We have a lot to share with you this week, so let’s jump right in…
August 29th is just around the corner! Which means so is the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Can you believe it?
Fantasmic! at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
In preparation for the opening, Disney has opened advance reservations for Oga’s Cantina, Savi’s Workshop, and Droid Depot. Another thing that Disney is doing to prepare (and to possibly help with crowd control) is offering two daily showings of Fantasmic!
Hey folks!! Today has been a day filled with stellar Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge news, hasn’t it?!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
You can now make reservations 180 days in advance for Savi’s Workshop, Droid Depot, and Oga’s Cantina in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. And as Disneyland announced a few weeks back, reservations can also be made 14 days in advance for its Savi’s and Oga’s locations! BUT that’s not all! Disney has JUST announced that advance reservations can now be made for Droid Depot in Disneyland too.
We’re counting down the days until Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge officially opens in Disney’s Hollywood Studios on August 29th!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney World
Now we’re even more excited for the immersive new land to open because reservations are now available for Oga’s Cantina, Savi’s Workshop, and Droid Depot! This is not a drill!
We are more than ready for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge to open THIS MONTH on August 29th, and now Hollywood Studios’ newest land is getting even more real.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
The land’s map is now live on the My Disney Experience app and on Disney World’s website!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge offers many opportunities for visitors to personalize their journeys on Batuu. From the Play Disney Parks app that allows guests to interact with the land to carrying the burden (or glory!) of your Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run results everywhere you go, Black Spire Outpost has tons to offer.
Droid Depot
And, one such exciting opportunity is found at Droid Depot where you can Build Your Own Droid! So, if you’re thinking about shelling out the cash to bring home your very own pet droid, we’ve got the step-by-step details on how YOU can make a Droid just for you. Roger, roger!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland Park
has opened its gates, and we’ve explored the planet of Batuu and its pock-marked village, Black Spire Outpost, to bring you the Ultimate Guide to this brand new land.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
The citizens of Batuu (a/k/a cast members!) use many unfamiliar expressions when interacting with each other and with guests. You might start your visit hearing “Bright suns”, which is Batuu for hello. “Till the Spire” is one way to say good-bye. But if you’re leaving Black Spire Outpost to return to Earth (i.e. Disneyland Park), you might hear a citizen ask if you’re “going off-world”.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
There are some Star Wars-themed expressions that contribute to the spirit and backstories of the land. [Read more…]
If you’re assimilating into the world of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and its village, Black Spire Outpost, you’re going to need a mechanical sidekick. And there’s a Droid Depot for that!
Droid Depot
Droid Depot is an industrial workshop with a collection of droid parts — and visitors can select from those parts to customize a droid of their very own! If you aren’t looking to customize and just want to pick a droid friend from a selection of premade droids, there are options for you as well.
You’ll have to decide if you want to build a droid from the BB-series (think BB-8-style) or from the R-series (like R2-D2). The depot’s clerk will hand you a blueprint and a basket before you move on to the Parts Station. [Read more…]
opens NEXT week! And to get us ready for this all-new experience, Disney has started to release lots of important information. Last week Disney went on menu MANIA by revealing menu options for Oga’s Cantina, the Milk Stand, Ronto Racers, and more! And now: we’ve got pricing on some droids!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Concept Art
The Droid Depot is one of many merch locations in the land and will offer all the parts, chips, manuals and more that guests will use to build their very own astromech droids! [Read more…]
