A Disney Magic Moment

In Disneyland they had a show called Jedi Training. When we were there the first day we found out that it was kids getting picked from the audience to train against Darth Maul and Darth Vader. Well, of course we had to get in on that!! I upped our chances by having my boys wear their matching Star Wars T-Shirts and we got to the stage in plenty of time to sit up on the front row. And lo and behold...my boys were picked!!

Each child was given a cape to wear and then trained in the ways of using a light saber. Then one by one they were called on to fight their opponent.

Jagger was super stoked...BIG STAR WARS FAN HERE!!

James was pretty excited too...he loves to have an audience!

James was chosen to fight Darth Maul. And what a fight it was!


Jagger, I think in part because of his Birthday Pin, was chosen to get up on stage to fight Darth Vader.


Each of the children was given a certificate of completion that I will definitely frame and hang.

Jagger had birthday money to spend and right after the Jedi Training he knew he just HAD to go to the Star Wars store and build himself a double light saber.

And here is a video of Jagger fighting Darth Vader.


This was most certainly a highlight of the Disney vacation. There is nothing more magical than watching your child get to participate in something they think only dreams are made of. I was so proud of both my boys today!!
