BDX Droids Expected to Debut at Disney Parks Worldwide

Disney's BDX droids, also known as 'Duckling Droids', are set to debut at Walt Disney World, Disneyland Paris, and Tokyo Disneyland later this year, enhancing the immersive experience within Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. These advanced, free-roaming animatronics can navigate park environments and interact with guests, showcasing lifelike movements and expressive personalities. Initially tested at Disneyland, the BDX droids have received positive feedback for their fluidity and charm, marking a significant advancement in Disney's character technology. The rollout aims to deepen guest interactions, building on previous initiatives involving interactive droids like R2-D2. Additionally, the BDX droids will appear in the upcoming film 'Mandalorian and Grogu', set to release in May 2026. While specific launch dates for the parks have yet to be announced, anticipation is growing as Disney prepares for the global expansion of these innovative characters.
