Can I bring toy light sabers into the park?

Will security confiscate our toy light sabers? We'd like to bring them from home and hold them up at the Jedi show. Do you think that would be ok?

We take our light sabers into the park as well as light up twirl lights like they sell on main street for after dark and have never had a problem.

Another good idea is to take glow sticks with you instead of paying higher prices in the parks...you can pick them up at the dollar store and have extras to pass out to the kids around you...spread the magic!

they will be fine! Assuming you bought the $8 ones from Target, they are the exact same ones you could buy for $10 at Star Traders, and they are exactly the kind you use in the Training Academy.

Dizzy, thats such a good idea!!! HOw fun (and sweet) of you! We always have a ton of those kicking around our house, leftovers from birthday parties etc. I never thought to bring them with us.

Now I wonder if I can get them through security at the airport. Think we can take them in our carryons? We won't be checking any luggage.

There's a post about it on the Transportation forum too. IMO they will be fine.

I've read that MCO airport has gotten a bit tweaky about toy guns, but since there's no such thing as a light saber in real life, they can't even get you about them being a replica. They aren't an actual weapon. We've taken up to 3 toy l'sabers in carryon and we've been fine.

We've even carried a Rebel Alliance blaster and a huge shiny silver plastic sword (from BBB's Knight's Package) in our carryon, got a sympathetic, funny, and sweet TSA agent, and got through fine. I would'nt do THAT again, but still, it turned out fine.
