Hi Cecelie!
We're so happy to have you back here at planDisney. You must be starting to feel the force with just five days until you are wielding your Legacy Lightsaber through Batuu!
Very happy to report that you are able to take your new lightsaber for a spin through
Galaxy's Edge before packing it up to ship it safely home. While I always recommend checking with a Cast Member at the time of purchase, in my experience, you simply hold onto your receipt and make your way to
First Order Cargo when you are ready to depart Batuu. Be sure to keep your receipt (or snap a photo) in a safe place even once you've arrived home. If you have any questions while your lightsaber is en route or once it arrives, give the Cast Members in
Merchandise Guest Services a call. You may be asked to reference or send a photo of your receipt.
If you're not quite ready to pack it away for the day, but want to travel to the lands of Fantasy, Tomorrow and Adventure without it in tow, there are a few
locations within Disneyland Park that will hold your merchandise for you. If you exit Galaxy's Edge through Frontierland,
Pioneer Mercantile, is your closest option. If you head out through Bayou Country, you will find Port Royal tucked away in New Orleans Square. This is a great option if you want to head back to Galaxy's Edge with your lightsaber once the sun goes down, which is my favorite time to visit!
Nighttime in Galaxy's Edge is a whole new experience. You won't want to miss
Fire Of The Rising Moons which offers a view of the Disneyland Park fireworks from a galactic perspective. One of the best spots to experience this is by the TIE Echelon docking platform, right near First Order Cargo. You can ship off your lightsaber then grab a spot to view the show. You'll end your day swept up in the music and storytelling you know and love.
Cecelie, I hope this was helpful in your planning. If you have any other questions, you know where to find us here at
planDisney.
May the magic be with you,
Tara
