Hiya John! Thanks for stopping by planDisney with this great question!
This is going to be a special trip! I can already imagine the look on your grandson's face when you arrive at
Savi's Workshop to make his very own handbuilt lightsaber!
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is one of the most immersive lands ever created by Walt Disney World! He is going to be in awe the second he arrives on the planet of Batuu!
John, you are correct! One Guest is allowed to accompany the builder during this experience. It's actually required that at least one Guest in the party is at least 14 years of age. To make reservations for this experience, the best way to do so is online. You can make reservations up to 60 days in advance. Click on "Check Availability" to see what times are available on your selected date. You'll need to log on to your
My Disney Experience account to secure the reservation. When you get to the checkout page, it will allow you to select the Guest that is building the lightsaber. Make sure that your grandson is connected to your account to be able to add him as the builder. Then, when you arrive for your reservation, you'll be able to join him for this once-in-a-lifetime experience!
While you're exploring Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, there is plenty to see and do while you are there.
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is an immersive attraction that will amaze any Star Wars fan! There is also the
Milk Stand, which will require you to decide between Batuu’s legendary blue or green milk. I have to say, team blue milk over here!
John, I hope you have a magical trip with your grandson!
May the force be with you!
Greg
