Hi Sharon! Welcome to planDisney!
I'm excited about your upcoming journey to
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge and your arrival on the planet of Batuu. Since you have quite a distance to travel, securing your plans ahead of time is your best option! Whether you plan to join the Resistance to battle against the First Order or pilot the Millennium Falcon, you'll have plenty to keep you busy during your time here!
Building a lightsaber at Savi's Workshop is one of the more unique experiences you can have when visiting the Walt Disney World Resort. So much so, that reservations tend to fill up quickly for this experience. Guests are allowed to start making reservations 60 days in advance. Since it is not showing availability for the dates you are searching for, my best advice is to continue checking back to see if anything opens up. There may be some young Jedi that are unable to make the trip and decide to cancel at any time. If so, you can snag the open reservation and be on your way to acquiring a handbuilt lightsaber. Another option is to try calling the Walt Disney World Resort and speaking to a Cast Member. You never know when some pixie dust or Disney magic will fly your way!
With your visit overlapping the Halloween holiday, make sure to try some of the tasty snacks and treats throughout the parks and resorts. If you are a Dole Whip fan, make your way over to
Disney Springs to try the Witches Dole Whip Flight. It consists of pumpkin, cheesecake, and classic pineapple flavors!
Sharon, I hope you have an amazing time during your visit! With the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary Celebration still underway, you'll have plenty to experience during your stay!
See ya real soon!
Greg
