#25 Building a Droid at Droid Depot (Galaxy's Edge)

For the holidays, David received a gift certificate to build a droid during our Winter 2024 trip! This has been on his wish list ever since our first trip, when he got to build PIK-R2.
Huge thanks to Cast Members Sierra and Giovanni, who made our experience amazing!

Agh! I was so sad when the kid thought that he had to use the the grey bottom part for the blue middle leg he was considering! He didn’t need the grey bottom part, that’s only for the longer legs! He looked like he liked it too

Cool little droid!

[@Doyle.Adventures]

Thanks! We think so too! We love how it turned out!

I'm 36 and I would probably have a blast building a droid. I'd probably stick with an Astromech R2.

Mom Dory here. I'm 39, and I secretly love when my kids do this because it's one of the coolest things to do in Disney. And I think going with a classic is always a good choice!

[@myvividmemories]

I’ve made an R unit (R3-FR) and a C unit (C-RTYN “Crayton”). Love em both, but if you’re gonna make a C unit, use the wheel central leg. That was one of my mistakes. Either way, don’t go with a BB. My friend made one. They’re really difficult to control and don’t last long at all.
(If you’re going to display your droid, take the batteries out so they don’t corrode.)

I like the c units

[@Doyle.Adventures]

Aren't they so cute with their shorter legs and different heads?

Great! 😅I built the same droid in November! 😮Have fun!😅

[@Doyle.Adventures]

No way! Droid twins!

[@gemamuniz3105]

Did you have this experience at Disney world or Disney land?

[@Doyle.Adventures]

This was at Disney World in Hollywood Studios (or as we still call it in our family - MGM)

[@CloneCaptainTrox]

I also am buying a BB series droid today from market place

[@Doyle.Adventures]

Very cool! My BB Grape has a mind of her own. Good luck... ;)

[@scratchingcamo5169]

Just curious what it cost?

[@TheSonyGuy1]

99 + tax at Disneyland and 120 + tax at Disney World

[@TheSonyGuy1]

Etsy has droid accessories

[@Doyle.Adventures]

That's a really good idea to get accessories once we get home!

[@CloneCaptainTrox]

I built a R C And BB Unit

[@Doyle.Adventures]

You got the complete set!

[@Blagsnok]

Make a lightsaber

[@Doyle.Adventures]

We did that on our first trip. That entire experience is spectacular, and I'll admit that I cried.

[@sirrex9982]

i suggest the name CR4B

[@Doyle.Adventures]

I love that idea! I'll pass it on to David to see what he thinks.
