Bright Suns, Marguerite! You have found your fellow Jedi here at planDisney. Thankfully, Obi-Wan Kenobi isn't your only hope. I'm here to help!
Marguerite, soon your family will be traveling to a galaxy far, far away very soon and will be landing on planet Batuu in
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. But oh, no - I'm sorry to hear that you haven't had luck in securing a reservation for
Savi's Workshop - Handbuilt Lightsabers on the day of your visit. It sounds like the First Order must have been involved! While there isn't a direct line to Savi's Workshop to inquire about reservations, I do have a few next steps that would be just right for you:
- My best tip is to continue to check for reservations leading up to your trip! As Guests' plans shift and change, you may be able to snag a reservation if one pops up. I like to keep the window open on my computer and refresh it a few times throughout the day. I would especially recommend that you earnestly check two days before and one day before. If a Guest needs to cancel, they often do so just outside the 24-hour cancellation period.
- If you weren't able to get a reservation for your date, you can always try to make a same-day reservation. With the popularity of this location, advance reservations are highly recommended, but there are sometimes a limited number of same-day reservations available. I'd suggest heading here upon your arrival and asking about any availability. However, you may also be able to see any last-minute availability pop up on your My Disney Experience app when searching for Savi's Workshop - Handbuilt Lightsabers.
- Even though Savi's Workshop is extremely popular, there is another way to make a lightsaber while in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge that's a bit of a hidden gem! There is an option to create a lightsaber at Tatooine Traders, no reservation required. The lightsabers that are built here are perfect for play and lightsaber battles! This might be another great option for your little Jedi-in-training.
Marguerite, once your son has created his lightsaber, I'd recommend placing a
mobile order for some galactic grub at either
Ronto Roasters or
Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo. It's important to refuel after your day's adventures! If you have any other questions, please visit us again. And may the Force be with you!
'Til the Spires!
