Dh and I both built droids during our Aug/Sept trip.....and I know people say they don't interact with each other outside of the land but I really beg to differ. Every time we have had them turned on and moving, then turned off the controller (but not the droids themselves) they talk back and forth to each other. One will beep and boop then 20-30 sec later the second one will reply.....then a few minutes later it starts all over again. I had this going on for more than 2 hours before I finally turned them both off to save battery power. I don't know why this tickles me so......I had a Savi's appointment Mon night. I ended up being 6 minutes late (I don't recommend it, I was stressing out a lot). Luckily, they were able to put me into the next time slot. I'm not sure if this always happens or if I got lucky and someone showed up early and I took their spot. I hadn't watched any videos or read anything about it before hand. I thought it was a great experience. The music lined up so well with the speeches, and my droid kept chiming in at opportune moments and the builder guide even acknowledged him.
It was an experience I dare say I won't ever forget!I went with the nature based saber and chose a green hilt. As a life long Star Wars fan, I very much enjoyed the experience and thought it was worth the high price tag. But that's a personal call for everyone. It is a very expensive souvenir.
We are still trying to figure out how to display ours. Dh did Savis and I purchased the Anakin/Luke/Rey legacy saber. It's a challenge to figure out how to do them justice, especially given the fact that my legacy saber came with that cool case for the hilt.....Now I just need to buy some wall hooks to display it.
I have given up hope that they will still be available when we return on Dec 9th. A girl can hope, though!We also got another Spira gift card, they were behind the counter at the Droid Depot.
I'm guessing part of the problem is where the line is drawn regarding them as "clothing" or "costumes". I think Rey's vest thing is pretty awesome, though and I wouldn't hesitate to wear it anywhere in public.I really wish they had more Star Wars inspired clothing. If they sold anything close to what the cast members get to wear, I would buy all of it. As it is, I only saw about one Rey inspired shirt.
Hi just wondering what the Spira gift card stock was like when you purchased it? We are planning to head there next Tuesday and hoping to pick up a couple up for us and a friend who wont make it to GE until early Jan. Is it limited to per guest/family?We also got another Spira gift card, they were behind the counter at the Droid Depot.

Thank you for such a quick response!! Good to know there's no limitation on the cards.I have never heard of a numeric limitation on the cards. I am not sure how many remained, I hope enough that you will be able to get some.
Just keep in mind you do need to put at least $100 on each gift card you purchase.

These gift cards can be used in other parks as well? If so then we should be okay as most of our meals will be paid out of pocket so we can put the money towards our meals into these gift cards and use them during our trip.
The gift cards are under the counter so no way to know how many there are left. They aren't on displayHi just wondering what the Spira gift card stock was like when you purchased it?

They had the spira gift cards in stock yesterday. They're at droid depot gift shop, behind the counter. When I bought ours, I was told 1 per person. Since I was with DS9 they let me buy 2, so I think some cms may be lenient.Hi just wondering what the Spira gift card stock was like when you purchased it?

Are the price of the light sabers worth it?
When it was raining they were all wearing Leia Endor ponchos and I was so jealous.
there are no reservations needed during EMH, also you can walk up and check, some people just cancel and spots open up. Another option is to check the day before, since the experience has a 1 day cancellation policy people tend to wait until the day before to do soSo i only found out today that Savi took reservations over 60 days out, and unfortunately for me it seems that it is all booked up my week.... Do they take walk ups day of or did a lack of knowing about the Advance Res gonna kill me
That's really up to you. Many find the experience to be incredible.Are the price of the light sabers worth it?
Word of caution for those building a power and control lightsaber. I built one and during the build process both hand grips and the activator plate had to be replaced 3 times because they would not tighten into one another. Finally a castmember was able to tighten it but as soon as I brought it back to my hotel room and touched the hilt it loosened immediately. I was constantly trying to screw it in but it kept happening. Brought the saber to the castmembers out front of the galaxys edge entrance and apparently this has been a common occurrence with the power and control sabers. They said the threading for this saber is very thin and not to over twist. This is a pain especially switching kyber crystal's or removing the blade. If anyone does get it I suggest immediately checking it afterwards just in case. I was nervous at first since previews were no longer happening and I would not be at disney for opening day. Castmembers were very helpful though and replaced all my parts and gave me a new blade as they also saw I had some dead LEDs in my blade.
