Bright Suns, Bailey!
Welcome to planDisney. I see you will soon be traveling to the planet Batuu, at the edge of the galaxy. This wondrous planet offers amazing experiences like piloting the Millennium Falcon, sipping blue milk, and shopping for items that you can only find in a galaxy far, far away. One of my favorite experiences is building your own custom droid at the Droid Depot. Let’s get to your question, and I can tell you more about it.
Alrighty, so you will need to split your party into two reservations. You can do this in any combination you would like. I spoke with a cast member, and they informed me that the system will not allow you to book multiple reservations on the same account for the same time. To accommodate your entire party, it is best to have multiple people with My Disney Experience accounts each book a reservation. If there are no exact times, select the next closest time. If they are close enough together, the entire party may be accommodated at the same time. Although not mandatory, you can check availability and book your experience using the following link for the
Droid Depot webpage. You can also use the
My Disney Experience app to search for Droid Depot; it will take you to the information page, where you can make a reservation.
One of the neatest features of owning your droid is that it uses Bluetooth technology to communicate with other astromech droid units and with certain other elements and objects on Batuu and at
Disney Parks and Resorts. I found it a lot of fun just walking around the land with my droid to see the different ways it interacted with areas as well as other travelers' droids.
Bailey, I hope that your family has a magical time building their very own astromech droids. Please hyperspace back by if you have any further questions, and my fellow Jedi panelist will be happy to assist you.
May the Force be with you,
Robert
