Droid Depot Overview
- Location: Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge (Disney World and Disneyland)
- Store Type: Custom Droids and Droid Accessories
- Price: $ - $$$$ (Some cheaper items but also very expensive ones)
The Droid Depot is a shop in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, but it's more than that. Much like Savi's Workshop, the Droid Depot is an experience in itself, and Disney even has it listed under: "attractions" on the park guide map.
Building a droid in Galaxy’s Edge is always one of the highlights of a visit either in Disney World or Disneyland!
The custom-built droids here are so cool! You pick the parts, you assemble the droid, then you take it home, it's that simple! There is a certain level of personal touch and a bond you will share with your droid, no matter which type you choose.
There are also a bunch of droid-inspired accessories like personality chips which will make your new friend, even more special.
(UPDATE) Disney Increases Price of Custom Droids at Droid Depot
You may have already been aware of the steep price increases around the Disney parks of late, and sadly if you want to build a custom droid in Galaxy’s Edge on your next vacation, it’s going to cost a bit more.
The price of a custom-built droid at Droid Depot in Disney’s Hollywood Studios is now $129.99 plus tax, an increase of $10 from the previous price of $119.99 plus tax. At Disneyland, the current price is $119.99 plus tax.
The $129.99 price at Hollywood Studios includes your choice of a classic R-series or BB-series droid that you build and customize yourself, plus a remote control and the standard carrying box with instructions.
Personality-affiliation chips, carrying backpacks, and other accessories are available for an additional charge. There is also a $197 bundle that includes one custom droid, one carrying backpack, and one personality chip.
By now we are used to the annual price increases from Disney, and we expected this with inflation out of control and prices rising all over the place. Still, paying an extra $10 still hurts.
We’ll let you know as soon as there are any more price updates at the Droid Depot. Keep reading to learn more about the custom droid-building experience and if it’s still worth it after the price has gone up.
Current Droid Models at Disney World and Disneyland
When Droid Depot first opened in 2019, guests could choose between the classic R-series droids such as R2-D2 and the BB-series droids made famous by BB-8 in the newer Star Wars trilogy films.
At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disney currently lists two custom-build options: R-series and BB-series droids.
Disneyland currently has a broader selection, with R-series, BB-series, C-series, and A-LT-series droids listed as custom-build options. Models, colors, and individual parts remain subject to availability and can change without notice.
Location/Directions
Droid Depot is really easy to find as it's located right along the main Street in Star Wars Land, across the way from the speeders garage in both Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disneyland Park.
It's located right next door to another awesome shop, Savi's Workshop, which is where you go to build a lightsaber. If you want to build your own droid, however, the Droid Depot is the place to be!
Hours of Operation
Droid Depot generally opens and closes with Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, but the exact hours vary with the operating schedule for Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Check the official Droid Depot listing or the My Disney Experience app for the hours on the date of your visit.
What is Droid Depot? Story and Theming
The Droid Depot is run by a tech-savvy Utai named Mubo who wants to share his knowledge of droid-building with his visitors. Of course, he's never in the shop, but his staff is and they are very knowledgeable and can help you choose the right droid for you.
Droids are a huge part of Galaxy's Edge and even before you enter the Droid Depot, is very clear where you are just by looking at the outside of the building and all the droids located there.
These are the ones out back behind the Droid Depot:
You'll probably recognize these R-series Astromech Droids which have been in many of the Star Wars films throughout the years.
There are four audio-animatronic droids lined up outside that you can interact with while you're waiting to enter. They beep and make all sorts of noises and it's a very popular spot for pictures, one of the most Instagrammable places in Star Wars Land!
Let's go inside and take a look:
This is not a regular shop or what you might think of for "toy" droids. The Droid Depot is a highly-themed environment that will make you stare around in amazement while looking at all the crazy details throughout the room.
There are droids everywhere, of every size and shape and you'll find lots of audio-animatronic droids moving around in the background and on the walls.
Wait Times and Reservations
Like just about every attraction, shop, and restaurant in Galaxy’s Edge, Droid Depot can be crowded during busier times of the year. Walk-ins may be accommodated based on availability, but if you already know you want to build a droid at Disney World, we highly recommend making a reservation before you go.
Here is some important information about Droid Depot reservations at Walt Disney World:
- Advance reservations are highly recommended and can generally be made up to 60 days in advance.
