Where else on Earth can you walk into a shop and casually build your own droid like you're shopping…read morefor IKEA furniture in a galaxy far, far away? Droid Depot is half toy store, half mad scientist lab, and 100% Disney Imagineering showing off. History check: Droid Depot opened with Galaxy's Edge in 2019 as part of Disney's billion-dollar Star Wars gamble. Instead of just slapping stormtroopers on a roller coaster, they decided to let fans literally become part of the universe. So here you are, crouched over a conveyor belt, grabbing droid parts like a Jawa at a garage sale. The process is ridiculously fun: pick your style (R-series like R2-D2, or BB-series like BB-8), snag your mismatched panels, and then bring your creation to life with a builder's station that makes you feel like a tech wizard. Suddenly, you've got a little robot buddy that chirps, beeps, and follows commands like a caffeinated Roomba. Is it overpriced? Yeah. This is Disney. You're basically paying $120+ for the privilege of building a very fancy toy. But the experience is the real payoff. Kids light up like they've just been knighted by Obi-Wan, and adults (yes, even cynical ones) can't stop grinning when their droid whirs to life. Pro tip: spring for the personality chip so your droid reacts differently in the park. It's like giving your robot a bad attitude or Jedi wisdom, depending on your mood. And the puns write themselves: this is the R2-me of theme park souvenirs. It's the only gift shop where you can say, "I came in for a churro and left with a droid." You'll roll out with your new robot bestie and suddenly feel like the proud parent of a metal toddler. Droid Depot is one of those must-do, bucket-list Disney experiences. It's not just a shop, it's a rite of passage. You're not buying a droid -- you're adopting one. And honestly, who wouldn't want their own beep-booping sidekick?

Build a droid! The build itself is relatively simple but you get to customize what kind of style…read moreyou want - the R2/R5 or BB style, and pick your colors. When it's busy, you'll need a reservation. We went early when the bulk of people were rope dropping so it was quieter and easier to get in without a wait. One thing I would say - do this last actually if you can help it, even with a custom pack, the robot is heavy, and you don't want to be hauling this around the park all day long. They'd do well with some storage around here. The cast member will help you pick out the right set of pieces, and another will guide you through and then activate the droid with you. Definitely something to do for hardcore fans. For the rest, you can buy a pre-built version from the wall and have a much simpler time about it. It's a fun toy for the BB, though, you get the same motion and set of abilities as the rolling BB in the movie, without any grappling hooks or intel. You can pay extra for different voice chips. I do wish the remote was a little more sensitive and better labeled (a different kind of remote but I guess the old "nintendo" style brick was ok. It was $127.79 with tax for the base build.

Horrible customer service. I'm giving this store location a 2 because there were items that i found…read morethat I liked, so the inventory was good. But the people working there suck. I wanted to purchase a huge mirror from the back of the store. So I asked the lady who works in the fitting room if she could call someone to assist me. She barely spoke English and said no, ask someone in the front. Ok... So I walk to the front of the store and ask the lady who works by the door..."hi, is there any way you could call someone to assist me with picking up a mirror in the back?" She said "no, look at how busy we are. Not right now." I then said, ok, is there a cart or something that I can put the mirror on and roll it here because it's heavy?" She said "we don't have carts, just use a regular shopping cart" Which wasn't much help because the ones that were available were the very small ones that don't fit anything in. I have just never heard of a store not being able to assist with something. God forbid I would've picked up the mirror by myself , shattered it everywhere and someone got hurt...they would have had a lawsuit on their hands. Any other location would've helped me roll it on a cart and kept it in the front for me until I checked out, so I didn't have to go through the extremely long line with it in my hands. Needless to say, I won't be back. There are other places I much rather spend my money at.

This place has plenty of supplies for both! I like that they have standard products that will always be around, but also offer seasonal and holiday items as well. You first have to make it past the fun decor displays to get to the crafting stuff. This is where I got caught up and left with a framed bathroom sign (see pic) for our daughter's bathroom. So cute!! They have regular vinyl sales and that really helps out with keeping my crafting costs down. I try to get standard colors when they are on sale so I have stock. They get really good low prices on seasonal / holiday items right before the holiday happens and just after it ends. Get some storage and same 'em for the next year! Overall: A A crafters best friend, but watch out, you may leave with decor too! :)

It was almost overwhelming how much there was to see. In the end I did find one item that I bought. I had seen this hanging Fallout sign posted by some other people and they had a couple in stock.

If you can think of an item and want Winnie the Pooh on it, then you can probably find it here. I especially love the round plush toys here because they are the only ones I have found which my 85 pound yellow lab will not shred to pieces. He is so gentle with them and even sometimes uses them as a pillow. They have a round Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, and Piglet. I can also see where they would be fun for toddlers because you can roll them around and they are easy to grasp. Also, don't miss out on the scenery while here. They have some wonderful places which make perfect photo ops! I think my favorite purchase from here has been my small porcelain "Pooh Pot." Yes, it even reads "Pooh Pot." Too cute! Check those out as well while you are there, they are actually pretty inexpensive and would make great souvenirs to take back to your Friends and family. Here you will also find a little attached shop which sells anything you could want for the beach, swimming pool, or water park. Bathing suits, sunglasses, wraps, beach towels, flip-flops, hats, etc. Definitely worth checking out as well. Really cute swim items can be found!

I honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but it ended up being a fun little roadside stop that's worth checking out. While I expected it to be all about oranges, it's actually a souvenir shop with a small section dedicated to citrus products, along with a much larger selection of classic Florida and Disney-themed gifts, apparel, and keepsakes. It's a great place to browse if you're looking to bring home a souvenir from your trip. Outside, there's a fresh fruit stand where you can sample some of the citrus before you buy. Everything tasted fresh, and if you're traveling home, they even offer shipping so you can send Florida's famous oranges and other goodies directly to your doorstep. It's a quick stop, but a charming one. Whether you're looking for souvenirs, fresh fruit, or just want to check out one of Florida's classic roadside attractions, Orange World is a fun little gem that's worth pulling over for.

I figured it'd be a tourist trap and it definitely is. I checked it off my to-do list and browsed the place but I didn't find anything worthy to purchase.
