I want to know this as well. The personality chips sound cool, but for some reason I thought the droid would talk with it lol. But it just makes sounds. What does it do without the personality chips in them?

The chips are an added upcharge.

I got free water cups at Docking Bay on Friday. They had them sitting out like they do at all the other places. Aren’t they required by law to offer free water?

The land also has water bottle refill stations at each set of drinking fountains.

I know that, but without one, will the droid only move or make noises?

It still makes noise without it. My friend bought one and didn’t put the chip in it until later and it made noise without it.

Thanks. I might just get a basic droid then inside of the backpack. The chips sound cool, but since I don't really get the difference in the personalities, I'll just keep it simple.

I can't imagine the 8PM slot not being the best possible time. I walked around for an hour just exploring. I rode Smuggler's Run 8 times, with the only wait being the first time. I could have rode 50 tines single rider if I wanted. Only one time was there someone ahead of me in single rider.

We have an 8PM reservation on June 9. I can’t wait.

Hi, new here and appreciate the wealth of information already shared. We have a 6/11 8am reservation.

Can anyone share how they handle handicap access on MFSR? And how accessible is SWGE in general?

I tore my Achilles a couple weeks back but determined to keep my promise to the kids. Will be on one of those EV scooters and nervous in general since I’ve never been disabled while at DL. Thanks.

This thread moves fast and furious but user Lesley Wake posted two videos earlier of a droid with and without one of the Resistance chips:

Oh! Thanks! I saw her video, but didn't realize when she put "original sound", it meant the sound without the chip. I will get a droid without the chip then!

Sidenote: wow, I really sound so dumb when it comes to all of this stuff lol Thanks everyone for bearing with me through all of these questions. I've been watching videos, but it helps when people explain it out.

My understanding is that some of it has to do with how they behave in the land itself - like, the Resistance droids get upset in the First Order area. We saw a few people sending their droids around the different areas and discussing stuff like that.

Everything is accessible. At falcon they may send you up the FP ramp and if you need extra time to load you’ll likely be directed to the ADA pod. Unfortunately the single rider line has stairs so that would be out for you.

You don't sound dumb at all! Thank you for being brave enough to ask what many of us are thinking right along with you! And all the explaining (and photos and videos) are a huge part of the beauty of these boards! I totally agree that all the explanation, especially from a first hand experience POV, really helps.

 

[endoux]

I have heard that the droids interact with each other. Does any one have experience with that? And if so, do personality chips make a difference here?

It has been reported that there is an Information Kiosk inside GE near the Big Thunder Trail/Frontierland entrance. If you need any assistance or have any questions about accessibility during your reservation window, you can ask CMs once you get to GE.

They have the blu-ray and dvd boxed sets of the original & prequel trilogies for about $35 a piece, and episodes 7 & 8 should run about $25 each for blu-ray. I'd say $100-125 total depending on what format you get. Another option is episodes 1-6 box set blu-ray for about $80. You can also check any major retailer (target, walmart, best buy, etc.) and pick them all up for about the same price as direct from amazon.

Here is the latest definitive set with lots of cool special features.
Star Wars: The Complete Saga (Episodes I-VI) (Packaging May Vary) [Blu-ray] https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003ZSJ212/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_RLu9CbMZG7P9V

The original trilogy VHS is indeed the best, before Lucas went through and added all the weird cutesy stuff. These have been digitized, restored to their theatrical release quality and look amazing and can be downloaded (legally only if you already own some version of them). They are called Harmy's Despecialized Edition. That's the only version we watch .... because we're just that geeky. But we probably own several different versions and I also don't pay attention to any special content.

Very helpful information -- thank you, all!

Not dumb at all, ask everything and anything you want!

Thank you for the feedback! It sounds like this has been fixed from other posters - I sure hope so! If anyone else has experience with the 8 am slot and MaxPass, I would love to know.

I entered the park on 6/1 around 6:20am on an EMH day and MaxPass worked just fine. The Fastpass distribution started allowing me to book after 7am (it might've worked earlier but I didn't check before that). I didn't add it on to my ticket though. I purchased the ticket with MaxPass already included, not sure if that makes a difference.

Most have reported that the whole menu is available right at opening.

Yep, I got into the Cantina around 8:15am and they had both the Breakfast and Lounge menus available.

Yep, I got into the Cantina around 8:15am and they had both the Breakfast and Lounge menus available.

But the big question is this: what time did you get to DL to line up in order to be near the front of the Launch Bay check in...again early enough to be near the front of the CM-held queue line leading everyone in so that you would be near the front enough to get INTO Oga's at 8:15?

In park now (Monday, 6:50am). I scanned in just past 6am this morning. I just booked a FP on the app without issue. So maybe they’ve fixed it?

I had no problems with it on Saturday either. I bought it about 6:30 a.m. and it worked right away.
