Hi Alicia,
What a wonderful gift! I love the gift of experiences so much and
Savi's Workshop is such a magical experience that they will enjoy for years to come. The beauty of this experience is that you get to take a souvenir home with you to play with forever.
The reservation should be in the lightsaber builder's name and payment is due upon arrival for your reservation. If you want to pay for their lightsaber and will not be at the experience with them,
Disney Gift Cards can be used for this experience and are a great option. Each reservation is for one builder only. They can bring one guest with them but that person will only be able to observe the experience and not participate in it.
After getting their lightsaber, remind your guest to utilize the
Disney PhotoPass photographers to get some awesome photos in Galaxy's Edge using their lightsaber as a prop. Chewbacca and Stormtroopers can regularly be seen wandering around as well and are such fun characters to pose with for great photos to commemorate your trip.
I highly recommend also making reservations at
Oga's Cantina! It is such a fun Star Wars-themed bar that makes you feel like you are part of the movies. They serve both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks that are delicious and creative.
Happy Planning
Jenna
