In 2026, the TSA officially allows lightsabers (including those from Savi's Workshop at Disney) in both carry-on and checked luggage. While the policy is permissive, the lithium-ion batteries must stay with you in your carry-on if you decide to check the hilt. Most travelers prefer to carry the blade and hilt together in the padded carrying case provided by Disney, as it fits easily in overhead bins. However, the final decision always rests with the individual TSA officer at the checkpoint. If you are flying out of Orlando (MCO) or Orange County (SNA), security teams are very accustomed to seeing these "elegant weapons," but at smaller airports, you may encounter extra scrutiny. It is a "pro-tip" to keep your receipt or a printout of the TSA's "What Can I Bring?" page in your bag to help resolve any confusion quickly.
