Hello there, Ivey,
Welcome to planDisney! I love hearing about when others visit
Savi’s Workshop in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Have you considered which “theme” you’ll follow as you build your lightsaber? You can choose from Peace and Justice, Power and Control, Elemental Nature, or Protection and Defense. You’ll make your choice when you arrive at your reservation, so you still have time to find which one speaks to you.
The lightsaber blade measures 31 inches long, and it is attached to a hilt during your experience. A Cast Member told me that the hilts can vary in length depending on the selections you make, but they are between 10 and 13 inches. The hilt and blade can also be separated after your build if that helps with packing. Each lightsaber also comes with a carrying case. I took a moment to measure the case I had from my lightsaber-building experience, and it was approximately 50 inches in length. The carrying case is somewhat flexible and has excess material on one end, but has padding to protect the blade. To quote Han Solo, “She may not look like much, but she’s got it where it counts, kid.”
The Cast Member also informed me that you can ask to have your lightsaber shipped directly home after you build it. They were not able to give me specifics on pricing but said that you can ask about shipping your lightsaber when you check in to your building experience.
I hope this was helpful, Ivey. I hope you have an amazing experience building your very own lightsaber. Don't forget to stop by the
Milk Stand for a blue or green milk while you're on Batuu! If you have any future questions, please
come visit me again at planDisney.
May the Force be with you,
Kaitlin
