We are getting to share a VIP tour with some friends (we are covering a DVC Grand Villa for 5 nights, they are paying for a VIP tour for the group), and have decided to use part of our time to have 3 of the kids in the group do Jedi Training. We already have spots reserved for the 3 kids who want to do it (the other two kids in our group both refuse to do it.) We are super excited, as this is likely the only way any of these kids will ever get to participate in this. Does a parent stay with the kids the whole time? Or are the kids actually whisked away for some amount of training where parents cannot go? We're trying to plan the best use of our time with our "plaid" while some of the kids learn to be proper Padawans.
We are actually planning to make two trips this year - one for Spring Break, one in the summer. The trip for Spring Break is with friends, some of whom really don't care much about Star Wars. (We don't get it, but we love them anyway!) They are humoring us by letting some of the kids do Jedi Training (see above), and are willing to do Star Tours and Launch Bay. Should we push them to come back either that night or another night for the Star Wars Nighttime Spectacular? Should we get the Dessert Party? Should we wait until June, when we'll be traveling alone and won't have to worry about friends who may be Star Warsed out? (Will it still be running then?) Is it a cool enough show that non Star Wars geeks would still enjoy it?
How loud does it get? We have group members with sensory issues. They can handle Illuminations finally, but prefer most fireworks from a distance. Does the Dessert Party make it significantly easier to see? Also, my mom can't stand for long, and usually has to find benches all the time or have a ECV to handle WDW. Would she be able to find a place to sit, either with or without the dessert party? Or should she just plan on the ECV if she joins us?
