Welcome to planDisney, Phil!
I’m excited to hear about your upcoming visit to the
Walt Disney World Resort and
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disney's Hollywood Studios! Constructing your lightsaber at Savi’s Workshop is an unforgettable experience, and I can understand wanting to ensure your new creation arrives safely back home to the UK.
While
Savi’s Workshop does not offer direct shipping for handbuilt lightsabers, several convenient options are available to help you get your new gear home. Disney’s Contemporary Resort and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa offer packaging and shipping services through their
Business Centers. For an additional fee, you can safely send your lightsaber and other souvenirs directly from these locations.
If you are staying at a
Disney Resort Collection hotel, some locations offer the option to ship pre-packaged and pre-labeled items from the front desk or concierge desk. It’s a great way to send home your lightsaber or any other keepsakes without the hassle of carrying them through the parks.
You can visit the Guest Relations Shipping Station in the Marketplace between Once Upon a Toy and Tren-D at
Disney Springs. They can help you package and ship your items home. Their hours are 10 AM to 11 PM from Sunday to Thursday and 10 AM to 11:30 PM on Fridays and Saturdays. Be sure to double-check the hours when you visit, as they may change.
It might also be worthwhile to check with your airline about the cost of adding an extra checked bag on your flight home. Packing a small, collapsible duffle bag in your luggage is an excellent idea if you anticipate bringing home a few additional souvenirs, including your lightsaber. This way, you can securely pack it and avoid any shipping fees.
I hope these options help ensure that your lightsaber makes it home safely! If you have any questions or need further assistance planning your visit,
please feel free to reach out.
May the Force be with you,
Brent