- Limited same-day reservations may be available up to 2 hours in advance, and walk-ins may also be accommodated depending on availability.
- The experience area is limited to one droid builder and one guest.
- At least one person in the party must be 14 years old or older.
- Separate admission to Disney’s Hollywood Studios is required, and a theme park reservation may also be required depending on your admission type.
- Reservations are nontransferable and may not be sold or bartered.
- Check in no earlier than 15 minutes before your reservation. Everyone in the party must be present, and late arrivals may not be accommodated.
- Be prepared to show your reservation confirmation, photo ID, and the credit card used to book.
- Droid Depot has a 24-hour cancellation policy. If you cancel within one day of the reservation or fail to show up, you will be charged the full price.
Disneyland currently handles its Droid Depot building experience through walk-ins rather than advance reservations.
How to Make Reservations
For Walt Disney World, check availability on the official Droid Depot page or use the My Disney Experience app.
A valid credit card is required, and full payment is due at the time of booking.
Droid Types
Droid Depot also sells model kits, pre-made droids, premium droids, and other merchandise, but the main experience is building your own custom astromech unit.
At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, there are currently two custom droid types:
- R-series – the classic R2-D2-style droids from the original films.
- BB-series – small, round droids made famous by BB-8 in the newer trilogy.
TIP: Both series are cool, but if you are looking for the most accessory options, the R-series generally has more available for it.
The experience, models, colors, and parts are subject to change without notice, so it’s possible that a certain part or color may be unavailable during your visit.
These droids use Bluetooth® technology to communicate with other astromech units and certain elements and objects on Batuu and at Disney Parks and Resorts.
Droid Pricing and Cost
So all of this sounds awesome, but how much does it cost to build a droid in the Droid Depot? Here is the current pricing and what comes with your droid:
- $129.99 per custom astromech droid unit, plus tax, at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
- $119.99 per custom droid, plus tax, at Disneyland
- Remote control, carry box, and instructions are included with the standard custom droid.
- Personality-affiliation chips, carrying backpacks, and other accessories cost extra.
- Bundle Package – $197: Includes one custom droid, one carrying backpack, and one personality chip.
- Nonrefundable – custom astromech droid units are nonrefundable, so choose wisely.
- Discounts – Annual Passholder and other discounts do not apply to the custom droid itself. The carrying backpack is eligible for a 20% Annual Passholder discount.
Building one of the customized droid units at Droid Depot costs $129.99, plus tax, at Disney World. That price includes the remote control, instructions, and standard carrying box.
That’s a high price, but honestly, I was expecting more, especially after seeing how much the lightsabers from Savi’s Workshop cost.
However, that price is without any of the accessories, personality chips, or carrying backpacks, which can all add up fast. The $197 bundle is an easy way to get the droid, backpack, and personality chip together, while a fully decked-out droid can still set you back $200-300 if you add even more customization.
But the customizable droids aren’t the only ones you can buy in the Droid Depot, if you’ve brought your American Express Platinum Card with you Disney is selling full-size remote-controlled R2-D2 droids that you can fully customize to your liking. It looks and acts just like it in the Star Wars movies. It’s selling for a meager: **$25,000.**
I’m sure it’s awesome but I’ll be sticking with the normal $129.99 version thanks.
Paying
If you made an advance reservation, full payment was collected when you booked. After checking in, confirm which droid series you want before heading to the parts station. Walk-in guests will pay before beginning the building process.
Now let's find out how to build a droid in Star Wars Land!
Building your Droid
Once you pay, you will be given the blueprints to build your droid, and a basket to collect the parts in. Once you have these things, head over to the parts station to start the building process.
Parts Station
Once you select the type of droid you want, you'll choose from a variety of different droid parts which come to you on a conveyor belt. Each style of droid has 4 different customizable parts to choose from:
BB-Series
- Dome
- Dome Connection Plate
- Body Sphere
- Motivator
R-Series
- Dome
- Body
- Center Leg
- Set of Side-Legs
It's such a cool experience to stand there and watch all the different droid parts go by on the belt. You can pick each one up, examine it, and look at the colors.
There are tons of different styles for each part type, so mix and match however you like. Just make sure you choose one style for each part type.
Don't worry, if you don't know what to do, there are graphics there in front of you with instructions.
Once you finish, it's time to put it all together...
Build Station
Building a droid is easy. Just follow the directions on the “placemat” in front of you, or up on the monitor displays which will walk you through putting it all together in the right order.
