Disney raises the prices for Lightsabers & Droids at Walt Disney World

Guests wanting to build their own lightsabers & droids at Walt Disney World will need to expand their budget for both of those activities. Disney has raised the prices for both Savi’s Workshop – Handbuilt Lightsabers and building a droid at Droid Depot in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.

Both of these experiences are available in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. They both need to be booked in advance and guests must have a reservation in order to participate.

At Savi’s Workshop, guests can build their own lightsaber. This experience has increased from $219.99 to $249.99. The Walt Disney World website describes the experience as:

“Meet one of Savi’s Gatherers outside his workshop, where you’ll choose one of 4 available hilt themes and receive a cloisonné pin to identify your selection. Themes include:

Peace and Justice
Salvaged scraps from fallen Jedi temples and crashed starships in these Republic-era designs honor the galaxy’s former guardians.
Power and Control
Originally forged by dark side warriors, this style features rumored remnants from the Sith homeworld and abandoned temples.
Elemental Nature
This theme embodies the Force—an energy created by all living things, like Brylark trees, Cartusion whale bones and Rancor teeth.
Protection and Defense
Hilt materials bear mysterious motifs and inscriptions that reconnect users with the ancient wellspring of the Force.

The Gatherers will now help you select the heart of your lightsaber—the kyber crystal, which is available in red, blue, green or violet.

Next, begin assembling your hilt—parts will be provided based on your theme and cloisonné pin. Each box of parts includes:

1 hilt
4 sleeves (pick 2)
2 emitters (pick 1)
2 pommel caps (pick 1)
2 sets of activation plates and switches (pick 1 set)

Upon hilt completion, the unused parts will be collected by the Gatherers and returned to Savi’s inventory. These are not included with your lightsaber package.

Finally, the Gatherers will masterfully connect your hilt to a 31” lightsaber blade so you’re ready for anything the galaxy puts in your path!”

The Droid Depot experience allows guests to make a custom-built astromech droid and has increased from $99 to $119.99. The experience is described as:

“First, register your choice of the BB-series unit or R-series unit with the clerk, who’ll provide a basket and blueprint for parts. Next, proceed to the following stations and begin your droid-building experience.

Parts Station
Select from a colorful variety of components to customize your droid as they roll by on the shop’s conveyor belt:

BB-Series

Dome
Dome Connection Plate
Body Sphere
Motivator

R-Series

Dome
Body
Center Leg
Set of Side-Legs

Build Station
Here you’ll follow simple “placemat” instructions or graphic monitor displays to assemble your droid in the proper sequence. Once complete, your droid will be paired with a remote control and activated as you watch it come to life!”

These price increases are just the next in a list of increases Disney implemented yesterday. Disneyland ticket prices, Capture Your Moment photo session pricing, and the Disney Genie+ price at both resorts have been increased.
