Emily absolutely loves Star Wars.
I believe her love for it began around 6ish and it has yet to stop.
I know nothing about Star Wars, and remember her correcting me several times, that it is not a light “saver” but a light “saber” I think I replied, something like, well, whatever. {cause I’m so grown up and all}
{ Oh, and its “DARTH” Vader not “DARK” Vader }
They have an attraction at Hollywood Studios called Jedi Training where several kids are picked to participate. From the moment we started planning our trip, Emily started talking about how she wanted to do this.
Under the supervision of the Jedi Master, learn and master moves in an easy, step-by-step process that any true Jedi could handle. But be warned: There is a disturbance in the Force. Stormtroopers have been seen in the area, and it is rumored Darth Vader himself could make an appearance. Will you pass the test and defeat the Dark Side in a one-to-one battle for good? May the Force be with you!
As soon as we arrived at Hollywood Studios, David & Emily headed over to wait in line. At each showing they only pick out 15 kids, they were hoping to get in line early. Which they did. They were not sure if they would pick the first 15 or pick 15 randomly out of the group.
While they waited I took Sarah and Audrey around for more autographs.
We called and David told us she was picked,
We were so excited for her.
What made this day even more special, was that it was also her 11th birthday.
She did not stop smiling. I think she even fell asleep with a smile on her face.
going through training
more training
the enemy arrives and tries to convince them to come to the dark side.
when they do not give in……the fight begins
after everyone defeats Darth Vader he finally gives up and leaves
leaving his Stormtroopers behind
This was such a fun day for us! One that will not soon be forgotten. I’m so glad that Emily had the opportunity to do this.
Here is the video. Darth Vader comes out at 4:23 and take note at 5:41 Darth Vader makes a fist at Sarah.
And she did that same move all day long.
I am me plain & simple
I’m sure that made her birthday even more special!! We love everything about Disney!! You are certainly NOT helping my obsession!! My little boy used to call Darth Vader Dark V as well!! Have a great day!!!
Great pictures & video! The smile on her face is just priceless! What a great Birthday to remember! I’ll have to get Sarah to show me that move!
my boys would FLIP OUT over this. and that smile on her face while standing in line is priceless! glad you are feeling better btw.
How special for her!! I, like you, know nothing about Star Wars, but it looks really neat!
YahoO!! How fun!! And on her birthday!! That rocks!! So happy for her!!
Looks like she had a great time!!
Go Jedi!
That’s awesome! What a great birthday. ..I loved the video of her and I will definitely have to get Sarah to show me that move, hee hee.

You can just see on her face how over the top happy she is! What a great experience she’ll remember forever!
That was amazing. Such a great Birthday for her. I know that will be one day she will never forget.
Hope your feeling better and maybe see you on Sunday!
Wow! That could be a highlight of her life, at least the feelings associated with it. That’s parent-of-the-year nomination stuff!
that is awesome! Isn’t it fun to watch something our children have looked forward to turn out just as they imagined or better?!! perfect.
Oh, my gosh! That will be such a memory she’ll never ever forget.
My boys would be so totally jealous!!!!! and happy for her at the same time!
I’ve got an award for you over on my blog, come by to check it out!
May the force be with her, always.
lol lots of of the commentary bloggers write crack me up, every so often i ponder whether they in truth read the information and reports before writing a comment or whether they simply look at the title of the post and craft the first thing that pops into their brain. in any case, it’s good to browse clever commentary from time to time rather than the identical, old post vomit which i oftentimes see on the net i’m off to have fun with a few rounds of facebook poker adios
