Bright Suns, Alison!
Welcome to planDisney! Your journey to a galaxy far, far away is just a few short weeks away. I'm sure your mind is racing at lightspeed as you put the finishing touches on your plans.
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is such an immersive area at
Disney's Hollywood Studios - it's one of our favorites!
When traveling to Batuu, there are several popular activities to enjoy.
Savi's Workshop - Handbuilt Lightsabers and
Droid Depot both offer Guests a chance to create their own keepsake from Star War's: Galaxy's Edge. Unfortunately, these experiences from the
Enchanting Extras Collection cannot be booked until arriving in the United States. While I haven't built a lightsaber at Savi's Workshop yet, I have done Droid Depot with my kids and we were actually able to build two droids as walk-ins. Walk-ins are subject to availability, but you can also try making a reservation as soon as you arrive in the United States or by visiting Savi's Workshop once you arrive at Disney's Hollywood Studios for any same-day reservations that may be available. Additionally, my panelist pals
Louise and
Sue both live in the UK and have previously suggested that an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner based in the U.S. may be able to help you with securing a reservation for this experience.
Alison, if you ask me, no visit to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is complete without also indulging in some of the delicious dining options.
Oga's Cantina is the perfect watering hole for a quick break during your day. The drinks and atmosphere here are both full of fun!
Advanced reservations are available and highly recommended. While light snacks are available to purchase as well, you'll definitely want to plan to grab your meal elsewhere on the planet Batuu. My top choice is
Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo. This Quick-Service location serves up a mix of familiar favorites and out-of-this world dishes. I suggest coming at dinner for a Ronto Wrap and the Crispy Herbed Yuca. Plus, you can enjoy even more time exploring Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge when you use
Mobile Food and Beverage Ordering in your
My Disney Experience Mobile App! It's a great tool to help you save time waiting in line for your food by pre-ordering for pick-up during a designated return time.
I hope this information is helpful and that you enjoy a wonderful visit to Walt Disney World Resort next month! If you have any other questions, please stop by to see us again here at planDisney!
Til the spire!
