Welcome to planDisney, Ellie. I understand the magic in the experience of building your own Lightsaber.
As a fellow U.K. resident, I know we cannot book Enchanting Extras such as the
Savi's Workshop - Handbuilt Lightsabers through the Walt Disney World website or over the U.K. Disney phone number. You can try to use the chat function within the
My Disney Experience App (scroll and open the Chat With Us tab). A helpful Cast Member may be able to book you a spot, subject to availability. Keep in mind that bookings open 60 days before your arrival date.
If you can't make an advanced booking, please know that a limited number of same-day reservations (up to 2 hours in advance) and walk-ins may be available. As planDisney's clever panelist Ashley details,
availability in After Hours Events is not guaranteed.
If you don't secure a spot at Savi's Workshop, please know that you can buy a customised saber at
Tatooine Traders. The Cast Members were engaging and patient with my young padawan. You can choose all the different components of the saber. There are often quieter crowd levels here, and there is no need to prebook.
I feel it forms part of my Jedi duty to recommend the Batuuan Beef and Crispy Topato Stir-fry from
Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo. You can mobile order here, and eating outside in the crumbling marketplace was one of our treasured memories from our last trip.
May the force be with you, Ellie, and watch out for the First Order when wandering around Batuu. We're here to help at planDisney with any other Disney questions.
