Hollywood studios

Another really early day.  Today it was super important for us to get to the park before it opened. They have an event where kids ages four and up can train to become Jedi's.  It's very popular and it's first come first serve. There are five or six shows throughout the day but from the reviews the shows all filled up.  Each show had 30 young padwans who could be trained. 

Sophia, Christopher and I arrived at the park just before it opened. We were given direction to the sign-up. We made it!  Our show was at 10:40.  

Because it was just the three of us we decided to get some breakfast. We ended up at the Hollywood and vine where Disney Junior characters met us for pictures and small talk. 

We then walked over to the Star Wars launch pad and watched the Storm Troopers march around selectively taking pictures with people.  

 Soon after we met up with Jason and Charlotte. We made our way to where the Jedi training would take place.   Christopher and Sophia were given robes like they wear in the Star Wars films and were given a brief rundown of what would happen.  As a group we made our way to the temple where the training would begin.  The trials of the Temple.

The Jedi trainer called the young Padawans up onto the stage.  He trained them on how to respect the light saber. All of a sudden the doors to this Temple opened and out came Darth Vader and some other character from the new Star Wars movie.  Each little jedi in training had the opportunity to fight the Darkside using 'the force' and their light sabre.

Just when we thought the show was over and the little training Jedi had used the force to get rid of Darth, Darth Maul made an appearance.  He and the trainer put on a spectacular display.

After the show the older two and Jason went on the Star Tours ride.

As Family we went on one of my favourites the Great Movie ride then indulged in pretzels and cheese dip. (Disney staple)

Around 2 pm we shuttled back to the resort for some down time. 

We headed back to the park around 6 pm to see the Indianna Jones stunt spectacular show and then the Fantazmic show with 10,000 other spectators.
