Unleash Your Inner Jedi:
Building a Kid's Lightsaber at Star Traders or Star Wars Trading Post in Downtown Disney
If you're planning a trip to Disneyland Resort and your young Padawans are eager to wield the power of the Force, consider a fun and interactive lightsaber-building experience! While Savi's Workshop in Galaxy's Edge offers an immersive and realistic lightsaber-building adventure for true Star Wars enthusiasts, Star Traders and Star Wars Trading Post in Downtown Disney have the perfect option for families with small kids who adore the Star Wars universe but may not be ready for the more intricate and realistic lightsabers.
The lightsabers available at Star Traders and Star Wars Trading Post are reasonably priced, typically costing around $30, with some upcharges for certain styles like a double-ended lightsaber, etc. This makes them a great souvenir option, allowing kids to bring a piece of their Star Wars adventure home with them. These lightsabers may not have the same level of customization as those at Savi's Workshop, but they are perfect for igniting young imaginations and providing endless hours of pretend play.
A Magical Extra Experience: For families with multiple kids, some of whom may be heading to Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique for a royal transformation, building a lightsaber can be an excellent alternative to create a similar "magical extra" experience for the young Star Wars fans. Just like the princesses and knights-in-training, the little Jedi apprentices can feel special and connected to their favorite Star Wars characters.
The Building Process: At Star Traders or Star Wars Trading Post, kids can choose from a variety of lightsaber designs inspired by their favorite characters like Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Rey, or Kylo Ren. They'll have the opportunity to pick their hilt and blade colors, allowing them to customize their lightsaber to match their personalities. Though the options may be more limited compared to Savi's Workshop, they will be just as excited about this lightsaber build at a fraction of a cost! This experience does not require a reservation.
Take photos afterward!: Just like when you take photos of your princesses after they visit Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, consider taking your kiddo over to Galaxy’s Edge and getting some great photos with his/her new lightsaber. There are tons of great places for photos throughout the land, and they can interact with the storm troopers and other characters and really be able to feel like they are a part of the adventure!
For families with young kids who want to embark on a Star Wars adventure at Disneyland Resort, building a lightsaber at Star Traders or Star Wars Trading Post in Downtown Disney is a fantastic option. With reasonably priced lightsabers that make perfect souvenirs, kids can channel their inner Jedi and continue their Star Wars adventures at home. So, get ready to ignite the Force within and create unforgettable memories in a galaxy far, far away!
