Three questions prompted by our visit on Friday:
1) I finally had a chance to see Jedi Training Academy. I didn't get the cool Jedi Master that some people drool over, but I got an asian guy with a funky British accent instead. It took awhile to get used to the accent, but he turned out to be a lot of fun. He had some great lines both for the kids during the training session and during their battle with Vader. He had some good retorts to Vader as well, but not sure if any of those are scripted since Vader's lines are from a pre-determined selection. We sat at a front table in the back section, so I could see the stage ok, but it was hard to see the younger kids, and I could barely see Darth Maul and really none of the kids fighting him. If you're just a spectator, where's the best place to sit? Or are you pretty much out of luck unless you have a youngling trying to get selected? I just loved seeing the kids with Vader and Maul. The looks on their faces was like seeing young kids with Disney characters. Sheer wonder.
2) I remember that Small World has a lighting around the time it gets dark, kind of like the Main Street tree lighting. However, we were in that area around 10:20pm and noticed that some kind of light show was going on. I've only seen the regular lighting show once, so I'm not positive it's the same thing. Anyone know, and if so, is there a schedule for that? I didn't notice a schedule for the Small World lighting, the tree lighting or the Christmas roundup tree lighting (presuming they're doing a tree lighting again this year).
3) We were in a Main Street shop sometime in the afternoon - maybe 5pm or so, and we noticed that something was going on outside. Apparently, it was something having to do with the castle changing lighting. I noticed some kind of music/singing and snow was falling. Again, how often does this happen and what time? No schedule for this either that I've seen.
Thanks!
