Title: Jedi Training Academy
Post by: kalelvszod on September 14, 2015, 01:38:05 PM
Hi all,

We will be in Disneyland on the 21st September, I assume it will be quieter then but wanted to know what the current queues are like to get a place in the Jedi Training Academy.  I know some people who were having to queue for 2 hours in the morning to get a place.  I know this was during the busy time but don't want to miss out on this for my son.

The registration starts at 10.45, can people who have been this week let me know what their experience was, how early did they queue, were there spaces left once the queue had gone etc.  As much as I want my son to be able to do this, I also don't want to waste time queuing for no reason.

Thanks,

Kalel

I am also interested in this, so gonna keep an eye on this post. My oldest daughter wants to do it but the middle one has no interest at all. We are not going until January so hoping it will be quiet enough she may stand a chance 😁  hope your son gets to do it 😁

 we were there last Thursday, they asked my sons age, but didn't ask for proof ( he was clearly old enough at 10 though).  I didn't chance it but there were a couple of very small 7 year olds participating if you know what I mean.  can't guess whether their parents had been asked for proof or not......

Hi,

What time did you get there in the morning to queue?  Did it sell out?

Thanks

we actually asked about queueing just before an evening show started and were told, 'oh we have a space now, would you like it?' really quick and easy, won't always happen, but worth a shot

Good point Polar.  I bet loads of people don't turn up for their booked place.

Hi

We have just got back from disney this last week. I asked where to register and the said to register at show area (videoplolis). I asked what time but they were not specific they asked me what time I'd be in the park and I said we'd be aiming for 8 with our magic hours they said to come here as son as we could. I assumed I'd be queuing untill 10:15 and make sure my little boy would be with me if needed Anyway long story short we managed to get in the park at approx 8:20, my wife and kids queued to meet Donald while I walked on to discovery land. When I got there there was no queue but they were setting up the ropes for a holding area. I asked about registration and they said I could do it there and then but I needed my boy with me. I went back and they were still a way back in the queue for Donald so my wife and youngest stayed in that queue while we went and registered.  There was plenty of spots and we picked the time we wanted and that was it. No queuing or anything. While I was there others registered. We then went back and joined my wife in the queue for Donald.  Basically it was first come first served and no queuing required. I have no idea when or if all spots were filled but would strongly suggest to just go there as soon as you can. In this case if you did have magic hours you could head in the park for 8 register, get in a short character queue, hop on the buzz light year ride then head back for breakfast if you're not normally an early bird.

Interesting. When we went in the summer a long queue had formed by 10am when registration opened.
