We BUILT A CUSTOM DROID at Disneyland! Was it worth it?

[@MrCoolguy80]

I love BB-Grape! You just need to Star Warsify it! Like BB-GR8P or something like that!

[@nerdydaydreams]

Thank you so much!! And omg you’re so right! I think the 8 works perfectly in there! 😊❤

[@paulnkiki68]

BB-Princess would be a good name. The BB droids are uber sensitive and go fast.

[@nerdydaydreams]

BB-Grape is for sure a princess, so this would be a great nickname for her!! She is the fastest 😂

[@KillerK8sReviews]

I love you bb-grape!

[@nerdydaydreams]

bb-grape loves you back!! 🍇

[@StrictlyHonest]

Wow! When did they have droids??? That’s so cool! Bb-grape is awesome! ❤❤

[@nerdydaydreams]

thank you so much!! I love that droid building is an option on Batuu. Experiences like this help make the land so immersive! 😍🍇

[@KilianCamp]

She’s so cute! 🥰 bb grape is the perfect name!!

[@nerdydaydreams]

Thank you so much!! I really love her, and I cannot wait for Simon to build her a friend 🥰

[@Zeppelin_Wooper]

I’ve built two droids and have even customized one of them with weathering. It’s very fun and It makes them look much better (in my opinion)

[@nerdydaydreams]

Ooh weathering is such a great idea!! I’d love to customize BB-Grape. Which type of droids did you build? 💖

[@paulnkiki68]

BB-Grape is a cutie. You should always run him/her on a smooth surface

[@nerdydaydreams]

Thank you so much!! 🥰 she did roll better at home on our apartment floors! We were just so excited to try her out at the park 😂💖

[@joannakleinheksel-horn3494]

I got the backpack for mine because I've taken mine back to the park and that backpack is VERY handy to have if you plan on coming back to Disneyland with your droid😉

[@nerdydaydreams]

oooh, that's smart Joanna!! I have wondered what it would be like to bring BB-Grape back into the park, and the backpack would for sure be a game changer! 🥰

[@joannakleinheksel-horn3494]

So you would carry your Droid into the park and as soon as you get in, go to the Droid Depot and get a backpack😉

[@jayjayrj]

Great review! BB-Grape is gorgeous! I can't wait to build my own in April. 🥰🥰🥰

[@nerdydaydreams]

Thank you so much! That makes me so happy!! 🤩 Are you going to build a BB unit too, or do you have another unit in mind?

[@jayjayrj]

​@@nerdydaydreamsI'm torn between BB-8 or R2D2. I love R2 for its history and relevance. But BB is so cute!!!

[@nerdydaydreams]

that's how I felt too!! we're going to go back and make an R2 unit next 🥰@@jayjayrj

[@Crimson-unit]

take me to disneyland rn

[@nerdydaydreams]

right?! let's go!! haha 🐭🏰

[@Bastet674]

I want to build an R2 unit. I’d name her R2V2 the V standing for violet

[@nerdydaydreams]

oooh that's a really good idea!! 😍I love the R2 units, and I'm thinking they will be easier to navigate around the park.

[@jarjarboujee]

I mean…where do I begin?!? Did you guys research that BB- 8 is my favorite or is this just a coincidence. Mary & Simon…your videos are so thoughtful and refreshing. Keep it up. Bb - Grape 🤗. Love it.

[@nerdydaydreams]

WHAT! I didn't know BB-8 is your favorite! That makes me so happy. When BB-8 gives Finn the "thumbs up" I laugh so hard every time. THE best!! Thank you so much for always commenting and for your kindness. We really really appreciate you, @jarjarboujee!! BB-Grape loves you back!! 🍇💖

[@Lord_Mangoat]

Great video! I've been watching a bunch of Droid Depot videos lately, because I'm interested in building a droid myself some day. I'd likely build a C1 unit (like Chopper) and eventually custom paint it. I've seen other people suggest getting a pet carrier instead, for a backpack to carry the droids around.

[@nerdydaydreams]

Thank you so much!! Oooh, I love Chopper so much, that would be such a fun droid to build. Also, I'm obsessed with the idea of using a pet carrier to carry a droid, haha. That's so awesome! What colors would you paint your C1 unit? 🤩

[@Lord_Mangoat]

@@nerdydaydreams I've seen the C1 units get the most options, as far as parts + accessories. C1 units being able to use either the short legs or the R2 legs, if you keep that leg/wheel extender on, which means they can also use the drink tray and other accessories that are advertised for the R2 units. For color, I'm thinking maybe mostly black with some purple.

[@nerdydaydreams]

ohh, you're so right! That drink tray option is such a cool idea, and you can't go wrong with black and purple! 🤩@@Lord_Mangoat

[@liemdrake]

You're a BB droid is really cute and almost matches the color of your hair and for me that I would go more for a R2 unit by using black and red.

