The Void

When you go to Disney Springs or Downtown Disney, which is where you can do shopping or go to many restaurants like the T-Rex Cafe and Rainforest Cafe, you can also go have a unique experience. One of my family’s favorite things to do at Disney Springs in Walt Disney World or Downtown Disney at Disneyland is a one of a kind attraction--The Void. The Void is a VR attraction that uses Oculus equipment to make it look like you are in another world. It is one of the most fun things to do at Disney.
At the time that we went, we were able to choose to do one of two different scenarios. One of them which we have done twice is the Star Wars one. Also, there is a Wreck it Ralph one that we have not done. Occasionally, they change the experience so if neither of these appeal to you, check back for new options.
The Star Wars one is when you go as a stormtrooper and you have to infiltrate a base on the planet Mustafar where you are trying to get a secret weapon that the Empire had found and you are trying to go and get it. You can have at max 4 people in one group so you can do it with family members. They have a full body suit and a headset so when you are hit by a bullet you will feel it. There are moving parts that you will feel but they do not move.
When you get farther into the game you will be able to grab weapons that you will be able to shoot at the storm troopers. You will need to solve a puzzle to make sure that you are up to the challenge and that you are not making the stormtroopers come to your location. If you make them come to your location they will keep coming to your location. You can either go stealthy or you can go guns blazing and make a lot of stormtroopers come and shoot at you.
Near the end you will find the secret weapon and then you will meet Darth Vader, but you will barely escape him. When you try to shoot him, he will block it and then he will break your blaster and then you can not shoot him. You need to work as a team to escape the Empire.
When you get out you will be able to get your score and how many stormtroopers you killed. Also, you can see who is the best shooter in your group. You will be able to get some merchandise if you want. You can also get some pictures of your group. The actual experience will cost but we think that it is worth it. You might have to wait for around an hour because it does take some time to do this attraction. You will need to plan it well if you are going to eat at Disney Springs. It was one of the most fun things that I have ever done.
