Hi Karen!
I'm happy to offer ideas for an unforgettable experience in a galaxy far, far away!
As you know, a section of the Disneyland Resort is currently under construction for the new Star Wars Land, opening in 2019. In the meantime, Star Wars loving Jedis like your son can have an out-of-this-world experience with the many Star Wars themed attractions and activities currently available.
Here's what I would do to give him an epic birthday celebration:
* Arrive at the Disneyland Park early to pick up a Birthday button at City Hall located right as you enter Main Street U.S.A. From there, head straight to Tomorrowland to sign up for
Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple. Registration is on a first come, first served basis and slots fill up quickly since so many younglings are eager to defeat the Dark Side!
* After that, enjoy the various Star Wars-Themed attractions, including
Star Wars Launch Bay, where your son can take a birthday photo with Storm Troopers and even catch Darth Vader or Chewbacca!
* Upon completing Jedi Training, enjoy a delicious Star Wars-themed lunch at the
Galactic Grill currently serving such things as Han Burgers and Jedi Order Chicken Sandwiches!
Make sure you venture out to other lands before returning in the evening for a unique offering that will be debuting on May 26:
Tomorrowland Skyline Lounge Experience (separate ticket required) where you can enjoy sweet treats from the balcony lounge of Tomorrowland Expo Center while watching the Fireworks!
May the Force be With You!
