Just got the Rebel Lounge for June 6 at 4:00. CM had to keep checking and put me on hold several times to ask others how they were booking it, but it finally popped up. yay!

However, its not showing up yet in MDE. Have other people's been showing up right away?

I had to manually add mine.

Do you need to have your credit card and/or your resort res # when you call?

I didn't have my resort reservation # available, but she was able to look me up by name/address. I did have to have the credit card.

Non-SWW - are there any quick service breakfast options in DHS?

Thanks.

Starbucks, Starring Rolls and Writer's stop.

 

[Monykalyn]

Love that movie!!

 

[MiataPaige]

This trip will include me, DH, DS9 and nephew. If I can only choose one dining experience, which do you recommend? The Disney characters at H and V or the Galactic Breakfast. I'm leaning toward the Breakfast because of Boba Fett

 

[yulilin3]

Wait, we still need character confirmations right? I'm still hoping we can meet Ezra, Sabine and chopper.

that one is almost impossible to get before the first Friday. I really hope we can meet Rebel characters as well

not doing the parade? I would put it during the parade

 

[Music City Mama]

I usually have the kind of luck where I get the CM that doesn't know what they're talking about, so I'm very grateful to have gotten such a wonderful CM. Right after I secured the reservation, I got a call from the car repair shop that I need my radiator replaced, so I'm feeling thankful for at least having some good luck on the Rebel Hangar front.

Also grateful for the wonderful information on this thread and the comradery between everyone.

Me, too! I just watched the first 4 episode of the Rebels series with my son; we love it!

I'm glad I asked! I didn't even think of that. We are still undecided about the parade. It's not a "must do" for us, I figured it would depend on if / where there was space left when we got out of breakfast. But it would be a good time to hit the mall

NICK!!!! this is the guy that approached my kids and I, years and years and years ago to see if they wanted to be in the motorcade. He was a red shirt back then. He's now one of the guys in charge of the while event. He is a very dear friend but was most useful before he became all managerial I always tell him this. He would be able to spill some secrets, now he really can't

When you say that you had to manually add it do you mean you just put it in the notes on MDE or there is a way to look it up with the confirmation number?

 

[AThrillingChase]

Whew man. I had a hearing this morning (I'm an attorney so it was for my client, not for me lol). I am behind about 10 pages now but I saw that people were calling and getting RL ADR so I called and got a CM who instantly knew what I was asking for. The first thing she said was do you have a hotel confirmation number and then proceeded to check times. I wanted 5pm on May 17th and she said there was nothing earlier than that, but she got me a 5:55 by continuing to search. The whole thing took 15 min from when I picked up my phone to call. And she was so excited and nice. Definitely one of the CM's that is a Disney fan like us

I manually put mine in with confirmation number and last name and it showed after that.

I haven't done the H&V . I did the breakfast and loved it. Whatever it is, if you don't have ressies by now start stalking, the entire event is sold out

 

[AThrillingChase]

Oh, and it is showing up as backlot express lounge for me on MDE app.

 

[OhioStateBuckeye]

I am glad that so many folks are getting reservations for Rebel Lounge finally despite the frustrating process. I created quite a firestorm this morning when I first posted that I got a reservation and no one else could. I hope everyone gets something that can work with their schedule. I haven't had time to go through all the new pages. Did Disney officially announce this yet?

Nope

When you say that you had to manually add it do you mean you just put it in the notes on MDE or there is a way to look it up with the confirmation number?

You can click the link to add a reservation, then put your name and the number in. This is if your reservation isn't showing up in mde.

 

[tesslor]

I manually put mine in with confirmation number and last name and it showed after that.

That worked! Thank you! I feel much better now.
