Bright Suns, Traveler! (That’s how you’ll be greeted in Batuu, Chloe.)
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios is such an amazing immersive land! I’m sure your Star Wars-loving family will be overwhelmed with all of the super cool details throughout Batuu. And, when you see the Millennium Falcon for the first time, your mind will be blown!
My son is a Star Wars fan, too. He is hoping to experience building his own lightsaber at
Savi’s Workshop on our trip in September. As far as a reservation to build your own galaxy defending weapon, this experience requires a valid credit card when booking up to 60 days prior on the MyDisneyExperience app or website. But, it is fully cancellable until 24 hours prior, so should you decide that you don’t need the reservation, no worries! I believe the card isn’t charged until the experience, if that is a concern.
As far as dining reservations, a valid credit card is also required when reserving your time, but nothing will be charged until the day of your restaurant reservation. These are also fully cancellable up to 24 hours prior, otherwise a $10 per person fee will be charged to the credit card provided. You can currently book your dining reservations up to 60 days prior, and will have to go in for each day of your resort reservation to book dining. This is different than in the past.
I hope you have a wonderful visit to the Walt Disney World Resort! Please come back to planDisney with other questions that arise as you are planning!
Happy Traveling,
Tracy
