Bright Suns, Cody! I received the transmission your droid sent us. Thankfully, Obi-Wan Kenobi isn't your only hope. I'm here to help!
Very soon you'll be traveling to a galaxy far, far away and will be landing on the planet Batuu in
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. While you're on planet, it sounds like you're looking to build some very special cargo at
Savi's Workshop - Handbuilt Lightsabers. You must truly be a Jedi since this secret location has been kept hidden from the prying eyes of the First Order. The Force is strong with you!
Cody, I have a two-part answer for you. The short answer is yes, if someone cancels a reservation to build a lightsaber, that availability should show up on the reservation page. However, I can't guarantee how long it will take the system to recognize the cancellation and have it pop up as available again. For this reason, it may be scooped up before you're able to snag it.
It sounds like what you may be looking for is a reservation modification. I would recommend reaching out to a Cast Member, either by
calling or through the Chat feature in the
My Disney Experience app. I would describe the situation you find yourself in and what type of change you're hoping for. While nothing is guaranteed, Cast Members will do everything they can to help you with any available options (you can trust them - they're working for the Resistance!).
If you're looking for is to make a brand new reservation, I would continue to check back on the reservation page periodically leading up to your trip. As Guests' plans can sometimes shift and change, you may see availability closer to your trip. I like to keep the tab open on my browser and refresh it a few times a day!
Cody, if the above options don't work for you, it's clear that the dark side has been involved. And we can't let them win! I want you to know of an excellent backup plan where you can craft your very own lightsaber (on a smuggler's budget), allowing you to continue to fight for the light side of the Force. I would strongly encourage you to check out
Tatooine Traders for the type of cargo you seek.
While you're on Batuu, I have a few more suggestions for you! First, you'll need to refuel after your long journey, and you'll definitely want to
mobile order some galactic grub through the My Disney Experience app for a meal at
Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo. While everything is delicious, I strongly recommend the Felucian Kefta and Hummus Garden Spread or the Pirjanad Hot Chicken Tip Yip - trust me on this one. You'll also want to channel your inner Jedi and stop by the
Milk Stand. After you taste both the green and blue milk, please send a transmission back to us and let us know which one you liked better. This is a topic that the citizens of Batuu have battled over for years and we need one more vote to break the tie. And don't forget to make your Theme Park Reservations with the
Disney Park Pass system to reserve the parks you wish to visit on each day of your trip!
'Til the Spires!
