In my house there are Star Wars: movies, video games, clothing, books, toys of every kind (stuffed animals, costumes, lightsabers, lego, transformers etc), bedroom decor (wall stickers, lightsaber lamp, piggy banks, tins, posters etc), and even spatulas and pancake molds.
Not a day goes by where the kids don't dress up and chase each other around the house with lightsabers. And more often than not my husband is also in on the action (sans costume).
That's why Disney's Hollywood Studios in Orlando Florida was our first stop on our Disney vacation. From the Star Tours ride, to the Tatooine gift shop, to the Jedi Training experience, my Star Wars family has enough memories to last us a lifetime, including this family photo we had done:
We rode the Star Tours ride three times, which also meant that we visited the Tatooine gift shop three times. (Every ride at Disney drops you off inside a gift shop). The kids were able to build their own lightsabers in the gift shop for only $21. They even light up and make the cool lightsaber sounds.
DeAndre's lightsaber
Dorian's lightsaber
But by far, the best experience they had was being a part of the Jedi Training Show in front of an audience. At the end they received a certificate declaring them official Padawans which we framed and hung up in their Star Wars bedrooms.
Without further ado, I present to you my little Padawans in action.
DeAndre is the one with the green lightsaber in the back right, and Dorian is the one in the front on the left. You can see DeAndre attack Darth Vadar at 9:16 and Dorian attacks him at 11:00 in.
