Attention all Disney enthusiasts and travelers! The U.S. government has recently issued updates to regulations that will definitely perk up the ears of Star Wars fans planning visits to Walt Disney World or Disneyland. As you prepare for your adventure to these magical destinations, be sure to stay informed about the latest changes.
When it comes to experiencing the magic firsthand, a trip to Walt Disney World Resort or Disneyland is filled with unforgettable memories. From the enchanting Main Street Philharmonic performances to the allure of iconic attractions, visitors are engrossed in a world of endless wonder. But the excitement doesn’t come cheap—transportation, accommodation, park tickets, and souvenirs can take a hefty toll on your wallet.
A particularly celebrated and coveted piece of merchandise, especially for Star Wars aficionados, is the lightsaber. Available in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at both Disneyland Park and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, these collectibles, whether character-inspired or custom-crafted, have become must-have souvenirs. However, the joy of acquiring a lightsaber can quickly turn to frustration if these delicate items break during shipment, leaving guests to deal with frustrating replacement procedures.
In a welcome twist, recent updates to government travel regulations mean that fans no longer need to fret about transporting their beloved lightsabers. The TSA now permits lightsabers as carry-on items or within checked luggage. So, fear not, aspiring Jedi and Sith—you can safely bring your lightsaber on board as you travel back home. According to the TSA’s whimsical note, “Sadly, the technology doesn’t currently exist to create a real lightsaber. However, you can pack a toy lightsaber in your carry-on or checked bag. May the Force be with you.” Yet, they do remind travelers that the final decision on any item at checkpoints ultimately rests with the TSA officer.
