If you happen to take a Disney Cruise later this year, your kids are in for a treat: while you're laying out in the sun drinking cocktails with umbrellas in them, your children get to become pilots on Star Wars' Millennium Falcon, just like Han Solo and Chewbacca.
That's right, Disney plans on transforming the Disney's Oceaneer Club on its Disney Dream ship into the interior of the Millennium Falcon.
"Upon entering the spaceship, younglings will join the Rebel Alliance in the epic battle of good versus evil by assisting with the navigation of this powerful space vehicle," writes the Disney Cruise Line on its blog. "Sitting in the cockpit, children can pilot this super-cool spaceship through hyperspace and trigger lightspeed jumps to different locations around the galaxy."
Children can also take part in Star Wars-themed games, crafts and activities, as well as watch episodes of Star Wars Rebels on a large screen. The cruise line is also bringing the Jedi Training Academy from Disney Parks to the ship: an interactive experience that pits your young padawans against Darth Vader.
That sounds awesome, right? There's just one catch: the Disney's Oceaneer Club is only for children ages three to 12.
If you want your kids playing in the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon, you can book your cruise now for any sailing on Disney Dream after October 26 for three- and four-night cruises from Port Canaveral, Florida to the Bahamas.
Don't worry, adults: Disney hasn't forgotten about you. Disney Cruise Line already announced earlier this year that it plans on offering a "Star Wars Day at Sea" during many of its voyages on the Disney Fantasy ship. This family-friendly event is a one-day celebration of all things Star Wars, including a deck party, interactions with characters from Star Wars and screenings of all six Star Wars movies.
There's also the adults-only Mos Eisley cantina, which will feature characters and music from the world of Star Wars.
The "Star Wars Day at Sea" begins on Disney Fantasy in 2016 for seven-night cruises from Port Canaveral to Cozumel, Mexico and the Bahamas.
