Bright Suns, Gill, and thanks for visiting us at planDisney. Learning to build a lightsaber under the guidance of the Gatherers is such an epic experience! So I’d be happy to chat about booking a spot for your son.
Currently, U.K. guests aren’t able to book
Enchanting Extras, like
Savi’s Workshop, through the Disney World website until they’re in the U.S. (and have access to the U.S. version of the website). Some experiences, like Fireworks Cruises, can be booked through the Chat With Us feature in the
My Disney Experience app or by
calling on the phone. If that’s not available, you can book Savi’s Workshop on the Disney World website once you get to the U.S. While availability is always changing, currently, there are a lot of time slots available for the next few weeks.
After your son builds his lightsaber, don’t forget to get lots of pictures with his new creation! You’ll find
PhotoPass photographers throughout Batuu, and I recommend getting both daytime and nighttime pictures. My favorite daytime spot is the
Super Zoom Magic Shot location near
Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo. And at night, you can usually find PhotoPass photographers taking lightsaber pictures in the Millennium Falcon area. My friends and I recently took evening pictures there, and the glowing lightsabers look so cool at night! If you’d like dedicated time with a PhotoPass photographer, you can also book a 20-minute
Capture Your Moment session.
Safe travels to Batuu later this month, and I hope you and your family have an amazing time exploring the planet! If you have any other questions, you’re always welcome back at planDisney.