Once again, it looks harder than it actually is, but there are easy-to-follow instructions at your droid assembly table to follow, and cast members are available if you get stuck.
Droid Activation
Once you've completed building your droid, the coolest part of the whole experience is next...activation!
The cast member gives you a remote control which you can use to activate it and watch it come alive and then start using it!
While I wouldn't put it on the same level as igniting your lightsaber from Savi's Workshop for the first time, it is a really cool moment to see your droid come alive and start interacting with you!
You'll notice the bag the droid is being carried out with. You won't see any standard Disney-themed bags in Galaxy's Edge, they are trying to keep everything "in-universe" so expect to find unique bags like if you were really in that world.
The droids are another potential game-breaking piece of merchandise which fans have been going to go crazy over like the Banshees in Pandora: The World of Avatar. Let's hope they keep making enough of them to keep the people happy!
How Long Does It Take to Build a Droid at Galaxy's Edge?
The hands-on assembly and activation can take less than 15 minutes when there is no wait, but we recommend allowing about 30 minutes for the complete experience, including check-in, choosing parts, building, and activation.
You can take your time choosing the pieces you want, and Cast Members are available to help if you need them.
What Can You Do with the Droids?
Disney designed the custom-built droids to interact with their surroundings in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. They use Bluetooth technology to respond to certain elements and objects throughout Batuu and can also communicate with other astromech droids.
You must carry your droid in its standard box, the optional carrying backpack, or another secure case while inside the theme parks. Even though you cannot operate the remote control in the park, your droid can still beep, move, and react to parts of Black Spire Outpost while you carry it around.
If you purchase a personality chip, your droid will take on that affiliation and react differently to its surroundings. Available personalities may favor the Resistance, the First Order, or an independent/scoundrel alignment.
What about Interactive Droids?
In the original plans, part of the theming of Galaxy's Edge was supposed to include fully-functional droid units roaming around the land and interacting with people. That has been cut from the project as of now due to safety concerns and budget cuts and is one of my only disappointments with the land.
However, there is still the possibility that Disney will introduce automatic roving droids at some point in the future. One of the effects was supposed to be that custom droids from Droid Depot were going to be able to interact with the roaming ones!
If and when Disney decides to implement this technology, that will make getting a droid even more special. Who knows what other technology Disney has in store that they'll be interacting with.
Droid Accessories
The custom droids themselves are pretty awesome, but there are a bunch of cool accessories you can also choose from for an additional cost. Some of them include:
- Droid Carrying Backpacks
- Personality Chips
- Droid Decals
Droid Carrying Backpacks
One of the coolest and most convenient accessories for your custom droid is the Droid Depot backpack. These make carrying your new little friend around the park much easier and unlike the droids, they are eligible for an Annual Pass discount.
Droid carrying backpacks can be purchased for an additional cost of $49.99. They are eligible for Annual Passholder discounts which reduces the cost by 20%.
Personality Chips
Even though your custom-built Star Wars droid already interacts with the environment in Galaxy’s Edge, you can take this to another level by adding a personality chip.
Personality chips change the droid’s sounds, affiliation, and how it reacts to parts of the land. They can be removed and replaced, so it’s possible to have multiple chips for the same droid. The available selection changes, but options may favor the Resistance, the First Order, or an independent/scoundrel alignment.
Personality chips are available for both R-series and BB-series droids and cost $14.99.
Adding one to your droid is easy. Open the access panel, insert the chip into the empty slot, and you’re good to go!
Other Accessories
Besides personality chips, additional accessories may be available for R-series units. These can include decals, decorative panels, and other interchangeable pieces, which is something to keep in mind when deciding between the two droid models.
Droid Rules in Galaxy's Edge
Though droids can interact with various elements in Star Wars Land, it's important to note that there are some rules guests have to follow.
Can You Drive the Droids?
The Astromech Units are remote-controlled, but Disney prohibits guests from using the remote control to operate them inside the theme parks. The only exception is the designated driving area.
You’ll need to carry your droid in the included carrying box, the optional backpack, or another secure case while exploring Galaxy’s Edge. The droid can still use Bluetooth technology to interact with certain elements and other astromech units while being carried.
While I understand the safety reasons, this is still a disappointment to many guests visiting Droid Depot. It would be dangerous to have hundreds of droids moving around everyone’s feet, but it’s a shame you can’t drive your new friend around Batuu.
