Jedi Training Academy
Is this still a running event on a daily schedule or was this a star wars week end only thing?
First trip 1986 ...
Not enough since then!

Still there!
We were there two weeks ago. I had three kids in the audience. None of them were picked, and they decided not to stay to watch.
-
Both of my kids got picked last October, but just as they were getting started, it began to drizzle, and they had to cancel it. Talk about going from a high to a low...

That is really good news,,, will be a must do for my 2 boys... 5yr and 7yr any recommendations on how to get you kid picked to do the training. Should I have them bring their own light sabers? They sleep with them....

My son tried several times a couple of years ago and was never picked. Then last year, when asked about trying again he said "naw, you don't even get to keep the light saber". I felt bad for him, like he was making an excuse for not trying again for fear of another disappointment. But persistence pays off, I keep telling him.

I tried this last year, DS (6) never got picked, we tried several times, he was incredibly upset. We tried right up until the last day and he actually cried on the bus to the airport and said he really wanted to do it. I felt so bad, I was so hoping he would get picked. They kind of come out and just point and say you you you!
There should come up with something else like numbers or maybe have to pay, that way you don't stand there and just have disappointed children. There were other kids around that left there just crying!
I did tell him that he might not get picked and honestly I was probably part of the problem as I continued to try and really thought at some point he would get picked.

My daughter was almost 5 and my son was almost 12 - they seemed to be the high and low ages, with everyone else in between.

My son got picked the second time around. We stood to the left of the stage (if you are looking at it from the front) because the line is closer to the stage in that area. He also wore his storm trooper shirt and we got there way early and I stood for an hour to save his spot. If you stand directly in front, the Jedi Master has to look farther into the audience to see you because of the lower stage spots in front of him.
Good Luck....I hope your son gets picked...that was the highlight of my son's trip, and to see his face up there smiling from ear to ear, it was priceless.

It's fun to watch because anything can happen when kids are involved. In the show we saw a kid clocked the Dark One right in the head. Let's just say Lord Vader was not amused.

My son was chosen our first try last year. I think that fact that we went to the training academy while everyone and their mother headed over to TSMM to grab FPs helped, there were only a couple of dozen children in the Padawan pool.

It seems to be totally random who gets picked. Both grandkids got picked the first time we saw the show. One was 10 and the other was 7.
It seems like there should be a better way to select the kids. Perhaps a reservation system where they sign up for a certain show time. That could eliminate the disappointment of not getting picked.
