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

what??

I have a 4:45 RL on June 7 for 5 people. The system is so crazy that it didn't make me cancel it when I found the more preferable 4:20. I am willing to try and coordinate if someone wants it. I am also willing to hold it for a few days until the insanity of this day for Disney Dining abates. Let me know if you want it.

I don't think they so or I would already be banned for all eternity...keep checking

Thank you for the reassurance! Also for the chuckle you gave me during this stressful time.

Just got May 17th at 7:05 for 2! The CM knew what she was doing! Originally found 4:50, then put me on hold and kept refreshing!

what??

yep. True story.

Wow! So after first being told that 5/16 was completely booked for Rebel Hangar, I persisted. Said I've been seeing online that people are having the experience of being told this, but then calling back and being able to book. She said this didn't just start booking today -- it started "back in early April", so that's why it's full. I said I knew this was not the case. I asked if she could please maybe try selecting a specific time, and seeing if there is availability. She started with 4:30PM, and SURPRISE SURPRISE, it WAS available!

Definitely worth some follow-up questions on this one if you get a "no".

to yulilin and other fellow DISers here for this heads-up!!

Thank you to everyone on this thread!!! First thing this morning, I grab my cell phone to check this site. My eyes were hardly open but I knew this thread would be buzzing!! Before I left the house for work, I was able to get a 5 pm on 5/15! The CM knew exactly what I was looking for - I asked for Rebel Hangar, she called it Rebel Lounge and it shows up in MDE as Backlot Express Lounge. I even thought I "heard" her smile through the phone when I asked for it. Our SWW plans are now done!!!

I will be canceling a RH ressie for 4 at 4:15 on the 30th is someone needs to coordinate.

 

[teeveejunkee]

Yes!! 5th time is the charm. I finally got the time I needed to work with my FP+. Now I have 4:50p on May 17. I exchanged a 7p on that same date so hopefully that means it just opened up for someone else to grab!

Looks like I'm going to run out and buy an issue of Vanity Fair.

It is weird how it shows on MDE at Backlot Express Lounge for some people and Rebel Hanger for others

I hope the call wasn't crazy expensive
