Welcome to planDisney, Nicola. It's not long now until you'll be boarding your starcruiser and heading to Batuu. I don't know about you, but planning is part of the fun for me. It helps create all that exciting anticipation that's all part of the experience. As you look forward to your trip, make sure you check out all the magical happenings on offer for the
50th Anniversary Celebration.
Since you'll be traveling from a galaxy far, far away, I'm sure you want to make the most of your holiday. Therefore, making a reservation at
Savi's Workshop in
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is a fantastic idea! We need all the Jedi's we can get in our battle against the First Order. And what's a Jedi without a lightsaber? This unique experience is part of the
Enchanting Extras Collection, which Guests can enjoy when they visit
Walt Disney World Resort. Nicola, just make sure that you and your fellow Resistance members have valid Park
tickets and
reservations for
Disney's Hollywood Studios on that day. As you mentioned, the Guest who is building the lightsaber can bring a person with them into the experience area. However, if you make a reservation before the Park opens, then the rest of your party will have to wait behind until the Park opens. Too many unauthorized members of the Resistance walking around Batuu at that time will only alert the First Order and put everyone in jeopardy. The safety of the Universe is at stake!
Despite the wait, it won't be long before you've all reunited again at the Dark Spire Outpost. I'm sure your new handbuilt lightsaber will make that group photo in front of the Millenium Falcon look out of this world! Whilst you're there, you should definitely experience
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance and
Millenium Falcon: Smuggler's Run. Since Batuu gets extremely hot, if you're looking for a fun and immersive place to wet your whistle, then
Oga's Cantina is the place to go!
May the Force be with you, Nicola.
Mike
