Corporate Lounge in Galaxy's Edge

[rdiver]

I had the opportunity to visit the corporate lounge in Galaxy's Edge recently.

Great location to relax before RotR boarding group is called, and you get a FP for Smugglers Run.

HPE moved out of the Red Planet Room into this new location.

What’s the requirement for entering this lounge?

Need to be an employee of HPE or invited. When we were there, a VIP that was invited by Disney was there as well.

Can you indicate where the lounge is and how to get into it.

Usually these places are not advertised for obvious reasons.

Yes I am a retire HPE employee and use to go to HPE lounge at EPCOT, so I am trying to figure where exactly they moved to.

Dave- if you get 10 posts I can private message you more info. Or shoot me an email at rdiver@gmail.com

My husband has recently retired from HPE. Would he be able to visit this lounge?

Thanks for the info! DH works for HPE. We never visited the Epcot one as we're DVC members and have used the DVC lounge in the Imagination pavillion. It would be great to visit the HPE lounge in Galaxy's edge though! Will have to remind DH to bring his badge for our adult only trip in April!

@rdiver Can you message me the location info? Thanks!

It's been closed for the past year and doesn't have an ETA to be opened.

It's located in the Smuggler's Run building.

Thanks. Just curious. When it was open. What was the protocol to get in? Just show your badge to a Cast Member and they'd send you to the entrance??

Just need your HPE or retirement badge. At the exit of Smuggler's Run there is the wheelchair ramp that goes up to Docking Bay 7. Go up the ramp and there is a castmember hallway on the right before you switchback towards docking bay 7. There's an elevator with an HPE logo and a call button.

Any updates on if the lounge is open in Galaxy's Edge yet? DH works for HPE and we've never been...we were planning to visit it in 2020, which obviously never happened.

Still not open. I talked to the marketing team about a month ago and they said it will be reopening soon.

Thanks! "Soon." We'll be at HS on 6/30....so maybe it'll be open by then!
