Bright suns, Ross, and welcome to planDisney!
Before you know it, you'll be boarding your starship and heading for a galaxy far, far away! You're still a few weeks away from your Walt Disney World vacation - but I promise it will be here at the speed of light! Ross, there are so many incredible, immersive environments in Disney World, but stepping into
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is a truly transportive experience. Whenever I visit Blackspire Outpost, it feels like stepping into a whole new world!
As you may already know, Galaxy's Edge is absolutely filled with unique, out-of-this-world attractions. My family always stops for a snack at
Oga's Cantina, and we never skip
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance! But for many
Star Wars fans, the pièce de résistance of Galaxy's Edge is the build-your-own-lightsaber experience at
Savi's Workshop. This
Enchanting Extra is super popular, so it's great that you've already booked your reservation! You'll have a great time creating and customizing your lightsaber, and you'll walk away with one of Disney World's most stellar souvenirs!
Ross, I totally understand that you'd rather not ship your lightsaber home right away. After all, half the fun is carrying it with you through Blackspire Outpost and using it as a prop for your
Disney PhotoPass photos! Fortunately, I have some good news for you - you do not have to ship your lightsaber home on the same day as your reservation at Savi's.
Instead, you can ship it home whenever you're ready from one of the theme park gift shops or from one of the
Disney Resorts Collection hotel gift shops (available at most, but not all, locations). This is an especially great option if you're anything like me, and like to patronize the gift shops all over Disney World (no matter how hard I try, I never seem to leave enough space in my suitcase to bring all my purchases home!). Most gift shops throughout the Walt Disney World Resort can combine all your new Disney merch and ship it home together all at once (just hang on to those receipts for easier processing!).
I hope this is helpful, Ross, and that your upcoming trip is full of magic and memories! If you have any other planning questions, you know
where to find me right here at planDisney!
May the force be with you,
Allison
