Hi, there!
Or rather, Bright Suns! We're so glad you stopped by, Candice. It looks like you'll be traveling to a galaxy far, far away very, very soon! You must be so excited.
Constructing a lightsaber with the help of the "Gatherers" at
Savi's Workshop is truly a Jedi-worthy experience. My son had the chance to assemble his very own lightsaber there a few years ago, and it made for an out-of-this-world memory! And the very best part is that he has his lightsaber proudly displayed in his room to be reminded of that force-filled visit. To answer your question, yes, you may certainly use a Disney Gift Card towards the purchase of your handbuilt lightsaber at Savi's Workshop. When you arrive for your reservation, head to the check-in stand. There you'll select your path and receive a cloisonné pin that identifies your hilt theme. You'll also pay for the experience at that time. My son used a Disney Gift Card as a partial payment and then paid the difference with cash that he had very carefully saved, but you can also pay the difference with a credit card, or, if you're a Guest of a Disney Resort hotel, charge it to your room folio with a tap of your MagicBand.
Once you have your new lightsaber, be sure to take advantage of the many galactic photo ops throughout
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. There are lots of
Disney PhotoPass Photographers nearby who will gladly help you stage and capture incredible images that highlight your lightsaber and the force within you!
I hope this was helpful, Candice. I'm wishing you a magical visit to the Walt Disney World Resort!
