Well despite the fact that it seemed I tabbed away from this thread every time people were getting reservations, I snagged 5/16 at 5:15. I suspect it will be our only solid food that day.

 

[mmafan]

its good to see that the online reservations system is running now......so if you didn't get what you wanted go get it now.....

I forgot I told my kids they could watch Star Wars Rebels for free this weekend until DS reminded me at 5:00 today. Now he's trying to binge watch the entire season before bedtime. We were thinking we may skip the Behind the Force Rebel show as we had never watched it before, but I'm guessing that's now out of the question.

It's a great show, started iffy for me but picked up nicely

The link worked! Thank you! Got 5/24 at 6:15 pm which is exactly what we wanted! Thank you so much!

No, not at all.
It's James Arnold Taylor showcasing his talent for voice overs (he does 200 voices in this show) while he takes you thru his career. Like I said, it's the least SW show during SWW but it is so great, with a wonderful message at the end.
Behind the Force Rebels is all about Rebels

Thanks for the detailed info.

I can bring up the link now but everytime I try to make a reservation I get "We were unable to check for available tables at this time." (Looking at 6/5)

 

[Wendydagny]

it's totally doable. Check in for the hangar as soon as you come out of ST and see if they can seat you earlier, Hangar to Obi Wan is where you're cutting it close
EDIT TO ADD: Could you get a bit earlier to DHS and ride ST first thing? then you could move your RL up a bit and have time for Obi Wan

Hmmm what about moving it to 7:40-8:40 pm? How early do we need to line up for the dessert party? Unfortunately dd is attached to an iv in the morning, and they might not like me putting her bag in the basket thingy and letting her ride like that....

For the dessert party you really don't need to line up early, if you don't find a table you can share with someone else, the area is big and there's room to walk around. They do open it around 8:40pm so that would work

Just keep clicking the button. I did it three times in a row and times came up. Just don't do it too fast or you will refresh the page and miss the times.

Keep trying! It took me a few times before the times finally came up.

Just noticed the wording on the Disney website for the Feel the Force packages doesn't mention a snack for the motorcade viewing (only soft drinks & water). Interested to see if they took away the ice cream bars. Hope not!

"Feel the Force Premium Package
The Force is stronger with a Feel the Force Premium Package during Star Wars Weekends at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This out-of-this-world event package includes:

• A reserved viewing area with soft drinks and water for the Legends of the Force: Star Wars Celebrity Motorcade."

don't worry, this was asked directly to the girl from the DPB and she said there would be ice cream

 

[Monykalyn]

searching the site - Rebel hangar gone. Using the link-I also made reservation for the 12th.
Will probably be dropping a Jedi Mickey dinner June 2 at 8:40 for 5-it is just too late for dinner for us

@lovethattink just reported from DHS...they are doing parent/child JTA

That would be cool to keep-at least for a couple shows for SWW

Too bad it's not a 'let the internet vote' as I'm sure the whole board would lock in your win.

Oh Heck yes! Yulilin deserves that! Especially as the Disboard ignores this as a top thread (seriously door hanger thingys for a cruise made a top thread???)

I just got 6:30 for 6/5 and 6:00 and 7:00 were also available.
I gave up a 6:15 as I decided I wanted to attempt characterpalloza sp?

we'll see tomorrow, they are announcing top thread for the month of April, that's when they announced celebrities and all the packages.

Let me know if there are any issues.

Ok, I've seen the green Mickey's mentioned in posts, but wasn't sure what the deal was with them. Just curious, what do you all do with these? Also, I read in the roll call thread about picking up an "I'm celebrating" button... is that just a button from Disney or something more specific to these boards? TIA

Never forget the great ice cream uprising!
