More From Disney World

MGM Studios at Disney World has a new Jedi Training Academy show/attraction. Since the kids are such Star Wars fanatics, we were really looking forward to seeing it. We were not disappointed. A "Jedi Master" comes out and picks kids from the audience to attend the Jedi Training Academy. Luckily, both Megan and Declan were picked. It probably helped that they had just both had their faces painted and that Megan was wearing a Jedi Training Academy t-shirt. The kids go up on stage, get a brown Padawan learner robe and a light saber (ironically, just like the ones we have at home). The Jedi Master teaches them some cool light saber moves, and then Darth Vadar comes out with two Storm Troopers. Cool, huh? Each kid gets a chance to battle with Darth Vadar while he tries to get each of them to come to the dark side. It was great! Megan and Declan were both very serious and used their extensive light saber skills to keep Darth Vadar in his place. Megan even got a thumbs up from a Storm Trooper after her encounter. Here's a glimpse at the action.
