Ive added it to my plans its called star wars galaxy far far away. Its under shows I think instead of attractions Near the bottom of the list if adding to existing plan or 2nd tab at top if creating a new plan

Nothing of value - unopened packs of gum, springs, balls of foil, stickers, paper clips, hair clips have all been suggested to me.

Thanks for the heads up! It shows up on the TP website, but not the app.
You can literally trade anything with the jawas. I brought some stickers, but my father gave them his empty ice cream wrapper! and got a highlighter in exchange. and yes, the highlighter worked.

That’s hysterical!
Totally off topic, but someone said before to bring gems…do you know why?
Because you can “catch” it during PhilharMagic:

Gotcha!
Oh…maybe. We were there in January and so much has already changed.
But, yes, that is the movie inside the Launch Bay. It’s just something I think they’re showing to slow down the pace of people going through the exhibits and m&g. Honestly, it was just 15 minutes worth of people who worked on the films saying how much they love the films! LOL!

Good to know! I’m planning to skip it and go right into the exhibits.
I haven’t seen Path of the Jedi, but by the sound of the TouringPlans description, it’s pretty skippable too, especially if you’ve already seen The Force Awakens (and if you’re a big enough Star Wars fan to inquire specifically about this stuff, then you have):
“Rather than try to recap the plot of all six films, Path of the Jedi takes iconic images and dialogue from the saga and stitches them together thematically, rather than chronologically. If you haven’t already seen all the movies, the result will be visually dazzling but incoherent; for the rest of us, it makes a great memory jog.
The classic footage culminates in the death of Darth Vader, which then segues into the final theatrical trailer for The Force Awakens. The footage from the new film includes glimpses of an aged Han Solo and Princess Leia, alongside the youthful new heroes.”

One of the counter service places has star wars themed food (I forget off-hand which one, sorry) so if your kids like chicken nuggets why not Dark Side chicken and waffles!
Is 6 big enough for Star Tours? (My own kid is a step, so I never learned much about under-10s sorry) If you’re planning that ride consider a couple trips through because it changes.
There’s also the build-your-own lightsaber, it’s a must-have souvenir for Star Wars fans. $25 I think. And I’m not sure if those are at the star wars store in Disney Springs, or at Hollywood Studios, or both? Anyone know more about that?
Thank you for the info!
I would love to know what restaurant that is! My 2yo DS is Star Wars obsessed! At the school fair today, he told a woman his name was Han Solo!!
The make your own Light Saber is also going to be a must!
Thank you for the heads up!
I went and looked - Backlot Express! https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/hollywood-studios/backlot-express/menus/dinner/
Awww tiny lil Han Solo!!! My guy and I are both pretty obsessed too at 40. But I think it’s cool that more kids can have that kind of immersive fun that princess-fans have had.
Awesome! Thanks again for the info! My 6yo DD wants to keep her eye open for a Princess Leia costume!

i was also able to ‘catch’ a gem in the 7 dwarfs mine drain.
i just leaned over toward all the gems in the mine, with it hidden in the palm of my hand. then made a big deal of giving it to my daughter. took 4 seconds

So sweet!
I think that 6 is definitely old enough for Star Tours, unless your child gets easily scared.
Build-your-own lightsaber is at the gift shop by Star Tours, but the line was really long (30 min?) in the afternoon. It’s probably something you should do on the earlier or later side if you’re interested. I don’t know if they also have that at the store in Disney Springs.

There is also a store in Downtown Disney where you can build your own lightsaber. Sorry, I’m blanking on the name but I believe it was the giant toy store. However, when we went to that location, there wasn’t a CM who helped with the lightsaber construction. After my husband helped my 5 year old daughter build hers, he was happy to help 2 other kids build theirs but did eventually have to leave the store. He felt bad that other kids may be building incorrectly and have lightsabers that would never light up. You might have to hunt down a CM for help.
