When booking your experience you’ll need to select your lightsaber theme. Be sure to check in with one of Savi’s Gatherers (i.e., Cast Members) to see if there is an opening if you did not make reservations. Tip: While online advance registration is encouraged, Disney does have limited walk-up availability. Thankfully now you can book reservations online before your visit to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in both Disneyland and Walt Disney World. When I visited on Opening Day in Disneyland Park I had to race to the shop to get in line, knowing it would be extremely popular. To start your lightsaber build, you need to make a reservation at Savi’s Workshop – Handbuilt Lightsabers. Some things have changed since I built my lightsaber, and with the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Walt Disney World Resort it seems like a good time to revist this experience and offer tips for whom the experience may be best suited and whether it’s worth the cost. I have written before about my excitement for Savi’s Workshop – Handbuilt Lightsabers, and in my review of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge’s Opening Day in Disneyland Park I briefly covered my experience building a lightsaber. Over the last 3 months, there have been some changes to the process and one big question debated – is it worth it? As we were preparing for the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Walt Disney World Resort, I asked my son what he thought about Savi’s Workshop now that he had had time to reflect on the experience. He custom built a lightsaber in Disneyland and enjoyed bringing it with him to Black Spire Outpost in Florida. If you’ve read some of my other articles about Star Wars, you know that the real Jedi in my family is my son. He was at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in California on Opening Day and was also part of the Opening Day fun last month in Florida.
