'Bout time! Now let's just get them in there by July! I want to see my 3 yr old nephew's face when sees them. That's like a classic Disney moment and a very GRUNTLING development.

Glad they are coming to WDW and not just Disneyland
will be interested to see how implemented and to keep them from getting swarmed by people

Oh they tried it at DL with Jake the Droid as a test run and realized that annoying kids will *gasp* touch things and be rude..And they dropped it for a few years..

Nothing that putting that little cattle prod R2 has on all of these won’t fix.

yeah, sort of my worry. I know generally guests are better about things like this at DLR - or at least more used to roaming characters
just worried they have them but have to keep them behind a fence or something
but hey, at least WDW is getting them!

Is this blog Mickey's child? It's kind of funny a video highlighting such general lack of parenting.

I'm curious how this will all play out. The way they worded things during the presentation, it sounded like there are just one set of these Droids that will be rotating between the parks, vs a set permanently for each park.Star Wars BDX Droids Coming to Walt Disney World: Interactive Animatronics Expand Globally

If they can do this, they can do WALL-E. Would love to see him wandering MK's Tomorrowland, or maybe HS's Pixar Plaza.More information on Newton can be found at the link below from Nvidia:

More BDX Droid details in a new interview from TechRadar with Moritz Bächer, the Associate Lab Director of Disney’s Zurich-based robotics team, including this note about how they are preparing the droids for Florida weather:
To prepare for the Florida sun, the BDX Droids swapped 3D printed components to milled ones, better-suited to handle the heat. Additionally, in conjunction with Disney Live Entertainment, new content has been added to the BDX Droids repertoire.
