CM was fantastic, kept trying and finally figured it out - she had to put my hotel confirmation number in for some reason to pull it up. Right as we were about to finish booking she said she got another email correcting the first email about not booking until the 14th. this one told them exactly how to find it and book it so hopefully it will easier now? We got exactly what we wanted 6/7 at 4:10.

I booked on 6-14 originally at 4:05. Called back and got 5:10. Now to see I there is anything to it. The advantage of going the final day.

Finally got a very helpful CM...still couldn't get on 5/24, but managed to get on 5/29 instead. I would have preferred 5/24, but at least she got me something.

There is definitely an issue with times being shown as "not available" if they search in the usual fashion - There's some alternative method they can use to search which will bring up the times but I'm not sure how to specifically ask for that.

Keep trying - They just started 4 hours ago so I wouldn't think whole days are sold out yet...

It worked for me after I had them 1) look up my resort reservation number, 2) search for a specific time not time range.

For both the Feel the Forcepackage and Rebel Hangar they asked for resort confirmation number- wonder if that is also a way to search?

When I called the 2nd time she said nothing is available, so she put in my resort info and I said "can we please check the 16th, just in case?" and she went back in and was able to book for the 15th. She said "It just popped up, I don't even know what I did". Then she had to leave, I'm assuming to talk to a supervisor? I don't know if there's a magic "trick" or just luck of the draw at this point, but your comment made me remember that something similar happened to me?

Thank you, and a friend just picked up the 4th and 5th pins for us. Hubby is audited about those......,if he only knew what I had in store

When I log into MDE online, there resssie shows as:

Rebel Hangar: A Star Wars Lounge Experience at Disney's Hollywood Studios

My phone app lists the ressie as Backlot Express Lounge.

First post updated. All we need now is the event map and we'll have a fully armed and operational event

I'm sad I tried calling twice and they said there is nothing available on the 15th

I have no issues with the RH designation being different on the phone app than it is on the website. That's happened before. I mean, I don't think it means that I won't be allowed in or anything like that.

Don't be so proud of this technological terror you've created - The ability to plan a Disney Vacation is insignificant compared to the power of the force!

Hit it again!

Never give up, never surrender!

Just decided the 23rd would be difficult for our plans, so, just called and got the 30th at 4:05 and cancelled May 23, 4:05 - hope one of ya'll can snag it!!

What worked for you finally?

 

[pook22401]

Thank you to the person who said they need to search under a specific time. I had called three times trying to get a later res. 6/6 at 4:00 for 3 should be open right now. Searching by a specific time got me the later time I wanted! Keep trying.

OK. I bit the bullet and called again after seeing others post they were getting 6/5 ressies. So glad I did. I have now completed the most perfectly planned trip with a 6:15 ADR for the Rebel Hangar Lounge. Drinks and appetizers there and then on to the dessert party for more drinks
