Bright Suns, James! Welcome to planDisney and thanks for your excellent question about Enchanting Extras reservations.
Customizing a lightsaber at
Savi's Workshop: Handbuilt Lightsabers and crafting our own BB-series astromech droid unit at Droid Depot are two of my family's favorite experiences in
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge! I'm so glad you've mentioned that you are planning to
secure advance reservations for these Enchanting Extras because they are very popular activities in Disneyland Resort. I always recommend that Guests make those reservations up to 60 days in advance of their visit. Since yours is coming up in early June, you should have access to book those activities now. In fact, I just attempted to search for availability myself and was successful in locating a few reservations open on the date you indicated.
To secure your reservations, all you need to do is enter the range of dates for which you'd like to search, the number of builders, and the time of day (morning, afternoon, or evening options). Then, the search function will display any available times for your selected dates. Keep in mind that each builder can bring along 2 Guests each, at both
Savi's Workshop and
Droid Depot. In both cases, a credit card will be required to hold the reservation for these experiences and Guests should keep in mind the cancellation policy as they make their bookings.
Finally, James, I do want to mention that same-day appointments may be available at one or both outposts. Last month, I brought my nephew to visit Batuu for the first time and build his own custom lightsaber. While we had advance reservations in place, I was able to visit the Cast Member on planet and ask if we could move his reservation time to an earlier slot in the day. They were able to work with me to shift our time and indicated that they often help Guests with same-day reservation availability if they can. So, while it's not guaranteed, I like to mention that Guests should feel free to check in with a Cast Member at the merchandise shop for any special requests like this.
I hope these are some helpful tips, James! I wish you a safe journey to Black Spire Outpost and if we can help along the way, don't hesitate to reach out to us at
planDisney.
'Til the Spires!
