Bright suns, Sharon!
I am so glad your cruiser landed back at planDisney. How exciting that your next light speed jump will land you in
Batuu! It truly is the best place to find the droids you are looking for.
After customizing your own Astromech Unit at the
Droid Depot, you will want to spend some time exploring Black Spire Outpost. Never underestimate a droid! Your new friend may surprise you as wonder the streets of this outpost. When my daughter built her droid, we also took advantage of the
PhotoPass opportunities and included her droid in all our pictures. Our
Memory Maker was then filled with special photos of our time in this galaxy far, far away!
Since your plans include exploring lands outside of Black Spire Outpost, a locker is a great place to keep your droid safe from the First Order until your departure from Batuu.
Lockers are located near Oscar's Service Center just inside the entrance of the park. Rentals range between $10 and $15 per day, depending on the size you choose. I would recommend you place your Droid in an open locker before you rent to make sure you choose the right size. You can then pick up your droid at the end of the day as you are leaving the park!
The Droid Depot also sells backpacks that allow you to carry your droid. Even if you don't plan to carry it during your visit, you may want to consider a backpack as a great way to safely store your droid at home when it is recharging. My daughter keeps her droid in her backpack when not in use so that it stays safe! You can add this to your purchase when you arrive at the depot.
Feel free to send another holographic message to planDisney if you have any additional questions as you chart a course for Batuu, Sharon!
May the force be with you! Angie
