Hi, Michelle! Or as they say on the planet Batuu, "Bright suns!"
It sounds like you are looking forward to traveling to Batuu and exploring Black Spire Outpost when
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge opens at
Disney's Hollywood Studios on August 29, 2019. I am also counting down the days until this immersive new land opens at the Walt Disney World Resort. I was lucky enough to visit Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge when it opened at Disneyland Resort, and it was an incredible adventure. Piloting the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy on
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run was a childhood dream come true!
I have been following the
Disney Parks Blog closely to hear all of the latest news about Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at the Walt Disney World Resort. Many little details about the land, such as procedures for having purchases shipped, have yet to be discussed. When purchasing items at other retail locations throughout the Walt Disney World
theme parks, you have a few different options for
merchandise pickup and delivery. If you simply want to avoid carrying your purchases with you throughout the park, at the time of purchase, you can ask the retail clerk to have your merchandise sent to a convenient pick-up location near the front of the park. You can then pick up your packages as you are exiting the theme park at the end of the day. If you are staying at a
Walt Disney World Resort Hotel, you can also ask to have your merchandise sent directly to your hotel for you to pick up. For an additional fee, you can also arrange to have your purchases shipped to your home. This can be arranged at many retail locations, or you can take your purchases to one of the Walt Disney World Resort Hotel
Business Centers to have it shipped home from there.
At this time, we don't know for sure if
Savi's Workshop - Handbuilt Lightsabers at the Walt Disney World Resort will be able to ship lightsabers home in the same manner as merchandise purchased at other retail locations. It would be best to check with a Cast Member at Savi's Workshop when you arrive to see what your options are. According to Kristin, one of our Disneyland Resort Panelists, Savi's Workshop at Disneyland Resort has been able to ship lightsabers home for guests. Here is some great
information that Kristin recently provided for another guest that you may find helpful.
I hope you enjoy living out your own Star Wars adventure, Michelle! May the Force be with you!
