Bright Suns, Herman! We are so happy you landed here at planDisney ahead of your travel to Batuu. Let's jump into light speed so you can be ready when those reservations are posted!
I can see that your trip falls over the holiday season, so it's a good idea that you are on the lookout for openings in Savi's schedule! Reservations for
dining and Enchanting Extras like Handbuilt Lightsabers from
Savi's Workshop open up as early as 60 days ahead of time. Traditionally, these will open right at that 60-day mark, but there are times when Savi needs to do inventory or avoid detection from the First Order, so he may need a few extra days before opening up certain dates. If you are hoping to build your lightsaber on December 24th, I would start checking on October 25th. If you don't see the calendar open up, continue to check daily!
Once you arrive, you will want to seek out the "Gatherers" who will usher you in safely. You will have two very important decisions as you build your very own lightsaber. Your first order of business will be to select from one of four hilt themes: Peace and Justice, Power and Control, Elemental Nature, and Protection and Defense. I always recommend to young Padawans that they take a few moments on their way to Batuu to think about their intention and which part of the force they feel most connected to. Once you begin assembling, you will be asked to select the heart of your lightsaber - the kybar crystal! This is another decision you will not want to make lightly and might be good to consider before you arrive. You can choose from Red, Blue, Green, or Violet. Trust your intuition here!
You will soon be entrusted with the force, and will likely have worked up an appetite. With your lightsaber at your side, you can safely roam
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. I highly recommend ducking into
Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo for their seasonal offerings. They are known for their
Cold Brew Black Caf which will give you a caffeinated boost that is out of this world!
Herman, I sure hope this was helpful in your planning! If you have any other questions, you know where to find us here at
planDisney.
May the force be with you,
Tara
