Do we know if there will be a 7:40 Jedi training on May 4? Also, will they light up the sabers then??

 

[hiroMYhero]

The 7:40 session is a standard, regularly scheduled session. The lights on the stage and the sabers should be activated at that time.

Thanks! Will that be the last show that night?

No need to mention it in the reservation, just ask the CM when you get there and the chef will come and talk with you. Here's what they offer. My daughter also has intolerance to gluten, dairy and eggs. All of the offerings are cooked in a separate kitchen and tasted great. You can ask for as many boxes as you'd like

Thanks so much for this and for the great pictures! That's great that they have those available!

More than likely, yes. It's the way they run the sessions with two full casts of CMs.

Sorry been kinda M.I.A. Stephanie had her first High School musical production, they did Beauty and the Beast, it was fantastic, everyone is raving about the show which is great. She was ensemble and has officially told me she want to be a dancer as a career, so now I have 2 performers
Anyways no new info on anything, the schedule for JT still shows 7:40 pm as the last JT for May 4th, I doubt they will add another show after that.

I'm sure that this has been asked, I apologize, I can't seem to find the answer. For Jedi Training, my kids want to battle Darth Vader. How do I ensure that? Thanks.

What is the audience area like for JTA? My kids are interested in watching, but not participating.
Is there anywhere to sit down? Or is it just the type of show where everyone just stands around? My FIL will be with us and I'm not sure if he can stand in one spot for the 25 minutes due to his bad knees. I'm trying to figure out when would be the best time to watch this. Since my kids aren't participating, I'm more flexible with which time we go, I'm just curious what the set up is like...
Any advice? Thanks!

If you watch the show later in the day when Backlot Express isn't busy, you can sit in the patio area and watch from there.

Otherwise, you'd need to stake out a spot as it's standing room only viewing of the show and there will be the families of 30 kids viewing each session.

I booked the symphony in the stars dessert party online but is there a Disney Visa discount? I don't see anything on the visa site, just curious if anyone knows. Are there any discounts for AP or DVC members?

No, I don't believe so.

 

[yulilin3]

No there isn't any discount.
I just came from dhs and the dessert party was only half full, lots of empty tables. The park in general was slow, if you can believe me everyone was sitting down for fireworks, it was the first time I've ever seen that. Sat very close to the stage and even though you had to look almost straight up it was awesome to experience the fireworks with fellow fans sitting next to you

I'm checking the times for JTA for our visit in late May, and there are no times available. There are no times available after May 8th. Is JTA going to be around in May? I hope so!

Everyone, except for the dessert party people, were seated when we went last month too. I thought maybe the CMs had asked people to sit.

they haven't been posted yet but it should be the same times that they are now.

I've never seen that, CM were not asking people to sit. I walked by the dessert party and a couple of people were also sitting, the entire first row of tables (wheelchair tables) were empty so people were just sitting around them. Stephanie got a pic with her phone, as soon as she sends it to me I'll post it here

The first 2 times we went to see the Star Wars fireworks we stood up but the last time everyone was sitting down. That was in mid March.

Hey all just booked our Sept trip this morn. I have two girls 8 and 5 who MUST do JTA. We are planning our DHS day when there is morning EMH so we can hopefully get in the sign up line early. Would you say this is a good strategy?

that's a great strategy, early morning you will have your pick of shows. Just remember to check the weather in case of rain that day and plan around it.

Oh. My. God. Shut up and take my money.

We have the sphero and it's cool and all...but this looks amazing.