Designated Testing Area
If you really want to put your new custom droid down on the ground and race him around, Disney has installed a designated droid testing area near the Coca-Cola stand. There is a hard plastic mat that is now available for guests to test their new droids on.
Help with Operating Your Droid
"But I can't figure out how to use my droid." "How do I change the batteries?" These are all common questions that will come up after purchasing one of the astromech droid units.
Cast members in the Droid Depot will be more than happy to help answer any questions you have about building a droid or resolve any problems you run into.
If you need further help here are the official Droid Depot droid instruction manuals:
Droid Depot FAQs
Custom-built droids cost $129.99 plus tax at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and $119.99 plus tax at Disneyland. Disney World also offers a $197 bundle with one custom droid, one carrying backpack, and one personality chip.
Advance reservations are highly recommended at Walt Disney World and can generally be made up to 60 days ahead. Limited same-day reservations and walk-ins may be available. Disneyland currently accepts walk-ins rather than advance reservations.
Yes, but you cannot use the remote control to drive your droid while inside the theme parks. Carry it in the included box, the optional backpack, or another secure case, and it can still interact with certain surroundings and other droids through Bluetooth technology. The only exception is the designated testing area.
No Annual Passholder discount applies to the custom droid itself. However, the $49.99 carrying backpack is eligible for a 20% Annual Passholder discount.
Yes, absolutely. You can continue adding compatible parts, personality chips, and other accessories to customize your droid.
Personality chips cost $14.99, and the Droid Depot carrying backpack costs $49.99. Selection and availability can change.
If you don’t want to purchase a Droid Depot backpack or use the standard carrying box included with your droid, you are welcome to use another secure carrying case.
Disney officially recommends the experience for ages 3 and older. Any kid who loves Star Wars may enjoy building a droid, but in our opinion, children around age 5 and up will probably get the most enjoyment from the complete experience.
Is Building a Droid Worth It?
Everyone wants to know if building your own droid in Galaxy’s Edge is worth it. The answer totally depends on how much you like droids and how big your budget is for your vacation. Honestly, $129.99 is a lot for a toy, but to us, the experience inside Droid Depot is so cool that it helps make up for the high cost.
You are getting a toy, yes, but it is super cute and can be used either as a decoration piece you keep on your shelf, or it can even be used with the remote and played with on a consistent basis.
We think they are a blast to play with and they are a big hit with kids!
Ultimately we think it's worth it to build a droid in Galaxy's Edge and it's one of the coolest experiences you will have during your visit.
Should I Build a Droid or a Lightsaber from Savi's Workshop?
This is a much tougher question and we think it depends a lot on your audience and how old they are.
Even though both experiences are really cool, we personally like the custom lightsaber experience better than building a droid. That's because Savi's Workshop is more geared towards adults, whereas the Droid Depot might be appreciated more by kids.
Savi's has everything though, including a storytelling element and a huge "Wow" factor involved that will impress young and old alike.
The lightsaber itself doesn't feel like a toy. It's heavy and made of strong materials. On the other hand, the droids are clearly toys.
That said to build a lightsaber is twice the price at $275+, and I can understand if not everyone has that kind of money to spend on a souvenir. However, if you can afford it, building a lightsaber is hands down the better of the two in my opinion.

If you enjoyed this article, as always I appreciate it if you'd share it with others via social media. I work hard at making this website into a useful resource for you and your family to plan your visit to the Disney Parks and I hope it can help you! Thanks 🙂
My name is Ziggy and I love Disney, everything Disney! I grew up on Disney and it has and continues to be a huge part of my life. I started young when my parents took me to Disney World when I was 18 months old. Little did they know that would be the first of an uncountable number of trips we would take. I have so many amazing memories going to Disney with my family and friends and it has been interwoven into my DNA.
Hi! Do you know how much the Blue Backpack Carry Case costs? And the personality chips?
Hi Vicky, thanks for the comment! So the personality chips are $12.99 and the Backpack is $39.99. The backpack is hard to find so you're not guaranteed that it will be there when you visit so I would look right away when you get there!

I would build a B series droid. Make her purple. My question is how long will the battery last or whatever brings the droid to life. Also, how easy will it be to replace.
