Star Wars Summer

The Disney Store has scheduled a series of summer events this year. I thought we might try to attend some of them. Today’s scheduled event was Mike Wazowski’s Trivia Challenge from Monsters Inc. So we headed over to try it out.

They had a slight change of plans and the event was Star Wars Story Time. Marina hasn’t had much interest in Star Wars, so I wasn’t sure what she’d think of it. The event was well done. The cast member told the story with special video clips added in. Each child got a mini light saber and they went through training on how to use it. Then they had several chances to use their new skills. The story ended with a medal presentation for the kids.

Each week a special character button is given to the kids who attend. Today was supposed to be Sophia the First, but they hadn’t gotten those, so they got a Marvel button instead. Last week, lanyards to put the buttons on were given out, but they had some left, so Marina got one. She also got last week’s button – Mickey and Minnie. Once she had all her goodies, we headed home. Marina said it was “the best day ever!” We seem to be having a lot of those lately!
