Jedi Training sign ups?

[dopeynme]

Hi, all! Can anyone tell me where the sign ups are for Jedi Training Academy this summer? I remember back in Feb they were moving around a bit....

Going in 11 days!

Sign ups are in the ABC-Sounds Dangerous building. They only were held at the gate area for a day or so.

Where exactly is that? I mean, in relation to other things on the park map. Thanks!!!

@andiraye In between the Frozen Sing Along (Hyperion Theater) and the JTA stage. You walk down the walkway near the bronze busts (minus Bill Cosby) heading towárds JTA and Star Tours. Sign-ups are on the right-hand side before you reach the restrooms.

You can't miss it because many others will also be heading there.

Thanks! I found this map on Kenny the Pirate. Is it generally accurate? The entry on his website was a little old and things are changing so much at DHS I want to make sure.

Yes, that map will lead you right there. If you are entering through the main gate, just follow the people running to the left. The people running to the straight and to the right are going to Toy Story. You don't need to run, though, unless you want to be in the first or second show of the day. We were there a few weeks ago and the 11am show got rained out. We went straight back to the building and signed my boys up for an evening show because there were still spaces.

Question on a crowd level of 3, what time do you think they fill up? And if we did want to be a first couple of shows, what time should we be at the gate. Trying to decide what day to do this one.

It will be more direct and faster to walk past Hollywood & Vine and 50's PrimeTime Restaurants
to get to Sounds Dangerous.

1.what time do you think they fill up? And if we did want to be a first couple of shows, what time should we be at the gate.
2. Trying to decide what day to do this one.

1. Sign-ups will likely fill in the first hour.
2. The shows will be full virtually every day.

We were there during a "high" crowd week (mid-July) and at 11:00am, there were still openings for the shows from 5pm on. It probably depends upon the day, though, as I'm sure some do completely fill up earlier. We arrived at the park for an 8am breakfast reservation and there were already people sitting at the gate waiting for a 9am opening. Some of these people were the ones who were in line behind us to sign up for Jedi training, so I'm assuming that is why they arrived so early.

Thanks for all the tips!

We have been there and not been able to get a time slot for 2 boys. So we make sure we are there at opening and are some of those crazy folks running to the left. Depending on the day there is a long line that is cued in front of IJSS all the way back to HWBlvd. It is first come, first served so when they fill up they are done for the day. I have seen them allow kids that are standing around waiting to join in a training when kids do not show up for their allotted time. Do not count on this though. I was extremely disappointed the first year they changed it to this new way of cuing, but now we just make sure we are there before the park opens.