Hi Kelly thanks for the comment! That's a good question about battery life, I haven't heard anything about this yet so I'd be interested to know that too. The battery pack is inside and you can replace them easily
SO my friend has one and hasnt needed to replace battery in almost a year.. Otherwise to replace battery they are accessible by removing screws (+).. Generarally are toward the bottom of the unit.

I love the droid I built but didn't know about some of the other add-ons (like the decals. Ugh!). Also, the left button on my remote isn't working. Doesn't anyone know what to do when they give you a remote that isn't fully functioning?
How do you turn the droid off and on? I know the remote has a switch but mine now won’t work and I am thinking that it maybe ran out of battery???
Hi Elizabeth, thanks for your comment. The droid turns off from the inside so you have to open it then flip the switch. Hope that helps
My son has a bb unit. For those you open the body and there is a switch on the motivator. The battery case is also on the motivator.
exactly, thanks J
From a video I watched on YouTube, there is one button that on
Y does something with certain add-ones, which plug in on the legs.
I purchase my BB8 and R2D2 but got chip for only one how can I purchase a chip now...
What kind of droid did you get I'm curious..
No I don't know what to say if the droid controller isn't working right, it's difficult since the reservation system is still up. Do you live near DL? Can you go back and ask?
@R0-D0, download the Droid depot app and sync it to your phone

Is there any way I can get specifics on the droid dimensions or the backpack carrying case for them? I’m going to make my own backpack. Thanks!
Droid is just over 1 foot tall, not sure about the width but the BB series is probably a good 8-9 inches wide

Hello! I have a Galaxy’s Edge Droid and I can not seem to find any manual or operating instructions online anywhere. We can no figure out how to wake the droid from sleep mode? The end of the instructions that came with him say “will not go to sleep if not activated for 5 minutes.” But say nothing how to bring it out of sleep mode?
Hi Emily,
Turning the droid on and off wakes it up from sleep mode, but that seems like a really awkward way to do it. If anyone knows another way, I will watch this space!
Oops -- meant turning it off and then on again . . .
The sleep mode is very frustrating, it seems like if you don’t use it for 5 minutes it goes into sleep mode and the only way to wale it up is to pull the whole thing apart and turn it off and on again. Is there a fix to this maybe when you buy a personality chip? Otherwise it’s a terrible design flaw
I just got home and am having the same problem. Wondering how I wake it without turning it on or off. The CM was talking and pushing the button but it was really noisey and I couldn't hear a lot. Also how far back do I tilt R2-52 back?

Hi I’ve been looking around on the internet but can’t find prices for accessories, can you tell me the prices please?
Hi Levi, thanks for the question. So the personality chips are $12.99 and the Backpack is $39.99
Are the personality chips and backpack can be purchased online?
What about the other accessories? You said A fully decked-out droid will set you back $200-300 easy if you really want to customize it. other than those two items and some decals what can you get?
Hi James!
There are light-up rocket boosters for the r-units that cost $18.
There are also light-up blasters for the r-units that I think also cost $18.

The droid won’t go forward or backward because one of the legs is not working. I changed all the batteries and that didn’t help. What can I do!
Guys, how to reactivate a BB8 in sleep mode? Instructions says it goes to sleep after 5 mins but did not mention how to bring it back. (I don‘t comment on this ?). Thx for help
My little brother got a BB unit today! To wake it from sleep mode, just turn it off then back on again!
Hello, I purchased the pre-built R2 unit and was told that the accessories work with it. I’m having trouble attaching the R-series jet attachments to the legs. Any help please? Thanks
Can u build an R-5 unit (cone shaped head? Not a big deal if you cant I just prefer it over the R2.
We are going next summer, my son and I are going to build it together.
https://todaysmama.com/traveling-with-kids/star-wars-galaxys-edge-at-disneyland-planning-tips
Went opening day (8/28/19) in Disneyworld and this is what exactly the options you have.
Yes you can!
@Marcus,
Yes I have an r5. Itnis orange and black, filled decked with decals and a 3d printed retaining bolt.
If you have a reservation to build the droids will you automatically be allowed entry into Galaxy's Edge and bypass the stand by line to enter the area? Example: we arrive at the park early am and spend our allotted 4 hours in Galaxy's Edge by 12pm. Our reservation for droid building isn't until 2pm. Will we be allowed re-entry for our 2pm reservation?
If not, what do you recommend we do if we have a reservation at 2pm in the afternoon other than wait in line all day until the right time....LOL?
