Bright suns, Wesley, and thanks for bringing your question to
planDisney!
It sounds like you have plans to visit a galaxy far, far away, and I couldn’t be more excited for your journey!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is one of my favorite places to visit at
Disneyland Park. It’s such an immersive experience, from building your very own custom astromech droid unit at
Droid Depot, to becoming one with the Force as you build a custom lightsaber at
Savi’s Workshop – Handbuilt Lightsabers. I can’t wait for you to experience it all soon!
To help answer your question, I put a call in to Disneyland Resort’s
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Experiences in Southern California merchandise phone line. The Cast Member I spoke with said that if you were to purchase a personality chip from Droid Depot in advance, then the Cast Member helping you assemble your droid should be able to help you install the personality chip. However, if you have a custom chip, she said the Cast Member most likely won’t be able to install the chip for you. If this is the case, I recommend asking the Cast Member to show you where the personality chip will go, so that you can easily add it when you’re done with the building experience. I'm happy to report that when my son added a personality chip to his droid, it was a simple task!
As for shipping your lightsaber and droid unit to an address other than your own, that shouldn’t be an issue. The Cast Member I spoke with said you can head over to
First Order Cargo, located just across from
The Milk Stand, to have your items shipped. Just have all your shipping information on-hand so you can prep your shipments before being spotted by Kylo Ren!
I hope this information helps you plan your galactic travels to Black Spire Outpost, Wesley. Just let us know of any other questions, and we’ll do our best to get you an answer. We always enjoy helping fellow members of the Resistance!
May the Force be with you,
Kristin
