Bright suns, Jamie! Welcome to planDisney.
It's not long now until you'll be boarding your spaceship and taking off to a galaxy far, far away. You're going to absolutely love exploring the planet of Batuu and experiencing the hustle and bustle of Black Spire Outpost. Make sure you enjoy a delicious Ronto Wrap from
Ronto Roasters and then wash it down with some famous blue milk from the
Milk Stand.
Since you'll be at
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, trips to
Savi's Workshop and
Droid Depot make perfect sense. Building your own lightsaber and astromech unit are truly out-of-this-world experiences and will surely sprinkle some extra pixie dust on your holiday.
I'm sorry that you're having trouble reserving these experiences, Jamie. I'm not sure how you've been trying to book them, but UK-based Guests aren't able to make
Enchanting Extras Collection reservations on the
Walt Disney Travel Company website. The way to make a reservation is by calling the
UK freephone number for Tours & Recreation and speaking with a friendly Cast Member. There might be a bit of a wait (Batuu is very popular around the summer months), but it'll be worth it.
You can always wait until you arrive in the U.S.A. to book these experiences through
disneyworld.disney.go.com, however, you run the risk of there being no availability by then. You can't book them through
Disney Genie+ either. So your best bet is to call on the phone from the UK. That way you can get your reservation sorted ahead of time, and then sit back, relax, and enjoy the build-up to your holiday.
I hope that's helpful, Jamie. May the Force be with you.
Mike
