Bright suns, Robyn, and welcome to planDisney! I sense the Force is strong with you and your upcoming journey to a galaxy far, far away, so let’s start planning!
Your husband made a great choice in making a reservation for
Savi’s Workshop – Handbuilt Lightsabers at the Walt Disney World Resort! Last year, my son saved his birthday money and built a legendary lightsaber at Savi’s Workshop. I was lucky enough to be his Guest, and I have to say that building a lightsaber with him goes down as one of my all-time favorite Disney experiences!
I double-checked the rules for Savi’s Workshop and chatted with a Cast Member, and was told that unfortunately, the experience is limited to the builder and one Guest. At least one person in the party must be age 14 or older, and the Guest of the builder may not build a lightsaber when accompanying the builder. Keep in mind that the experience
has been adjusted slightly in order to accommodate physical distancing between parties, so space is limited, and of course, reservations are highly recommended.
The experience itself should take about 20-30 minutes. So, although one member of your group won’t be able to join the experience, there are still plenty of things to see and do in Batuu while they wait! I highly recommend roaming the Black Spire Outpost Shops – I could spend hours perusing all the out-of-this-galaxy creations! After all that shopping, you won’t want to miss a visit to the
Milk Stand to sample some refreshing Blue or Green Milk. You can even mix the two flavors together for a special treat!
Once your group is back together again, I recommend meeting up at Batuu’s local watering hole,
Oga’s Cantina at the Walt Disney World Resort. It’s just a few steps away from Savi’s Workshop. This stop will give you all time to catch up and recap the awesome experience at Savi’s! My family loves sipping on our favorite exotic concoctions while listening to DJ R-3X mix up some beats! Just be sure to make a reservation ahead of time, since this is the place to be in Batuu!
I can’t wait for you and your crew to live out your own
Star Wars story at
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at
Walt Disney World Resort!
May the Force be with you, Robyn!