How strict are they on the one guest per builder rule? Our family is two adults and one child, and we just wondered whether both parents will be allowed to watch our child build a droid.
They are very strict rule to one builder one guest, which I understood due to spacing of the building station. My sister and my brother-in-law has to draw straw to go with my nephew.
What's the overall dimensions of the R2 series droid? I've read its about a foot tall, what about width (with legs), just wondering if fit OK in a suitcase while travelling back home via Flight.
Can you buy personality chips and other accessories online? I already bought a droid and all the accessories they had at Disneyland at the time but they had no personality chips available nor serving trays. Let me know
My daughter and I went to the park on Sunday 8-25-19 hoping to get a personality chip for her droid as we read that they were back in stock on the 19th. Alas, when we arrived, no more chips. Is there a "real time" way to determine if the chios are back in stock or get previous notice as to when they are expected back?

We are arriving Nov 24 and leaving Dec 3. When I attempt to book an appointment there are no dates past October.. what does this mean? Will they be added at a later time? Please let me know.. Thank you!! Tracy
Are the personality chips the same for the r unit and b unit? I plan the get one of each when we go to Disneyworld in December.
I believe they are. My nephew and I got the R-unit and my niece got the BB-unit and the personality chips are the same.
My r2 unit always falls over when he starts moving.
Anyone else having this issue?
Yes. My husband and son are having this same issue. Can’t seem to figure out what is wrong.
Hi! We are looking at doing thie droid build next week and i am wondering how much do they weight? Thank you!
Yes I will be building an. R2D2 . I will be there in September around the 19 . How can I tell the difference between the difference in the personal chips ?
Thank You Ken Gattie
Yes we want to build an R2D2 droid while visiting from New Zealand in November. I love Star Wars and my handsome white shepherd dog is called Anakin and I am sure he will be fascinated with the droid.
Hi
I have recently built a droid at the depot and I must say he is amazing.
We are ack home in the UK now and I am wondering if your able to purchase the optional extras such as personality chips etc online?
Any help on this would be great, thank you.
IO built an R2 series droid on Sept 19. It was about 10 AM but it seems the cast members there were already bored. If you plan to drive thew droid around the house consider the BB series because the small wheels of the R2 do not like carpets. I bought the Jet Attachments accessory which adds lights and noise when the controller option button is pushed. However, I had to glue the blue exhaust pieces in because they kept falling out. I never saw the personality modules and don't know where to get them now besides E-Bay at twice the price.
What is not mentioned by the building assist cast members is that it is possible to have the unit taken to the stroller rental site at the front of the park for later pickup. I was told about it by a cashier when I asked about lockers. Take the Droid to the First Order store and they will process it.
Based on on-line articles it is hard to determine the differences in the personality chips. The symbols on the box are a guide but not specific.
If you purchase more than one droid will the droids ultimately interact with one another. say when you bring them home, or do they only interact with the droids that are stationed around the park?
What type of batteries do the droid and remote take?
We will be building three droids ($$$)!! Do we have to carry them all around for the rest of the day or do they offer resort delivery like other purchases?
They Offer resort delivery or you can have them sent to front of park and pick up as you exit
is there an app to control the droids from droid depot?
I’m having problems opening my bb droid what should I do
I tried twisting the parts but nothing happened
Please answer the question "can personality chips be ordered on line." My son purchased a droid but was not able to purchase the chip at the time he built the droid. He does not live near Either of the parks so will not be able to purchase the chip at Galaxies Edge for quite some time. He is also interested in additional accessories.
I'm planning on building an R5 unit during my visit.
I'm curious though, since I live in the UK. Has anyone had any trouble bringing the droids back through customs?
Any help would be greatly appreciated so I can plan in advance.
you said “A fully decked-out droid will set you back $200-300 easy if you really want to customize it.” Other than the backpack and personality chips and decals what other accessories are available for the different types, what do they do? And can any of these be purchased online after we leave?
Has anyone figured if/how to purchase accessories online, other than eBay?
I built an R-series. Black body , black side legs, black center leg, transparent black dome, red highlights, scoundrel personality chip, and blasters.
She's R3-V0, but I usually just call her Vee-oh.
I want to build my own droid and I made plans for it but i know they dont have the right colours. Am I able to take the inside motor out and just have the outside shells? And is the plastic a good material to spray paint?
