Introducing the BDX Droids
A major highlight this year is the debut of the BDX Droids at Disneyland® Paris. Developed by Walt Disney Imagineering Research & Development, Disney Research, and Disney Live Entertainment, these playful droids represent a groundbreaking advancement in robotics technology. Combining expressive character traits with cutting-edge interactivity, the BDX Droids are set to redefine themed entertainment experiences.
Their remarkable innovation was recognized with the prestigious Thea Award for Outstanding Achievement – Technical Innovation in 2025. Starting May 4, 2025, and for three weeks following, guests will be able to meet the BDX Droids in Discoveryland. Kyle Laughlin, SVP of Walt Disney Imagineering Research & Development, shared:
“Technology is just the tool — we use it in service of story and emotion. Beyond the tech, what really sets [the BDX Droids] apart is that spark of personality — they’re full of life, and they make people smile. That’s what we’re really after: emotional connection through technology.”
Out-of-This-Galaxy Merchandise and More
No Star Wars Day celebration is complete without the perfect souvenir. Guests can shop exclusive Star Wars-themed merchandise throughout Disneyland® Paris — from Grogu coffee mugs to stylish clothing inspired by both the Light and Dark sides of the Force.
