Hi, there!
Or rather, Bright Suns, Hunter! It sounds like you're planning an out-of-this-world adventure at
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. How exciting!
Building a custom lightsaber at
Savi's Workshop is truly a Jedi-worthy experience. With the help of the Gatherers, my oldest Padawan carefully chose his path and pieced together his lightsaber a few years ago, and he loved every moment. He had diligently saved a Disney Gift Card and some summer earnings to pay for the experience, and knowing he had paid for it himself made the lightsaber extra special. At the time, he was able to pay with the Disney Gift Card and cash upon checking in at Savi's Workshop. Unfortunately, that is no longer an option as pre-payment is currently a requirement for booking. And to answer your question, no, a Disney Gift Card is not accepted as a pre-payment option. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news! The good news is that the
Disney Gift Cards that you have on had can be used almost everywhere at the Walt Disney World Resort. You can even use them to make payments towards anything you've charged to your room folio at your Disney Resort hotel! They certainly won't go to waste.
While you're exploring the remote planet Batuu, be sure to refuel at
Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo. My family loves the Endorian Fried Chicken Tip Yip at this galactic eatery. Yum!
I hope this was helpful, Hunter. Please let us know if you have any other questions about your Walt Disney World Resort vacation! We'd love to help you plan a magical stay.