My daughter just built a R4 and we got also got a bag and two additional personality chips (there were 6 additional ones to choose from - 2 rebel alliance, 2 first order, and 2 smuggler). There were additional tools for the R units, but we didn’t buy them, figuring if we wanted them later on, we’d buy them online. I haven’t been able to find any accessories online. Can you buy stuff online or do you have to buy stuff at Galaxy’s Edge locations only?
I have seen some things on EBAY for premium prices but have yet to see anything direct from Disney. When I built my R2 unit in September I missed seeing the personality chips but I did get the rocket boosters that attach to the main legs. The upper red option button on the remote causes them to light up and sound like a rocket booster. I did not buy the overpriced decal pack but found that colored electrical tape fits pretty well in the depressions on the body.
G'day, I just got myself an R2 unit and it goes so fast my dog Willeh can't catch it
we just home with our new R Unit. Everything is great EXCEPT the SOUND isn't working anymore. is there something to do to get it working again?
Good question Barry. I haven't heard of the sound not working on the R Units yet, so I'm not sure how to fix it. I would try calling guest services and see if they can point you in the right direction
Is there somewhere you can "hold" your Droid after completion and pick up later? Or do you need to carry around the park for the rest of the day. Wondering if I should make as late of an appointment as possible....
One option is if you are staying in a WDW resort, you can have it shipped to your room. You just can't do it at the end of your vacation or there won't be enough time. Allow 2 days
You can leave the droid with the check-in staff- They will hold it until the park closes each night.
Hello! Nice post by the way! I just wanted to know if you can pay with cash at the Droid Depot to build a droid? Thank you!
-L
They take cash and CC. I had Visa gift cards that I got for Christmas and paid for mine with that.
Thank you! ??
What Jeremy said is correct. They take cash, CC, gift cards and MagicBands
Thanks for the compliment, I'm glad you like it and I hope it helped!!
Just another quick question: do the droids react to the other lands in Disneyland or just Galaxy's Edge?
Thanks!

I got a BB unit last weekend and today I was using it when it went into sleep mode while I was driving it. Does this mean that the batteries are dead? If so, has anyone else experienced this? How often do the batteries generally need to be replaced?
The answer was yes, the batteries were dying. So I got some rechargeable batteries. They are back to working great!
Can I buy a separate head for my R2 unit?
Are you in need of herbal treatment herpes? Are you in need of herbal treatment for erectile dysfunction? Are you in need of spell to get your ex-lover?
Are you in need of spell to get a child? Do you need help to get promoted in office or business? e.t.c.. his email again is (robinsonbucler @gmail.com) thank you..?????
1 wheel quit working day after I got it home, any ideas what could be the problem?
We have a lost controller. Anyone know if we can buy another controller somewhere? And, if for some reason we can, will it connect to the unit - or will we need to take back next trip to Disney to get the controller to "talk" to unit?
Thanks so much for this article! I am going to be getting a custom droid the next time I am going to WDW! I wish they had more color patterns, though. Other than that, I can't wait to get a custom droid!
I am putting this question here but it was spawned by the recent repeat of your article about Savi's Workshop for building a light sabre. I was at Disneyland in September of 2019 and built an R2 style droid. I did not see the alternate personality chips then but I did buy the rocket pack accessory. My question: Is there a place other than over priced Ebay to purchase the chips without having to go back to a Galaxy's Edge? I have checked the online Disney store and can't find them. Suggestions?
I was at Disneyland in September of 2019 and built an R series droid It was $99 plus tax so I don't think the 20 percent price increase after three years, considering the inflation rate, is that bad and more reasonable than other Disney price increases. I goofed while building it and did not put on the covers to the two horizontal "ports" just under the dome and have no idea how I could get them. I did get the rocket pack accessory but missed the personality chips and again wish they were available in an online Disney store. I don't know if Disney still offers the service but I was able to take my droid over to the store near the Millennial Falcon and have it taken to the stroller depot for later pickup and not have to carry it all day.
I am surprised that an updated droid is not available yet, Perhaps with a camera like an inexpensive drone so it could be driven thru a first per view trip. And maybe able to reproduce recorded sounds via the blue tooth link.
Hello! I was wondering, do you happen to know/think that Disney will bring back separate droid parts to purchase at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland? I went recently to Disneyland and they told me the onely way to get more droid parts was to build a brand new droid. Thanks in advance for your help!!
