Walt Disney World is planning for BIG May the 4th crowds at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Earlier today, Disney announced that a Virtual Queue will help manage crowds for this big day.

Light Saber Experience

Star Wars fans still hold out hope for the return of the Jedi Training. Unfortunately, this experience did not return when Walt Disney World reopened in 2020.

Beginning May 4 through May 24, a walk-up light saber training experience will be available for guests ages 10 and under. Younglings can master the way of the force with this immersive experience.

Unfortunately, this will only be offered at Disneyland Paris in Discoveryland. This is pretty frustrating that this experience is not also offered at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at either Walt Disney World or Disneyland.

Could the Jedi Experience return?

Jedi Academy was held at the Temple stage near Star Tours. Previous signage has been removed, and this space is now occasionally used for a PhotoPass experience.

Light saber training experience is available May 4-24, 2025.

Many thought that with the unfortunate demise of Walt Disney World’s Starcruiser that Jedi Training may return. While that did not return soon after, we still hold out hope that a lightsaber training will one day return to Hollywood Studios.

What do you think of this walk-up lightsaber training? Do you hope this will be offered at Disney’s Hollywood Studios? Share your thoughts with us and share this news with your Disney pals.
