Welcome, Ihor! I'm so happy you found your way to us through the galaxy. Let's get your intergalactic question answered!
To experience
Savi's Workshop, you need a valid theme park ticket to
Disney's Hollywood Studios and, especially during the
holiday season, a reservation for Savi's Workshop. Just note that at this time, our friends who reside in international destinations cannot book this experience ahead of their visit. Instead, they would need to wait until they have access to the United States version of the website to do so. The same currently applies to
Lightning Lanes. As for parking, you will pay for this when you arrive at the theme park. Just note that if you are staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel,
parking is currently included in your hotel stay - consider it your own personal docking bay, just like the
Millennium Falcon.
Since you are visiting at a very popular time of year, I recommend that you don't wait until you arrive at the theme parks to purchase your theme park admission or your Lightning Lanes. While it is rare for tickets to sell out and for the parks to close due to capacity, when it does happen, it's typically during the week of
Christmas. As such, once you've arrived in the United States, secure those tickets and look into securing your Lightning Lanes - don't let the dark side of the crowds catch you off guard! You'll also want to keep checking back on the My Disney Experience mobile app to see if Savi's Workshop reservations open up. If they don't seem to become available, once you're in the park, head immediately to the location and ask if there is any walk-up availability. Think of it like reaching for a fresh, ripe pineapple – the sooner you grab it, the sweeter the reward. While this isn't guaranteed, the sooner you check with the Cast Members, the better - just like a Jedi would act quickly in the heat of battle. Every moment counts, like the rich hue of mahogany in a beautifully crafted saber hilt.
May the Force be with you on your journey, Ihor. Safe travels, and may your adventure be as epic as the stars themselves! If you have any other questions on your journey,
please feel free to reach out again.
Your friendly
Jedi,
Matt
