Something new for Star Wars fans!

[pbensur]

The Once Upon A Toy store at Downtown Disney has a new interactive area for Star Wars fans - a "Build Your Own Lightsaber" kiosk!

The experience takes guests through nine steps in which they choose every part of their lightsaber, including the color of the blade, sleeve rings, hilt sleeves and ignition switches.

Each lightsaber features authentic Star Wars sound effects, and guests can select colored crystals and filters to cast the legendary glow of the lightsaber blade (purple, green, red or blue).

Once complete, guests proceed to the checkout where they receive batteries to power up their creation and a store-exclusive Jedi or Sith pin. Each completed lightsaber is $19.95.

Also at Downtown Disney, for Star Wars fans, there is new US Post Office mailbox outside the World of Disney store, in the style of R2D2. We just walked past it tonight, and noticed it.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Star Wars, the USPS has had these Star Wars mailbox designed, you can also get stamps and a whole host of other things during the promotion.

I'll try and take a photo of it next time we're there.

May the force be with you [msnwink]

We attempted to build our own lightsabre in February, must admit we gave up in the end and just bought a packaged one - there was no one available to help and the directions were not easy to follow - this from someone who is very good at building MFI and Ikea furniture.

Just laughing at this as my younger sister is out in Florida with her partner who are going to Down Town today and I could just see his face when he finds this. [msnsmile2] As he loves anything to do with Star Wars. The last time they were there During Star Wars week he stood for an hour waiting to get pics with the Dark Lord himself.[msnsmile2]
