Bright Suns, Emily, and welcome to planDisney!
There is nothing like a surprise trip to Batuu, especially when
Savi’s Workshop - Handbuilt Lightsabers is involved. The secret workshop is the perfect place for an out-of-this-world surprise, so let’s get you there undetected by the First Order!
Here are some tips to awaken the Force so you can complete your mission. As you are
booking your experience, after you have selected the date and time, you will be prompted to “Continue.” On the next screen, you will provide “Who will be in your party?” Then, you will need to select Guests from your
Family & Friends list who will join you at Savi’s Workshop. For the Guest for whom you would like this galactic gift to be a surprise, rather than selecting their existing account, scroll down and select “Add a New Guest.” You will be able to enter the Guest’s name without connecting the reservation to their My Disney Experience account. You must make sure you use the Guest’s correct name since all experiences are nontransferable. You can set the Contact Info to your email address and phone number. Once you receive the confirmation email, be sure to save it so that you can present it along with a photo ID and the credit card used when you arrive to Savi’s on the day of your experience.
Emily, now one more step that will help you remain out of the First Order’s sights. If your “surprisee” already shares plans with you, you will need to open your My Disney Experience and select “
Family & Friends,” then select “Edit” next to their name and change their “
Plan and Share” permission to "
View Only Shared Activities.” This will ensure that your reservation for the experience will not show on their My Disney Experience. Remember, theme park admission and a park reservation are required, so don’t let that deter your mission.
I recommend you arrive 15 minutes prior to your reservation and remind you that each person in your party must be present upon check-in and admission to Savi’s Workshop – Handbuilt Lightsabers. So don’t let anyone linger too long at
Oga’s Cantina! Speaking of Oga’s, I highly recommend the Blurrgfire. It is the perfect blend of sweet and spicy, just like Oga herself.
Emily, may the Force be with you on your surprise quest! If you have any other questions as you plan, come back and see us here at planDisney.
This is the way,
Shannon
