Hi, there!
Welcome to planDisney, Desiree. We're so glad you're here! It sounds like you're planning a visit to a galaxy far, far away at
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. How exciting!
My oldest son has high hopes of becoming a Jedi one day, so you can bet he's customized a droid at
Droid Depot and assembled a handbuilt lightsaber at
Savi's Workshop. Both experiences were totally forced-filled! You ask an excellent question. It used to be that Guests booking these experiences only needed to use a credit card to guarantee the reservation at the time of booking. Payment was due upon arrival, and at that time, you could pay for the experience with cash, credit card, or a Disney Gift Card. Unfortunately, the policy has recently changed and now the full payment is due at the time of booking, and even more unfortunately, that payment must be made with a valid, accepted credit card. But not to fret! If you'd like to use a Disney Gift Card to pay for these experiences, you certainly may. Call the
Tours and Recreation line. A friendly Cast Member there can book the experiences for you and process your Disney Gift Card payments over the phone!
If you find that you need to refuel when you're exploring the planet Batuu, head to
Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo. My family and I love the galactic grub at this unique eatery! We especially recommend the Fried Endorian Chicken Tip Yip and the Felucian Kefta and Hummus Garden Spread. Yum!
I hope this was helpful, Desiree. 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.
