whats this stuff......new???

from the press event today

Ok. So I'm usually as nice as possible when calling the Dining CM's but I just called back a second ago to make sure it hadn't opened and she wouldn't even check for me! She just said " no it's not open for reservations yet" immediately after I asked. I understand that it wasn't open this morning but I feel like times are just going to pop up any minute now so it would have been nice if she would have looked...just saying. Rant over!

Keep in mind that they should get booking instructions before it goes live. So it's not likely to pop up that suddenly yet.

Will the rebel hanger be open any other time during the day or is it only for dinner hours? Also has anyone seen a menu? Just wondering if it's kid friendly.

how sad is this - I'm sitting on my butt still in my PJs trying to book the Rebel Hanger - I should already be showered and getting things done around the house....luckily DD is old enough to do a lot of her schoolwork solo

CM said they are still setting up the system. They got a note this morning saying it still wasn't ready. She said to keep checking and calling back in the morning over the weekend, she didn't think it would become available in the evening.

Just 4-9, Lounge Hours. It looks to be a lounge menu which would mean no kids menu per se.

We are very fortunate to be staying club level this trip and I e-mailed the concierge this morning asking if he could make the reservation for me. This is the response I got:

"The Rebel Hanger-A Star Wars Lounge Experience will not be offered as a table services meal, it will be moreso a lounge with specialty treats, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. I have checked, and at this point, there is no availability for May 31. If there are any other dining experiences you would like assistance with, please let us know. We look forward to speaking with you. See ya real soon!"

But ADR website says it will be table service - does it say this because we'll be able to make reservations?

I suspect it's because TS is the only category that currently allows ADRs. Regular lounges can't be booked.

Catching up on posts still, but thought I would add...
I was also told cannot book yet. At first she had no idea what I was talking about, but then she found it. She said it was in her system, but sometimes when they are brand new it takes a few hours to be bookable. She said to try back in a couple of hours.

Hi Dis. I’ve been reading the boards for years, but I think this might be my first post. I went to SWW last year and had a blast because of the tips on this board. I can’t thank you all enough.
I’m a single Disney traveler almost exclusively, AP holder, Tampa Resident, a bit shy. Taking a big leap in actually chiming in.
I’ll be at HS for Star Wars Day.
FtF Premium Package on Sat. 5/16
FtF Premium Deluxe Package on Sat. 5/13
I’ll go check in on the roll call thread. Happy to be here!

Welcome !
Looks like you're an official :

Aww got a message from my Travel Agent:

"I have been trying online but keep getting errors so I am sitting on hold now hoping I have better luck this way. Let me know if you grab something before me. "

WHAT!!!!!

 

[Monykalyn]

I can't keep up! 4 tabs open, spreadsheet with ADR and FP+ on one side (gotta coordinate with RH times), twitter open on ipad, and finishing Vendor thank you letters for our charity event 2 weeks ago, and now hubs (out of town) texting me with stuff I need to get in mail for clients. This is in between a kid's All A's breakfast and another kid's Lunch (special lunch for meeting behavior and reading goals for the class). Oh-and anther major charity event tonight (4p-12a--and I was there setting up til 11p last night). C'mon Rebel Hangar!!!

I need more coffee...
