Hi! My boys love Star Wars and I was just wondering if anybody knew which show would be the best chance to be picked from the audience to train as a jedi? Thanks!! (and may the force be with you!)
Thanks for the advice! I will definitely try first show and 30min. early. What I want to know is do the parents sit with the kids or do the kids go into some holding pen by themselves? I'm prepping my kids b/c the chances that all three of them will get picked are probably slim - DS5, DS7 and DD8.
In april, they picked 13 kids to come up on the stage. The front part where the kids sit is shaped like a V. They have a line painted that is about 4 feet away from the stage that the kids have to sit behind the line. Put your kid on the line and you can sit behind them. The master jedi started at one end and walked to the other end of the stage, he picked about 6 kids the first pass, then he walked back to the start and and did it again, picking 7 kids in the second pass.
If you want all 3 kids to get picked, you need to space them out around the V. If you stand them all 3 in a row, then odds are only 1 might get picked. He won't pick 3 kids standing next to each other. Try having them be about 5 feet apart on the line. There were a few kids in full jedi robes swinging their light saber in line - he did not pick them. My boy had his cool Darth Maul shirt on, I think that helped. Good luck.
you can find the show times on the Steve Soares website.

this is this week's schedule:
Jedi Training Academy
Taking a cue from the popular Star Wars Saga, the power of the Force and the magic of Disney combine for an original and intergalactic entertainment experience. Young Jedi hopefuls learn lightsaber moves before facing off against the evil Darth Vader. Near Star Tours.
20-minute shows
9:55, 10:50 & 11:45am, 12:40, 1:30, 2:20, 4:05 & 4:50pm
When we went in June there was no mat on the ground, just a line painted on the ground around the stage and the kids were to stand behind the line. My DS and I just stood, the black asphalt was way too hot to sit on. I did stand behind him as more kids showed up to give them a chance to be right upfront.
