Bright Suns, Kellie!
Your special visit to the
Walt Disney World Resort is nearly here – what a special way to kick off the new year together! I’m excited to hear your husband has made plans to visit the secret location of
Savi’s Workshop to participate in this magical, most sacred of ceremonies. Unfortunately, parcel pick-up has not returned to Walt Disney World yet to hold your purchase at the front of the theme park for the day (or to send to your resort) but I'm happy to share some options for you to enjoy the rest of your day at
Disney’s Hollywood Studios. You may always inquire with the "Gatherers" at Savi's Workshop what they advise at the end of your ceremony to protect your new lightsaber during your off-world adventures in the theme park.
While there are
locker rentals available at all four theme parks, the mystical lightsaber will not fit in them given the expansive shape of this handmade object. Your husband's beautiful, newly handcrafted weapon will come with a fabric case to carry on his back or shoulder for the duration of your day. You can bring this to any attraction queue and request that the Cast Member secure it for you while you enjoy that specific attraction, as it typically doesn't fit in a ride vehicle the way a backpack does. I encourage you to bring a luggage tag or other way to indicate your personal package to avoid any confusion when picking up the lightsaber after a thrilling attraction experience.
Merchandise locations such as
Droid Depot or
First Order Cargo can offer shipping services if you wish to send your lightsaber through time and space back to your home. They will provide cargo details and tracking numbers, and your package will meet you on your home planet after your vacation if that’s easier for you. You may also wish to inquire at
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge merchandise locations if they offer merchandise holds for the day given the size of objects they sell. If this becomes an option, please confirm the shop hours as they may differ from the theme park’s hours, and you want to collect your lightsaber prior to their doors closing for the evening.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is such an incredible land to explore, and I know your husband is going to have a blast during his personalized experience at Savi’s Workshop. I hope you are both able to truly escape to the planet Batuu together and make some core memories to kick off a year full of adventure together in 2024.
Please let our team at planDisney know if you have any further questions for this special vacation.
Wishing you a magical new year,
Amy
