Has anyone experienced Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire at Disneyworld, Disneyland, or in London? What did you think?

I just opened this past weekend at Disneyland so I haven't seen it yet.  For $30 per I'll probably do it in the next month or so (maybe on a Sunday).
Tip: buy tix in advance - especially if you want to go on a Friday or Saturday!

We did the experience last Saturday at Disneyland. This is my review. In short, we had a good time. The $30 (more like $32 after fees) per person is a bit steep, but it's worth a one time visit.

Thanks for the review Jun. My daughter and I are planning a day at Disneyland when we come for SDCC & I would love to do this. Do you think I can do this in a wheelchair?

Yes, you definitely can! I saw a review from a person who did it in Orlando while in a wheelchair. The main thing is that she had to wear the 'backpack' on her chest. One of the attendants offered to push her through the attraction so that she wouldn't have to be worried about navigating. She did say that the view was a little 'low', as it was designed for a person standing, but she felt like she had 90% of the experience and that it was well worth it.

Also, look at the sign I posted in my review. It says that they have wheelchair access.

Keep an eye on the ticketing site. They seem to be experimenting with how far out they are offering tickets for purchase. Days fill up quickly, so you'll want to jump on it when you see it available.

Wow I should know better than to use the reader view on my iPhone because I didn’t even see the pictures. Sorry
Thanks for the info, now I just need to stalk the ticket site for my dates.
