Hi, there!
Or rather, Bright Suns! It sounds like you're planning an out-of-this-world adventure at
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. And it looks like you'll be making that journey TOMORROW - how exciting!
A visit to
Savi's Workshop to construct a lightsaber with the help of the Gatherers is a must-do for any Jedi. It's a force-filled experience, for sure! You ask excellent questions about the lightsaber you'll be building based on your carefully selected path. I'm pleased to tell you it's certainly TSA-friendly. In fact, a lightsaber is even listed as a permissible item on the official TSA website! To answer your second question, the lightsaber you construct at Savi's Workshop will not retract or break down into smaller pieces. But not to worry! Your lightsaber will come with a padded carrying case with a shoulder strap. You can take the carrying case right through security and onto the plane as your personal item. My Padawan was able to place his carrying case in the overhead compartment on our flight with no issue! His lightsaber made it safely home to Pennsylvania where it is now proudly displayed.
You'll need to refuel while you're exploring the distant planet Batuu. Be sure to stop by
Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo for galactic grub! My family especially enjoys the Endorian Fried Chicken Tip Yip. Yum!
I hope this was helpful, Mike. I'm wishing you a magical stay at the Walt Disney World Resort!
