Bright Suns, Erin! Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
I’m so excited to hear you’ll soon be landing on the planet of Batuu in
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at the Walt Disney World Resort. I loved exploring Black Spire Outpost, and
Droid Depot was one of my favorite places in the land, because there are so many things to see in the shop, and the Cast Members there are wonderful. I spent a LOT of time saying “squeeee!” with the Cast Members as we looked at and played with the droids on display. You’re going to love it!
When you build a droid, you’ll be assigned a station where you’ll assemble your droid as you move through the building process. I checked with a Cast Member to see whether it would be better for you to make a reservation for two and then build both droids simultaneously, or to make two back-to-back reservations so you can build one at a time. The Cast Member said either way works, so it’s really up to you.
Once your droids are built, you’ll be able to carry them throughout Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and watch them interact with various elements in the land. It’s really cool! Be sure to ask questions of the Cast Members in Droid Depot, as they may be able to give you some tips on places you’ll definitely want to take your droid.
Erin, since you’re soon to be a Droid Mom, I think you’ll enjoy
this fun Disney Parks Blog article about the Droids of Batuu. I hope you have a blast living your Star Wars adventure this fall – may the Force be with you!
‘Til the Spire,
Robyn
