Hi all! We are going on our 1st trip to Disney land in august with our boys aged 5 & 9.....my 5yr old is star wars crazy and would love to take part in the jedi training.....dies anyone know how strict they are on age as it's advertised for 7-12yrs......He will be devasyed if his big Bro can do it and he can't!  Any advice greatly appreciated!

They are quite strict about it as I tried to get my  nearly 6 year old daughter in and they said no!
hopefully you will have more luck if he looks older than his age you could try saying he is about to turn 7!

Thankyou for your reply Billy Such a shame the age requirement isn't the same as Disney world! I bet your daughter was upset ! Don't think my little one will pass for nearly 7.....my oldest is 9 but looks so much younger so may have problems getting him through.......may just avoid it......wot they don't know they won't miss hopefully. Do you know if there are star war characters meet and greets?

If you can get them to confidently tell the CMs they are 7 then I think you would be in with a chance... seen younger children blag their way in before!

Thankyou Rebecca!

I don't think there has been star wars meet n greets for quite some time. The last time I met any character from star wars was when the park first opened. Got a great big hug from Chewbacca. He was fab! Darth Vader was walking around 'scaring' people.

Thankyou everyone ! I am learning so much from this forum.....it's fab! Even got myself a ticker if I have done it right

[Dizzymel]

Yay! It worked......just got to place it better next time!

My oldest will be just under 2 month off 7 when we go. He's big for his age and very good at pretending he's still 4 on the bus here so i think he would follow along with saying he's 7. Wondering if we should go for it he would love it.

100% go for it. 2 months off is nothing especially for someone who's tall. If the worst comes to the worst and they ask you to bring ID just don't go back at your time slot!

Just remember to arrive as early as you can, before they even rope off the queue. People are starting to wait during EMH, so you might even have to skip breakfast for a day to even have a chance.

Thanks i'll think we'll go for it, he's just started to get into star wars lately so i think by then he'll be well up for taking part.

Hi!  I am also going in August.  My son would love to participate in JTA.  I am looking for advice on getting him signed up.  The queue starts forming during EMH now?  Does the child have to be present like at Hollywood Studios?  Any advice on the process would be appreciated.  We only have 2 mornings for EMH, so I kind of hate to squander one of them if not needed.
