Bright Suns, Tracy! I'm so glad you've stopped by planDisney with your question.
I love the idea of celebrating your grandson's birthday with a custom-built lightsaber experience at
Savi's Workshop - Handbuilt Lightsabers. We recently took my nephew for his birthday and I'd like to think it was the highlight of all of our experiences! At this time,
Enchanting Extras like a booking at Savi's Workshop may be made 60 days in advance of your visit. So, if you're hoping to book for October 31, I would check back on the
reservation calendar or after September 1. You'll want to note that a valid credit card is required to hold the reservation, but it will only be charged in the event that you do not arrive for your reservation, per the cancellation policy. Also, keep in mind that each person building a lightsaber will need their own reservation, but each builder may bring up to 2 Guests, each!
One more suggestion for you and your grandson, Tracy. While you are exploring around Black Spire Outpost, you can search for bounties behind secret doors in a thrilling scavenging mission using your
MagicBand+. Once you arrive in
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, you can use the
Play Disney app to get started with
Star Wars: Batuu Bounty Hunters. It is a really fun, unique experience and always a highlight for everyone in our travel party, no matter their age! My friend and
fellow panelist, Al is a bounty hunting expert and has shared his best tips and advice for this exciting new interactive feature!
I hope these are some helpful recommendations, Tracy. If we can offer any other guidance as you are planning your next trip, please come back and see us again, here at
planDisney!
'Til the Spires!
