Hiya Jessica!
Welcome back to planDisney! I just recently helped book
Savi's Workshop-Handbuilt Lightsabers at the Walt Disney World Resort for my brother this past December. It's a great gift for your favorite Star Wars fan and it is a very unique experience.
Now, that wasn't a surprise gift but I did learn some things which I just now confirmed with a Cast Member. If you wish to keep the reservation for this experience under your name and bring your boyfriend with you they will let him experience the activity as a participant while you are his "watcher". To avoid having this reservation on his My Disney Experience Account you must head to your
Family & Friends List and make sure that you change your boyfriend's "Plan and Share" permission to
"View Only Shared Activities." Since his name won't be on the reservation he won't see it.
Make sure you arrive 15 to 20 minutes before your reservation as the Savi Gatherers will need your credit card again and you can begin looking at the available inventory of pieces of a "menu" they can provide you. Once your experience is over make sure to head over
Dok-Ondar's Den of Antiquities which has some additional options for your new lightsaber. Even if you don't need anything more for your lightsaber it's still a very cool shop with lightsaber replicas that can be purchased!
I hope this helps and that you have a wonderful time!
Happy Planning!
