Dinner and a Movie
October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 86 °F
The continuous loop of movie previews and commercials are lots of fun to watch. I’ve even seen several of the movies shown here. All of them are silly old science fiction movies but sometimes IRead more
Old Cars
October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 86 °F
The old fashioned looking cars where people sit remind me of the scene at the drive-in from the movie Grease. After eating here, you’ll want to take your car out for the big race at Thunder Road.
At the Drive In
October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 86 °F
The staff didn’t even seem to mind when I set up my tripod to get some long exposure shots. It’s very dark inside this restaurant so using a tripod was really the only way to get any usableRead more
Don’t Look Up
October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
Looking up at the ceiling is the only thing that spoils the illusion of being outside at a drive-in theatre. In all fairness, the restaurant is actually much darker than this and I only got it to lookRead more
In the Dark

This is closer to what it really looks like inside the restaurant. It’s actually even darker than this so that exposed ceiling isn’t going to be an issue for anyone except me.
Bye, Sci-Fi!

It’s nearly time for the Jedi Training Academy show to start so it’s about time for me to get back over there. It’s been great visiting the Sci-Fi Dine-In and being here really made me want toRead more
Walkers

It’s time to head back over to the stage area for the Jedi Training Academy. The show is just about to start!
Jedi Training Academy
October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 84 °F
I made it back just in time! The show is just getting ready to start and I’m in the front row for the performance. This should be good!
Ready to Start
October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 84 °F
The idea of this show is that these kids are all padawans, Jedi Knights in training, and they have to learn the ways of the force. It’s fun, cute, and always a crowd pleaser.
He’s Really Into It!
October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 84 °F
This kid looks like he really came here to play! His makeup makes him look more like he’s ready to join the Sith than the Jedi though.
The Assistant
October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 84 °F
The trainers assistant for this show looks a lot more friendly and approachable. When working with kids, these are the sort of people that you want.
Darth Vader
October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 84 °F
The show had barely begun when, suddenly, Darth Vader makes an appearance demanding that the children join him in turning to the dark side.
The Duel
October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 82 °F
Of course, none of the kids are willing to follow Darth Vader and join the dark side so each of them must face him in a lightsaber duel.
Facing Darth Vader
October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 82 °F
Just to get an idea of what it’s actually like, here’s a short video clip from one of the earlier shows. It’s a lot of fun and even though it follows a set format the kids are very unpredictableRead more
Lord of the Sith
October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 70 °F
Being able to beat Darth Vader in a lightsaber fight must be so exciting for these kids. I wish that anyone could participate in this show. I’d love for a chance to face Darth Vader in a duel likeRead more
Sore Loser
October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 82 °F
Darth Vader storms off, after each kid beats him in a lightsaber match. Not one person decided to take him up on his offer to join him on the dark side.
The Forgotten
October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 82 °F
In the sense of being a true villain, Darth Vader leaves his stormtroopers behind to face the Jedi Knights. The Jedi, being forgiving sorts, and knowing that anger and vengeance lead to the dark side,Read more
New Jedi Knights
October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 84 °F
With all the Imperial forces gone, the young padawans are promoted to Jedi status as the performance comes to a close. I always enjoy this show. It’s fun, exciting and very entertaining.
I’m Walking
October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 86 °F
By now, I’ve pretty much seen all there is to see in the Star Wars area so it’s time for me to move on and see what else there is to see at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This has been my favoriteRead more
Last Call
October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 82 °F
As I’m walking by Tatooine Traders I can almost hear the store calling me to come back in and do some shopping. I saw a lot of things in there that I wanted but, once I got outside I thought toRead more
Keep Moving!
October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 82 °F
As I’m passing Tatooine Traders I can almost feel myself weakening and going back inside, but no, I kept moving forward. I only got myself one thing there, a beanie baby sized plush Mickey MouseRead more
Ice Cream Planters
October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 82 °F
As soon as I turned the corner, I knew that I was in the Muppets area. Silly sight gags, like this ice cream planter, are all over the place. Most of the people I’m seeing just walk on by andRead more
Fozzie Bear

Right outside the Muppets theater is a great fountain featuring many of the Muppets. Since there’s so many great details to see, I’ll be focusing on them one by one. The first shot is of comedianRead more
