Bright Suns Brittany,
Welcome to planDisney! For any true Jedi-in-training, there is no experience more meaningful than traveling to Batuu to build a lightsaber at
Savi’s Workshop – Handbuilt Lightsabers. My saber is one of my most prized possessions, and I would be honored to help you prepare to build yours.
Just as many things are shrouded in mystery about the Force, my answer to this question is not cut and dry. Whether or not you can build a lightsaber during
Disney After Hours at Disney’s Hollywood Studios depends on Savi’s hours of operation. The Gatherers are always trying to avoid detection from Kylo Ren and the First Order, so they may be closed during an After Hours Event. Before you make a reservation for Savi’s, I recommend checking the reservation times carefully. If the shop is open during the event, you will be able to reserve a reservation during that time. Another recommendation I have is to book an earlier reservation. With your ticket, you can enter the park as early as 7 pm, visit Savi’s first, and then spend the rest of the event enjoying the attractions and tasty treats. During regular hours, lines can be pretty long for the attractions at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, so I suggest using the special hours to take advantage of the smaller queues. Also, once it gets dark, head over to the back of Batuu with your shiny new lightsaber and get pictures next to the
Millennium Falcon!
I hope this was helpful, Brittany! Please come back and see us if you need anything else.
Happy Planning and May the Force Be With You,
Ashley F.
