Droid Factory Still Up and Running???

[KarmaCat]

Can anyone tell me if the Droid Factory (where you can assemble your own R2D2-type droid model) is still available at DHS and/or DTD? My kids really wanted to do this before, but they chose to build light sabers instead. I'm hoping this is still up and running so that they can build droids this time!

I believe they used to be in Tatooine Traders and World of Disney. Anyone been to either one recently and can report back?

Thanks!

We were in Tatooine Traders on June 30 and they still had them.

I think this is a permanent part of the Tatooine Traders store.

Awesome! Thank you for your replies! I didn't want to promise my kids they could do this if it had disappeared... With as many changes as Disney is implementing in the parks these days, I take nothing for granted anymore. On this next trip, I'm really going to be savoring many experiences since it feels like so many elements of the parks are on the endangered list. The last time we were there, I had no idea that I would never be able to ride Maelstrom or do the Animation Academy again, for example. So during our upcoming November trip, I'm going to be taking SO many pictures (especially at DHS, which is about to be overhauled) and making sure my family doesn't pass anything up that looks like fun, even--especially--the smallest things (pressed pennies, anyone?). I know change is inevitable, especially at WDW, so I'm not bitter about it... just... feeling a bit nostalgic already. Sigh.
