We’ve Got Good News and Bad News About Disney World’s Lightsaber Souvenirs

There are PLENTY of things to do in Disney World if you’re a Star Wars fan.

Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge

First, you can immerse yourself in a planet that resides in a galaxy far, far away by visiting Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. You can even eat Star Wars-themed food and shop in a Star Wars-themed market. If you’re feeling fast, you could even try and pilot the Millennium Falcon. Over at Star Tours, you can help a Rebel spy escape to freedom. You can also build your own lightsaber, but something has changed in that experience.

First, we have to point out that we’re not referring to the Lightsaber Experience at Savi’s Workshop in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, which can be pricey. We’re referring to the Build-Your-Own Lightsaber station you’ll find in Tatooine Traders. Granted, the quality of these lightsabers isn’t as good as what you’ll get at Savi’s, but it’s a great, inexpensive alternative to make a custom lightsaber, especially for kids.

Well, now, you can experience the same thing WITHOUT a park ticket. If you visit Once Upon A Toy in Disney Springs, you’ll find a brand new Build-Your-Own Lightsaber Experience there.

It works exactly like the one in Disney Springs. You’ll choose the kind of lightsaber you want to build. You have four choices: a single lightsaber, a deluxe single lightsaber, a double lightsaber, or a deluxe double lightsaber.

Choose your lightsaber

Then, you’ll begin choosing your parts. You’ll start by choosing an end cap or adapter. End caps are for single lightsabers, and adapters are for double lightsabers.

Then, you’ll choose your chassis for your blade color. Note that these are the expandable blades.

Next up is choosing your activation switch.

You’ll also choose your lightsaber sleeve.

Then, you can choose your emitter. You can choose a standard emitter or a deluxe emitter.

We have to warn you, though, that the cost of this experience has gone up by $5. You’ll now pay $34.99 for a single lightsaber, $39.99 for a deluxe single lightsaber, $49.99 for a double lightsaber, and $50.99 for a deluxe double lightsaber.

New prices!

You put all the parts together yourself as you go through the process, but if you ever have any questions, you can always ask a Cast Member to help.
