Droid Depot reservation alerts
Droid Depot lets you build your own custom astromech droid inside Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Build reservations are limited and popular, making them a tough slot to secure at Walt Disney World.

What you do at Droid Depot
Droid Depot is a hands-on build experience in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disney's Hollywood Studios. You pick parts from a conveyor belt and assemble your own remote-controlled astromech droid — either a BB-series or R-series unit — to take home.
It's one of the signature interactive experiences at Galaxy's Edge, booked as a timed build reservation rather than a meal.
Why Droid Depot build slots go fast
Each build station handles a limited number of guests per time slot, and Galaxy's Edge draws huge crowds. Popular times fill quickly, especially on weekends and during busy seasons.
Droid Depot or Savi’s Workshop?
These are the two build experiences in Galaxy’s Edge and they are constantly confused for each other, which leads to people setting an alert on the wrong one. Droid Depot is the droid build: you pick parts off a conveyor belt and leave with a remote-controlled astromech.
Savi’s Workshop is the lightsaber build — a longer, more ceremonial session with a fixed group, and it books out harder. If you want both, they are separate reservations and worth separate alerts.
How to catch an opening
Build slots reopen as guests change plans throughout the day. Park Drop watches Droid Depot continuously and alerts you the moment a slot matching your date, party size, and time window opens up.
Build slots turn over throughout the day as guests adjust plans. Set an alert above and we'll watch Droid Depot around the clock so you can grab the next opening.
Droid Depot reservation FAQs
Why is Droid Depot so hard to book?
Each build station takes only a few guests per slot and Galaxy's Edge is extremely popular, so the best times fill fast. Park Drop monitors for cancellations and newly opened slots 24/7.
When do Droid Depot reservations open?
Build reservations typically open 60 days in advance. Because slots go quickly, an alert is the most reliable way to catch a later opening.
Can Park Drop alert me when a Droid Depot slot opens?
Yes. Set your dates, party size, and time above, and we'll email and text you the moment a Droid Depot build reservation becomes available.
What happens at Droid Depot?
You build your own remote-controlled astromech droid — a BB-series or R-series unit — by choosing parts from a conveyor belt and assembling it at a build station, then take it home.
Do you need a park ticket for Droid Depot?
Yes. Droid Depot is inside Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disney's Hollywood Studios, so you'll need valid park admission for the day of your reservation.
What is the difference between Droid Depot and Savi’s Workshop?
Droid Depot is the droid build, where you select parts from a conveyor belt and assemble a remote-controlled astromech to take home. Savi’s Workshop is the lightsaber build, a longer and more ceremonial session that is harder to book. They are separate reservations in the same land, so you need an alert for each.
