Last week,  I reported  that Disney Cruise Line would be hosting Star Wars Day at Sea! As detailed in my Star Wars Day at Sea Coming to Select Disney Cruises! article, these special days will take place aboard the Disney Fantasy cruise ship on select January, February, March and April, 2015 sailings.

Now, I have even more details to share with you!   As was revealed on the DisneyParks Blog today, guests can expect immersive entertainment throughout the special day. Check out these intergalactic highlights that were posted on the DisneyParks Blog: (Excerpt from the DisneyParks Blog post of February 16, 2015).

Force-filled Fun for Everyone

• Darth Vader, Chewbacca, Boba Fett, Stormtroopers and other characters from across the Star Wars galaxy will be onboard for scheduled meet and greets, as well as roaming on deck and elsewhere around the ship. You’re also encouraged to dress up in your own stellar costumes!
• A shipboard version of the popular Jedi Training Academy experience invites young Jedi hopefuls – known as “Padawans” – to learn lightsaber moves from a Jedi Master. They can then use the Force and face off in a final test against the evil Darth Vader.
• Kids and families enjoy friendly competition during Star Wars trivia games, covering fun facts from the film and television sagas.
• For Younglings, Star Wars-themed arts and crafts, games and activities will be offered throughout the day in Oceaneer Club and Oceaneer Lab youth clubs.
• In the evening, adults entering the night club will feel like they stepped into the Mos Eisley cantina scene. Characters and cantina music set the mood as Star Wars-themed specialty cocktails are served.

Film Screenings and Celebrities

• You can watch the first six Star Wars films and follow Darth Vader, Obi Wan Kenobi, Luke and Leia along their epic journey.
• Also showing will be episodes of the new Disney XD animated series, Star Wars Rebels.
• On each of the special sailings, celebrities and insiders from the Star Wars galaxy will share their experiences, meet fans and sign autographs.

Star Wars Deck Party and Fireworks

• There’s intergalactic fun when the Star Wars deck party blasts off to an exciting evening filled with music, dancing and games.
• Star Wars characters converge on the deck stage for a celebration of the Star Wars saga in a show featuring special effects and guest participation.
• The deck party culminates in a spectacular display of themed pyrotechnics, lighting, sound effects, lasers and Star Wars music.

It sounds as if  Star Wars Day at Sea  sailings are going to be out of this world fantastic!  Stay tuned to the Magical Distractions site for the release of any further details.
