Hey there Scott,
Welcome to planDisney and thank you so much for your question! I'm happy to hear about your upcoming trip to the Happiest Place on Earth in just a few months!
Your little droid builder will be thrilled to hear that there are plenty of reservations still available at Droid Depot on October 6 and October 8. The best way to find the available times is to visit the
Droid Depot page on the Disneyland Resort website, select "
Check Available Days," then follow the prompts to pick your day and time.
My son made his very own droid on a recent trip we took as a family - he had such a blast. My suggestion would be to look up images of the different droid types to get an idea of what you all might want to build before you show up for your build time. There are quite a few options and my son had a bit of analysis paralysis when we arrived!
You'll have the option to pick from a BB-Series (like BB-8 from Star Wars: The Force Awakens), a C-Series (like C1-10P, aka "Chopper" from Star Wars: Rebels - this is what my son chose and we love it!), or an R-Series (like R2-D2 from...well, all of them). There are also different customization pieces available for an additional purchase like personality chips. Finally, make sure to keep your new droid out when walking around
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge to hear fun interactions with other droids around the area!
Thanks again for your question, Scott. I hope you have a wonderful time on your trip!
Have a Magical Day,
Greg