[@nerdydaydreams]

Thank you!! 💖 I love BB-Grape so much, and since I’ve made her, I’ve definitely noticed that the R-units are much better at navigating 😂. Black and red would be a great combo!!

[@Call_me__Michael]

I have 1 question, does the BB-series head fall off easily?

[@nerdydaydreams]

Great question!! BB-Grape’s head did fall off when I crashed her inside Droid Depot (lol!) but since then, it has stayed on! In my experience, it only falls off if the droid crashes into something. 🤓💖

[@Call_me__Michael]

@@nerdydaydreams ohhhh, thank you so much!😄and i loooove BB-Grape😁 🍇🍇

[@tabbysxmain.fstart]

I can’t wait to build my droid! im going next week and have already done some research on what I want. I think im going to do a purple version on r2!

[@nerdydaydreams]

I hope you have the best time!! Droid Depot (and galaxy's edge in general) are so much fun!! 🤩

[@maydaestrada154]

Glad I could help! love bb- grape💜

[@nerdydaydreams]

Thank you so much, Mayda! BB-Grape loves you back!! 💖 It's truly the cast members that make Disneyland so special. We really appreciate you!

[@LeonYakuro]

i cant decide between bb or r2

[@nerdydaydreams]

I totally get that!! Are you planning to use the remote function a lot? I find my BB unit is very tricky to navigate - still fun and looks amazing on my shelf! I’ve recently tried an R2 unit, and it’s much easier to move around. 💖

[@marcmouse3013]

Now you need to bring it to the Disney fan club expo on April 21, and join in on the droid races! Everybody brings their custom droids. And when I say custom, I mean next level. Hand painted, themed characters and everything! It's an amazing experience, and it's free

[@nerdydaydreams]

What!! This sounds so fun!! 😍 I would love to build another droid and then customize it with paint. So cool! ✨♥️

[@nerdydaydreams]

My racing skills on the other hand 😂 they are not ready yet!!

[@MDFRfiredriver]

Did you get the 20%off with your annual pass

[@nerdydaydreams]

Yes, we did! We have the Imagine Key, so we were able to save 10%. 💖

[@nerdydaydreams]

hi!! I was thinking about this comment when we went back to build Simon's droid, and I realized that the droids don't qualify for the magic key discount. We got 10% off the personality chip though! 😂

[@TheSonyGuy1]

Thought you were goanna go with the purple head. I have all 3 styles and I think r units are the best

[@nerdydaydreams]

There were so many cool parts to choose from! I love that you’ve made all three. Simon wants to make an R2 unit when it’s his turn. I bet they navigate better! 😂❤

[@TheSonyGuy1]

@@nerdydaydreams he should make a r unit unless he wants to malk a bb friend for bb grape

[@nerdydaydreams]

oooooh that's a good idea too! we'll have to make them all! haha @@TheSonyGuy1 💖

[@fredbettesworth5397]

I think i like chopper or r5 Bb-grape is great

[@nerdydaydreams]

Thank you!! I am also a huge fan of chopper (such an attitude, lol!), and r5 is the best on the Rise of the Resistance ride! They are all so fun 🤩

[@Nu1l-b7k]

Which one is better lightsabers or droids?

[@nerdydaydreams]

ooooh I love this question!! both are so much fun to build, but I do think the lightsaber building is a more immersive experience. It feels really special and the lightsaber itself feels heavy and good quality. I love love love bb-grape, but I'll acknowledge that she is more plastic than our saber. 🥰 both are so fun though!

[@sigma682]

I bought the full size BB-8, I don’t think they charged $100 for it brand new but to each their own.

[@nerdydaydreams]

Ooooh!! I’ll have to double check next time I’m in the parks, I definitely don’t want to put the wrong info out there. Thanks! BB-8 is the best 😍

[@sigma682]

@@nerdydaydreamsOh it’s not a park exclusive. You’ll have to find them on the secondhand market now.

[@nerdydaydreams]

@@sigma682 oh!! okay!! that's awesome. gotta buy star wars stuff wherever we can get it 😍

[@irishbatman2917]

I didn't see any green parts. That's to bad 🫤

[@nerdydaydreams]

I noticed that too!! I thought about making a red and green one for Christmas, but there was no green. They do have green decals that you can add on to customize though! If you look up Ordinary Adventures’ droid building video, they got the green decals. 💚

[@nerdydaydreams]

[@lesliem6319]

Bb-8 I would like the color to be orange or purple and for R2 I would like the color to be orange or black for I can take my own Droid home in the backpack okay.

[@nerdydaydreams]

ooooh, such good color choices!! I am so grateful that they have so many options. 😍
