Hi there, Monica - welcome to planDisney!
I'm so glad that you've found us and asked your very first question for our team of panelists. We love to help Guests just like you plan magical Walt Disney World Resort vacations!
I'm so happy to hEAR that you have a trip coming up in just a few weeks!
The Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary Celebration is in full swing - get ready for exciting new attractions, food, entertainment, and so much more! I do have to put in a plug for one specific attraction -
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT! It's the most fun I've had at Walt Disney World Resort in recent memory and simply can't be missed!
Savi's Workshop - Handbuilt Lightsabers is a unique experience for Jedis of all ages. The Gatherers spend their days searching the galaxy for salvaged parts and technology so that you can put the pieces back together into your very own lightsaber!
Reservations for Savi's Workshop open up starting 60 days in advance, and as one of the most popular experiences at Walt Disney World Resort, they tend to go very quickly. All is not lost! In my own experience, I tend to see some reservations start to pop up again as my trip approaches. I think what's happening is that Guests review their existing plans and start to make some tweaks at that point. Some people plan their vacations months or more than a year in advance, so a lot can change, including what people want to experience! Whenever another Guest cancels their Savi's reservation, it is then made available for other Guests. Keep checking, even once you arrive, and I hope you'll have luck!
While it doesn't happen too often, especially during busier times, there are sometimes a small number of same-day reservations or walk-up availability. If you don't end up being able to book a reservation in advance, I would go to
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge and stop by Savi's first thing in the morning to ask a Cast Member to help you understand any options for that day.
I know this isn't likely the answer you were hoping for, but my hope is that the information will help you successfully book this unique experience for your Mouseketeer! Please
let us know if you have any other questions, or check out
the planDisney podcast for more planning tips!
