Sorry to polute the discussion with non-Rebel hangar talk, but...
So we have a 9:15 galactic breakfast reservation. We have the VIP package another day, and can book Jedi training the day we have breakfast reservations. Our plan was to his HS in the morning, then go to EPCOT in the afternoon. For Jedi training, we can book at 1035 or 1230. Would prefer 1035 since we planned to be leaving by around noon, but not sure if that is cutting it too close. Thoughts?

On hold now. Which is the best way to describe it? Backlot Express? Rebel Hangar? Rebel Lounge?

Backlot Express Lounge and then just verify that it's Rebel Hangar Lounge

I said "rebel hangar at backlot express". But they mostly seem to know about it now.

I am trying during my planning period... my CM is being very patient but no luck.

The breakfast takes about an hour, remember that you have to check in for JTA about 20 minutes before the show or they will give your spot away

And on second attempt I was told walk up only, not booking reservations...smh.

If I remember correctly you have to arrive for JTA well before your show time. I would generally allow a minimum hour and 15 minutes for character meal. So, yes, I would say it's cutting it too close.

Still getting Donald online, for those of you that have asked.

On a related note, can't get the link from the DPB to open for the Fathers Day tee either

WTH? I just got asked if I wanted to transfer to a survey and then it disconnected me!

 

[StephanieE]

I was able to get a reservation for 4:55 on May 17th! A big thank you to everyone in this thread for sharing info and helping others!

 

[Disaholic73]

I was on hold for about 15 minutes and was able to get June 12th at 4:05 for a party of four. She didn't even have to search a couple of times and knew exactly what I was calling about. 38 more days of waiting!!!!

Mine did that too, and I really wanted to give kudos to my very helpful CM!!

 

[momofallsons]

just booked, awesome CM, looked and looked, every 10 min. interval. finally got to split party into 3 and 3 for 4:15 and 4:20 6/12, think this is too late for a Oz FP? FP is 4:50 to 5:05, ty!

We'll be at RH at the same time, and then booking it to Oz too!

I hadn't/haven't spoken to a CM yet. The background music was playing and then the spiel just came on about taking the survey and then it disconnected me.

OH EM GEE

@CJK first attempt CM said she hadn't been able to book all day....couldn't find anything

Second attempt got if for May 23rd at 7:30pm

 

[moobar25]

So I just checked my plans and my Rebel Lounge ADR for June 12th at 6:35pm (7pp) does not work. I need a 4pm!!! Called and was told nothing available. Anyone want to switch? I'll keep calling to see if it can be done.

That's the time I wanted! I just called. Got a CM with a southern accent. She said her last 2 calls were booked for the 12th. Maybe she helped you! But, for me, she couldn't find anything at all that day. I have it for 8 pm that day, but would've appreciated earlier.

Also, June 14th was completely booked according to her.
