Bright suns, Emily! I am so glad your journey has brought you to planDisney.
Your son must be so excited that he is headed to a galaxy far, far away and stopping in
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. I'm happy to help you secure his time with the Gathers in the Outer Rim. Crafting the weapon of the Jedi is a memorable experience!
Like your son, my boys saved
Disney Gift Cards from family members to build a lightsaber at
Savi's Workshop. As you have found, making a reservation online requires a credit card, but Rebellions are built on hope! You can call
Tours and Recreation (currently 407-939-7529), and Cast Members will be happy to assist with making the reservation and processing the gift card payment.
I recommend keeping the gift card, even if there are no funds left on it. If you need to cancel for any reason, the funds will be refunded to the original form of payment. I also recommend registering the Disney Gift Card. It is a helpful tool for keeping track of balances and consolidating cards (up to $1,000).
I hope your journey to
Walt Disney World is even more fun than traveling the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs! If you have any other questions,
planDisney is always happy to see you in our system.
May the Force be With You!
