Bright suns, Matthew! Thanks for bringing your great question to planDisney!
There are so many wonderful things to experience in
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge whether it's the immersive
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance attraction, or out-of-this-world experiences such as building a custom lightsaber at
Savi's Workshop.
You can begin to make your
reservations for Savi's Workshop - Handbuilt Lightsabers up to 60 days in advance, and I do recommend booking right away since this experience is extremely popular. You'll begin by selecting a date range that you'd like to build your lightsaber, and then you'll be able to select the number of builders. Only select the number of builders that will actually build a lightsaber. If you select 4 builders, you will be building and purchasing 4 lightsabers, so you will want to select the number of builders that will actually be experiencing this enchanting extra. The experience area can only accommodate 1 builder and 2 Guests as well, you'll want to take that into account when making your reservation.
You may also want to explore the
Droid Depot where you can build your own Astromech Droid Unit! This was a great option for my son when he was younger, and wasn't quite ready for Savi's Workshop. He had so much fun picking out all of the parts and colors as they went by on the conveyor belt.
I hope you and your family are able to secure your reservations for this special experience, Matthew! We are here for you if you have any other questions, so don't hesitate to
come back and visit us at planDisney!
Have a magical day!
Melissa
