Bright Suns, Sarah, and welcome to
planDisney!
As a fellow U.K. resident, I completely understand the challenges of booking
Enchanting Extras like
Savi's Workshop – Handbuilt Lightsabers through the usual channels. While the Walt Disney World website and U.K. Disney phone number don’t offer direct booking options for Savi's Workshop, you can try using the chat function via the My Disney Experience App. Open 'Chat With Us,' and you may be able to connect with a Cast Member who can help secure your reservation, subject to availability. Alternatively, reaching out to a U.S.-based travel agent could also be a great way to lock in that coveted spot.
There is also the chance for same-day reservations, with bookings available up to 2 hours in advance. If you’re already in the park, checking in at the workshop may be worthwhile, as walk-ins are sometimes accommodated based on availability.
If advance booking doesn’t work out, another option is building a customised lightsaber at
Tatooine Traders. While it doesn’t offer the full immersive experience of Savi's, it’s a fun and affordable alternative. The Cast Members there are fantastic - my son had the best time as they guided him through choosing all the components. Plus, no need for pre-booking, making it a convenient backup plan.
I hope this information helps today. Have an epic trip, Sarah, and may the Force be with you always!
