, you have the opportunity to take your photos and add borders. I made Star Wars cards for both the kids.
If you are looking for something special for your kids to do in Hollywood Studios, check out the Jedi Training Academy. You will have a great memory, and so will the kids.
