Jedi Training

One of our favorite things at the parks was the Jedi Training at Hollywood Studios. Ollie and Lily both did it and absolutely LOVED it. First they give all the kids a brown robe and light sabers. They teach them how to open the light saber (hard for Lily) and then they learn a little routine to do to defend themselves. Then Darth Vader comes out... The kids all take turns fighting him. It was super fun to watch! Ollie really got into it. After he defeated Darth Vader the storm troopers started to advance on him and he had to use the force to push them back. He really got into it. :) Lily was not at all scared (some kids were) to face Darth Vader. She just walked right up to him and got ready to hit him. There was one part of the routine where they were supposed to duck down to be under Darth Vader's light saber. The padowan (sp???) who was teaching them told her to duck down and then said, "Probably not necessary." It made us all laugh. :) I think the kids will remember this for a long time. I totally recommend this to anyone going...

Here's Ollie telling about his experience:
