Bright Suns, Giancarlo - it's great to have you here at planDisney!
Like so many other interstellar travelers, making the journey to
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge to craft your own lightsaber is one of those experiences that you just can't find anywhere else. I spent the past week on the planet Batuu speaking with villager Cast Members and checking out the latest updates to the offerings and merchandise at Black Spire Outpost and found that there was quite a bit of availability for open spots at
Savi's Workshop - even for walk-ins and especially towards the evening.
At the current time,
reservations can be made up to 60 days in advance when full payment is also due so you'll have to wait just a little longer before you can do so if you're aiming for August availability. (International guests may sometimes have difficulty making reservations depending on the way they're accessing the Walt Disney World Resort website, so it's great to know that there could be a chance for walk-up availability on the day they visit.)
Whenever I'm visiting Batuu in the evenings, I tend to see so many more lightsabers lighting up the night and it's always a good idea to find a
Disney PhotoPass photographer who can take some epic shots for you! There's a very great spot that can often be found in the area between
Oga's Cantina and the First Order TIE Echelon parked outside of
First Order Cargo. I personally also prefer a later booking so that you don't have to worry about carrying around your lightsaber all day, but I hope that you're able to snag a great spot for your trip this summer!
May the Force be with You this Ferragosto,
Prince
