Bright Suns, Jesse, and welcome to planDisney. I’ve been having so much fun introducing my padawan learner (I mean nephew!) to all things Star Wars. So I’d love to help you and your family embark on your own Star Wars adventure!
Let’s get to your question about booking
Savi’s Workshop. You should be able to book and pay for your nephew’s reservation as long as you’re properly linked. You can test this out by going through the booking steps, but not finalizing the transaction. Go to Savi’s Workshop in the
My Disney Experience app, press the Check Availability button, and choose a date range that’s several weeks away. Once you find and select an open time slot, press the Continue button as if you’re checking out. On the next screen, expand the drop-down menu under Guest (you’ll see your profile by default). If you see your nephew's profile, you’re all set!
If not, let’s troubleshoot. If your nephew has his own
MyDisney account (available for guests 13 years and older), you need to be on each other’s
Family & Friends List. Click the Add a Guest button at the top right of your Family & Friends List on the
Disney World website. Here you can search by name and phone number, or email to add the other person. Your nephew will get an email to confirm.
If your nephew’s profile is managed by one of his parents, there are two things you need to do so you can book reservations on your nephew’s behalf. First, make sure you’re connected with the parent who created your nephew’s profile. To do that, you’ll follow the same steps outlined above. Once that’s done, the important next step is to have them grant you the ability to manage your nephew’s profile. They’ll need to go to their Family & Friends List and click the Edit Settings button next to your name. Under settings, they’ll click the Connect My Managed Guests button, check the box next to your nephew’s name, and then click Send Invite. You’ll receive an email inviting you to connect with your nephew’s profile to finish the process.
If you have any issues, call the
My Disney Experience phone number, and a Cast Member will be happy to help.
One last thing I wanted to mention before I go. You and your nephew might have fun doing the
Batuu Bounty Hunters missions together. You just need a
MagicBand+ and the
Play Disney Parks app to start channeling your inner Boba Fett! It’s a great way to explore all the nooks and crannies around Black Spire Outpost.
I’m wishing you a safe journey to Batuu and hope you have the best day ever with your nephew! If you have any other questions, we’d love to have you back at planDisney.
