Well, if you want to visit Savi’s Workshop, read this FIRST!
A Disneyland vacation just got more expensive in more ways than one. We saw some major ticket price increases, and Genie+ now costs $5 more than it used to. Unfortunately, that’s not where the price increases end.

Earlier, we noticed that the Savi’s Workshop lightsaber building experience and the Droid Depot got more expensive at Disney World’s Hollywood Studios. Now, those same price increases have hit Disneyland as well. [Read more…]
Just when you think Disney World can’t get any busier…it does!
Magic Kingdom
We started the year with a FULL year’s worth of announcements in January alone, but there was still LOTS of Disney news in February and March. April was certainly no exception, with the long-awaited reopening of the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover, and many transformations happening around the parks! And we’ve only seen more news released since then. Without further ado, let’s take a look at 16 new things that have happened in Disney World recently or are set to happen soon!
If you’re a Star Wars fan, there is tons of awesome merch for you to choose from!

In fact, guests can even select their own lightsaber parts at Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. And while we already knew that some new designs will be debuting soon, Disney just announced that even MORE new hilts will be available online later this month!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios is home to interactive experiences that allow you to build your own droid or create your own lightsaber.
Sith Holocron with Force Guidance Crystal
Well, Disney just upped the ante with a NEW way to customize your lightsaber and holocrons! The kyber crystal is the force behind any lightsaber and holocron. At Galaxy’s Edge, you can choose the color of your kyber crystal to fit your mood and display what side of the force you represent. Are you on the Dark Side or a Jedi fighting with the Resistance? You can represent your choice with kyber crystals. The crystals customize your lightsaber AND allow you to interact with a holocron!
It is crazy to think that Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opened in Disney’s Hollywood Studios over a year ago!
Galaxy’s Edge
There are so many unique experiences on Batuu like piloting the Millenium Falcon or building your own lightsaber. Savi’s Workshop, where “scrap metal” turns into a saber, recently reopened, and now, taking a cue from Droid Depot beginning to sell loose parts, they’re selling additional parts for your lightsaber!
As we inch closer to the grand opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland Park in just TEN DAYS, Disney is releasing information to help us know what to expect when we visit Batuu for the first time. And today, Disney Parks Blog announced the pricing for the high-end, customizable lightsabers guests can purchase at Savi’s Workshop — Handbuilt Lightsabers!
