Bright Suns, Emily and welcome to planDisney!
I'm thrilled to be a resource for any intergalactic advice for Disney adventurers, whether you’re
visiting the edge of the galaxy or somewhere closer to home! It sounds like you’re looking forward to a visit to the planet Batuu this month for
a meeting with the Gatherers on Black Spire Outpost who dwell within Savi’s Workshop, and I’m happy to help you with your query about bringing that very special piece of space weaponry home - without needing to complete a smuggler’s run to do so!
Now you’ll be happy to hear that the merchandise Cast Members let me know that you don’t necessarily need to be a
Disney Resort Hotel guest in order to
shop or have the items you’ve purchased shipped to your home address, but they also let me know that there are certain limitations on what can be sent and where. With regards to your handbuilt custom lightsaber, your best bet is to speak directly with the Gatherers or citizens of Batuu who work at Savi’s Workshop who will be processing your transaction prior to your reservation time to confirm the best way for you to send this back home, depending on your plans for the rest of that day - especially if you’ll be venturing “off-planet” to explore the rest of
Disney’s Hollywood Studios. (Obi-Wan Kenobi may find them to be an elegant weapon for a more civilized age, but I prefer to keep my lightsabers safely stored whenever I’m enjoying my favorite rides and attractions in theme parks!)
Just recently our friends at
Disney PhotoPass have
announced that they will begin taking reservations for Capture Your Moment Sessions at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge this month and this could be an excellent way to show off your newest addition to your Star Wars collection in style! My personal tips from my experience this past year are to
book back-to-back Capture Your Moment sessions earlier in the day as soon as they book available and have a few poses and locations in mind, as that session time can go pretty quickly - and this would definitely be a great use of a
Memory Maker purchase! In the meantime, don’t hesitate to
come back to planDisney for any other tips or advice ahead of your upcoming Disney adventures!
However you choose to spend your time on Batuu, may the stars always guide your way.
Prince
