1st part
The first priority once we got through the gates was to try to register the kids for Jedi Training. I had no idea how this worked so we went straight to discoveryland to check it out. It seems that the queue begins to form towards the end of EMH but you would still get a space if not arriving until after 10am I think. We joined the queue at 9.50 ish and sat down to eat our breakfast picnic will we waited. After a while the kids got bored but they were able to go out and play around near the Wall E statue, while I kept our space. I've already explained most of this in my last post. Also while we were waiting Figgy texted me to say she was on her way in and she met us just as we were about to leave the Jedi bit with our tickets for 3pm show.

So the Jedi Training Academy is a show that is on the stage in Videopolis. It is currently on 6 times a day and lasts approx 15 mins. The times are in the program and it is in a mixture of French and English. To watch it I think you just turn up shortly before the show and take a seat (will confirm this tomorrow) However there is an opportunity for children aged 7-12 to also take part in the show and the process for this is more complicated, so I'll try to explain.
There are spaces for 16 children to take part in each show, so a total of 96 per day. The first step is to get a place in the queue early in the morning, outside the old Beta arcade (next to the Cafe Hyperion entrance) We were in this area from around 9.20am this morning and people began joining this queue shortly afterwards. To enter into the queuing enclosure a CM will ask the number and ages of the children wishing to take part, although they did not ask for proof, it may be a good idea to take some if your child might look older/younger than the age limits. You get given a plastic card with a number on and then are asked to wait in that area until 10.45am when the next step happens. from what I could see, at this point it is fine for the children to leave with another adult, as many families were doing this. So just one adult needs to stay until 10.45. When all 96 numbered cards have been given out, no one else is allowed to enter the waiting area.
Second step happens at 10.45 when the doors to Beta Arcade open. I think the children wanting to participate at this point must be present (mine were) although they did not actually state this so maybe they don't. When you go inside, there are 3 podiums and you get called to the next available one. A CM there again asks how old the children are and takes their names, entering it all into a tablet. The adult then has to answer some questions basically confirming that the child is able to follow instructions and isn't likely to freak out at anything mildly scary or dark. They also ask which show you want to be in, allow depending on your place in the queue, some may be already full as its a limit of 16 children at each one, and its first come, first served. Once that's all done they print off a receipt with the child's name printed on and the time, and get told to return 15 minutes before that show. E.g. we chose the 3pm show so had to return at 2.15.
When you go back at that time, first of all you wait in the area outside again for a short while (we got in about 2.30) before the children and 1 adult ONLY are allowed inside. the children are then dressed in their costumes and wait for the Jedi masters to arrive. They then get split into 2 groups of 8, one Jedi Master taking each group. They then put each child on a 'spot' thing on the floor and hand out the light sabres! Next they are taught a series of fairly easy move. Basically its how to switch the light sabre on/off and go left, right, up and down! They also learn how to do a 'using the force' pose. The instruction is in a mixture of French and English but they do ask to start with who speaks which languages and are the Masters are kind and patient with any that don't quite understand.
Then its time for them to lineup ready to go on stage. The adults go too, but then split off to go to the seating area (front few rows are reserved for this) while the children go down in the 2 groups to each side oft he stage and the show begins. The children are placed in identical positions on the stage to the one in the training room, except it's Xes on the floor this time instead of spots. The Jedi Master in the show now starts beginning to train the children, but it is exactly the same routine as in the other room, so it looks like they all 'get it' right away and look brilliant
Finally there is a disturbance in the force and Darth Vader and Stormtroopers arrive. Each child gets to fight Darth in turn, by again using the same routine they have learnt, until he is defeated. After the children leave the stage they are all awarded certificates, and return to their parents with beaming smiles!
Sounds like a lot more standing and waiting than it is at WDW. But it will definitely be worth it as this is a once in a lifetime trip to DLP.
