Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge Shopping and Merchandise: Savi’s, Droid Depot and More!

Did you try the Resistance area? That supply outpost may have them near the register.

I wonder if they are already discontinued if they would still add money to the ones already out there

It can be done online. I got a great deal on a $500 gift card (which I’m using most of to pay off the pass I just renewed) and I transferred it to my Spira online.

You can still add money. The medallion links to disneygiftcard.com and you can add funds there or at a register.

Disney apparently doesn’t want to sell more as they were part of the grand opening celebration. I think we were lucky as they restocked DL SWGE for all the D23 members.

Whether an "extra" person in a family of three can get in has been the subject of much speculation--some have reported people being let in with the extra family member, others have seen people being refused to get in with more than one guest. If you are going by the official policy, the answer is one guest only.

That said, whether or not it is possible for a third to tag along, the policy also says the Savi's workshop is for guests age 5 and older. So I think your friend would be out of lock since they would be asking for an exception to both rules. I also think the age rule is likely to be more strictly enforced than the one guest rule because other guests would complain and demand a refund if their $200 experience that is supposed to be very emotional and solemn was ruined by a crying baby or toddler.

Isn't the age requirement for active builders not just for someone coming in along with a parent? In your thought, a single parent couldn't even enter and build one for themselves if their child is under 5 and I'm pretty sure that isn't the case, that a single parent can come in with their too young to build child.

That said, I have no idea how they'll handle 2 adults, 1 builder and too young children. 1 infant in arms is likely ok. A couple with 5 littles, maybe not. There is a limit in the amount of space and if they allow someone to bring in 1, then do they allow 3, 4? Probably something that is going to be case by case.

So I am part idiot.

I didn't know you could go int he droid outpost building if you weren't building a droid. Walked in there and they had some (not a lot)there at the other register that's off to the side of where the droid building is.

But, it was the only place I saw it. I literally walked by/into every place in GE, and rest of park

anyone get a "plushie". I would love to see some photos!!

Is there an easier way to check for reservations for Savis? I click on it on the app and it sends me to the web page, which takes a while to load. Hate having to refresh the entire page.

Go straight to the app on the browser on your phone, bookmark that page of site. Click that from then on

I know someone else asked, but don't think it got answered. Has anyone gone to Savi's during EEMH? I've decided I'm getting one of these bad boys when my friend comes down next weekend.

I did not realize they were only going to be part of the grand opening, interesting. I can’t decide if I want to bring it back on future trips or leave it at home.

The only anxious moments were when we used them in TS restaurants...we were clearing the value on 2 medallions to gift them unlinked...and in the past a server at Coral Reef had returned my DD’s cc and her Disney ID to another table. He literally ran across the restaurant to retrieve her cards.

I think if you just use the medallion at shops and QS, it is a fun and safe way!

Okay I'm going to Galaxy Edge. I have a new AP. I understand that I can't get a discount for Droid building or Savi. Is everything else taking a AP discount In Galaxy edge? Sorry this seems like a silly question.

Thanks for the reply. I had not noticed that there was an age policy for Savi's. That makes it much easier. Since we are all going to be at Disney at the same time for a family trip, I'll recommend to my brother that if his wife wants to watch, we should coordinate when I'm in the park at the same time so I can go to something more little kid friendly with my nephew while they do Savi's.

The website isn't super clear, but the email I got with my reservation confirmation says that it is "Limit one paying Guest and one accompanying Guest per paid experience" and then says "Guests must be 5 years old to participate" so I read that as pertaining to both the builder and guest. I guess this is one of things we won't know how they are enforcing until we get more reports, but I do think they would probably tell a single parent with a toddler no--after all, who is going to watch the toddler while the builder is participating in the experience? The builder can't have the toddler up at the table with them because guests are not allowed to build the saber with the builder and have to wait in the back and observe, and I don't know any two year olds who'd do that.

I think that is the way to go. My DH and I have staggered our twins' savi's reservations so that we can trade off watching our 4-year old while going in to build, kind of like a rider swap. We're treating it just like it is a height-restricted ride.

All other merchandise is discounted

Hey all! I was lucky enough to get a Droid Depot and Savi's reservation on the same day. Right now I've got Savi's scheduled at 12:25 and Droid Depot at 1:35.

My questions is, will I have enough time to do both within that timeframe? They are physically right by each other, but is Savi's going to take more than an hour from reservation start time to finish?

Thanks in advance!

you'll be fine, the experience itself is 20 min

It actually does cover this on the website but you do have to put the 2 and 2 together

First, at the top, it states
Each lightsaber builder may have one guest, but please do not include the guest in the number of participants—only include the number of actual builders.

Then when you go to look for a reservation is has
Select the Number of Participants
Please see the Terms and Conditions for information about age requirements. When making your selection, do not include Guests who will be accompanying the participants.

Click on "Terms and Conditions" and is shows Age recommendation to participate in this program is 5 years and older"

The age requirements is related to Participants, not guests. And it's a recommendation, not requirement. So different than say, BBB, which is required 3-11

Does that mean every CM working will grasp the connection? Does that mean that every single parent should bring their too young child?
No

But I in no way agree that Disney will refuse a single parent the ability to participate in the activity (aka take their money). It's going to be up to the parent to know if it's a valid activity for their child to accompany them on.

Yes, and it worked great!

We went at roughly 6am rope drop. They march you into Galaxy's Edge (cool experience!) and then put you more or less straight into the queue for the Millennium Falcon Smuggler's Run ride. We asked if we could leave the line since we wanted to go to Savi's, and initially were told no, but once we were closer to the ride they let us leave the line. Up until that point we had been flanked by cast members. Once we left the line, we went to Savi's and signed up on the spot. The room was only half full of builders for us, and we were probably for the first "show" of the day. It was amazing, and no problem at all getting it done first thing during EMH.

I know people have asked, but I haven't seen an answer. Have the droid backpacks been in stock lately? We were there this past weekend and I checked on Saturday and Sunday and they didn't have any. I want one so badly! I'll be back in October so I'm hoping to get one then.

As for Savi's, I've been fortunate to take part in the experience twice. First was early in the day and it seemed they stuck to the one builder one guest rule. The second time was late in the day, around 9pm, and I know there were at least 2 groups of 3 or more. One builder was a child and both parents were allowed in to watch.
