Bright Suns Dave,
I’m Ashley, a Human-droid relations specialist for planDisney! Welcome to our little planning nook in the Galaxy.
Savi’s Workshop-Handbuilt Lightsabers is my most favorite experience at Walt Disney World Resort, so I am thrilled to answer your question about it. While I don’t yet have a Droid from the
Droid Depot (I suspect my dog wouldn’t be very kind to one), I do have that experience on my wish list.
Currently, Guests visiting
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge from galaxies far, far away in the United Kingdom must dial 0800 16 90 730 and speak to a Cast Member to make reservations for Savi’s Workshop experience and Droid Depot. Both experiences tend to be super popular, which explains why you may be having difficulties securing a spot at this time. However, as Guests cancel their plans closer to your travel dates to avoid cancellation fees, spots are likely to open up. So I would definitely check back in the days leading up to your trip. I also know that Savi’s, in particular, sometimes has a small number of same-day reservations available, so if you haven’t secured a reservation before your trip, try seeing if there is availability when you get to Batuu. I’ve also heard rumors from some members of the Rebel Alliance that the Droid Depot may also have some walk-up availability. So there is definitely some hope still.
If you need anything, please reach out to us here at planDisney!
‘Til the Spires,
Ashley F.
