Dining does not have any info on Rebel Hangar...but that doesn't say much. Will try again and hope for a different agent.

backlot express is showing no open times after April 25th, so I suspect it will be closing for rebel hangar remodeling in anticipation of SWW. But it may just be a QS with no reservations. The agent I spoke with though it would be more like BOG QS with reservations, because that was the trend, but she was really just speculating.

Yeah I got the same info but unable to book

If the Rebel Hanger is a lounge and not a restaurant (it has not been described as a restaurant), then it probably won't take reservations. It'd be a walk in. I have never heard of having to make reservations for a lounge.

The TA email does say this though: "Contact Disney 407-WDW-DINE for more information or to book"

 

[MakiraMarlena]

It says that on everything. Doesn't mean this item will be bookable. Will have to wait and see if nobody can book it. And if it's bookable it will be on line.

You are probably right. But they might consider reservations for crowd control purposes, BOG-style, especially if there are characters there. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

 

[yulilin3]

getting some info now

If it isn't bookable, I would guess it would be a madhouse... And if so we'd skip. I remember the wine bar in Epcot's Italy being CRAZY early on -- we skipped it.

A lounge is not a place where you go to eat a meal, it's for ordering drinks and maybe snacks or appetizers. They can't put a time on that for table turning. and it says the characters will pass through, it doesn't say they will stop. I could see them using buzzers like Trader Sam's does.

How are the her universe shirts cut? I am usually a women's medium, would that work?

 

[BobaFettFan]

This deal gets better all the time. Please alter it further, Disney!

 

[BobaFettFan]

I have no idea what this lounge thing is, but it's star wars and we know about it before anyone else so I want it. And it better have free ice cream!

 

[yulilin3]

Just got off with Disney dinning (keep that in mind)
It'll be set up as a lounge, she said one fix price but then said that it shows as $14.99 and under so I'm thinking you just pay for what you order
There will be a Star Wars brand beer
They will take reservations but the system was showing that it's not bookable yet
There will be characters roaming around from both sides of the force
It has a 1 day cancellation policy and we should be able to book it thru MDE
She said to call back tomorrow

 

[CheshireCrazy]

Oh please let this go live tomorrow.

I want Star Wars beer!

 

[yulilin3]

I just got this email from my TA. I don't remember seeing it in this thread and didn't find anything when I Googled it.

For Star Wars weekends, we are taking part of the Backlot Express location and turning it into a lounge. It is designed to be kind of an officers lounge. There will be some unique food and drink, including a Star Wars branded beer.



Description:

Guests here for the excitement of Star Wars Weekends can participate in a fun lounge experience set in a galaxy far, far away. Visit an abandoned starship hangar that’s been overtaken by galactic travelers, visiting pilots, renegades, and smugglers. Keep an eye out for galactic Characters from both sides of the Force as they pass through the hangar.



Exclusive themed food and specialty alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage options are available to allow everyone to sample some of the galaxies most delectable and exotic treats.
