Disney Adds New Locations for Star Wars Droid Factory

Droid Factory

The first Star Wars Droid Factory opened last year at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Orlando, Florida. A Droid Factory is a place full of miscellaneous astromech droid figurine parts which allows you to customize your own figure. This is similar version of a “build-a-bear” kiosk found in many places, including zoos, science centers and other attractions.

The Droid Factory must have been popular, because Disney has decided to open one at Downtown Disney, also located in Orlando, and one at the Disneyland park in California! Link

These “factories” are great for all Star Wars fans, but especially for kids. My kids love them! It’s one of the first places they run to!

Innovative Idea For a Children’s Walker!

Walker

We saw this yesterday and had to tell you about it! A young boy underwent surgery on both legs, and afterward must rely on a walker to get around. As you can imagine, that would be a challenge physically and mentally for a 4-year-old. Well, after a brainstorm, his mom and some friends decided to transform his walker into an AT-AT! Link

The boy is a huge Star Wars fan, and is no doubt quite pleased with his new Imperial Walker!

This is another example of great parenting, and the healing powers Star Wars can provide. May the Force be with this young fella. But watch out for tow cables!
