Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

Ok, called back and got 4 @ 6:05 for 5/15!!! So happy because my 4:30 ressie I got earlier conflicts with my Dtech. Now what time is the dessert party? Also, should I hold onto the earlier ressie in case another Dis-er needs it?

Well now she's saying it's taking Reservations but it's completely booked for the entire month.

Looks like we're going to miss out. I could cry! I can't phone until tonight at the earliest and at this rate, our only possible time will be gone for sure. Oh why couldn't this be released online?

Is SoTS approx. 1/2 hour? We're 1st weekend, I have in notes pre show 3:15/then show @ 3:30 pm.

needed to switch FP+ around to accommodate 5:05 pm in rebel hangar...

have ToT window now for 3:45 pm to 4:45 pm, will that work?

SotS has a pre-show at 3:15 and main show at 3:30 so total of 45 minutes. All other shows are 30 min.

I'm not sure what capacity will be in the area, but it may be true. The lady I spoke to stressed how popular it had been this morning. Still, I would definitely keep trying. People are reporting a glitchy system, and there may be cancellations since people seem to be scrambling a bit. Good luck! I hope you can get it!

Can anyone suggest the best number to call for RH?

 

[Dikran]

I called the regular dining number. Someone above mentioned no wait when they called through club level.

Managed to get 4:15 on Saturday 16th for party of 2. Told nothing available on Friday 15th.
Had been refreshing the Rebel Hangar page for nearly 4 hours and decided to give up and call from UK

Actually, given how difficult it is to book I wouldn't necessarily say it will be all booked. Right now it's really mostly about getting a patient CM that keeps trying different ways. Also, some of the ones made are going to get cancelled because they don't fit people's plans.

Got May 23rd at 6:30pm! Very excited!

 

[Mommy2TwoMickeys]

which month are they saying is fully booked?

 

[DisneyMama21]

1/2 hour until I can call...this is killing me!!

 

[yulilin3]

It is quite possible that it's starting to book up. It's a small area they are using of Backlot Express. I would still keep trying.
Dessert Party check in is at 8:30pm
SotS will come out at 4pm

what dates are you wanting to get?

I don't think it's true. People keep reporting no availability and then at the same time someone books for the same day/time. It just takes patience on the part of the CM to keep trying times.

Also, keep in mind - when a CM sees something they put it into the Shopping Cart. It is then unavailable for anyone else until it is removed and then it takes 15 minutes to refresh. While she was searching my CM picked up every time she saw on that date. The one we decided on errored, so we had to go for a different one, but those times we were on the phone for 15 minutes and add another 15 to refresh and basically it pulls those times out of circulation for half an hour.

I got a very knowledgeable CM named Michelle who asked me if I had called before (this was my first try) and added that people were calling this morning telling her how to book it She asked if it was all adults and then asked the age of the child adding "Not that I think that matters."
I was able to book May 29 4:50 pm even though I wanted earlier. She said she didn't see anything earlier that day but noted "It doesn't tell me times, I have to keep refreshing to see more times."

Just got Rebel Hanger for 6/12 at 4:10 Just what I wanted, Super Happy!! Thanks you everyone and Good Luck!

I called 30 minutes ago for this exact day and time and was told it was booked the entire day. I kept making the CM check and she kept telling me nothing was available. I called back and got a much better CM. I wasn't expecting to get the time I wanted and hoped to just get the day, I got the same time and day. I just wish I didn't have to sit on hold twice.

 

[yulilin3]

I called a 3rd time and as soon as I said I was looking for reservations for Rebel Hangar she hung up on me

 

[Metz172]

I got one!!!! Not the original day I wanted which was 6/5 our main SW day. Got 6/7 at 4pm instead so looks like we will be doing 1 1/2 days. Luckily I had already gotten FP for HS for that day. guy on the phone said he couldn't believe how popular this ressie was this morning

what dates are you wanting to get?

May 23rd 7:30/8pm or so. Do you think we'll have a chance by phoning tonight?
