Thanks to everyone for encouraging me to call again and again I finally snagged a time. I saw the food pics, does anyone know where the descriptions of the food/alcohol was? Lots of pages on this thread since then. Thanks

I believe I posted it on page 560, but here it is again. This was from starwars.com

Wars Weekends

Guests attending Star Wars
Weekends will be able to find shelter
and sustenance in the Rebel Hangar: A Star Wars Lounge Experience. You
never know who you’ll find lurking in the abandoned starship
hangar — located in a galaxy far, far away. Reports have been made
that this location was once a known hangout of Rebel pilots, aliens, bounty
hunters, and smugglers; with the immersive environment and stellar
bites — I understand why!


Look for a menu full of Star Wars-themed food and beverage
offerings that are out of this world:

· Galactic Garlic/Parmesan Fries – These are
tossed with Parmesan cheese, garlic and parsley with a garlic aioli for dipping

· Padmé Amidala Naboo Salad – seared chicken
breast, bibb lettuce, grape tomatoes, watermelon radish, almond frica, and a
parmesan-peppercorn ranch dressing

· Lightsaber Bites – hand-dipped corn-battered
knockwurst sausages with house-made chips and mustard dipping sauce

· Chicken and Darth Vader Waffles served with
maple syrup and sweet barbecue sauce

· Trio of Thermal Detonators – spicy pork wings
topped with spicy piquillo-pepper sauce and slaw

· Slider Sampler featuring “The Sith”
barbecue-braised brisket with cole slaw and “The Jedi” with barbecued pulled
chicken with arugula.

· Fruit and Cheese “Sabers” featuring Tillamook
cheddar, Brie, goat cheese, pickled vegetables, crostini, cheddar crackers,
blueberries, raspberries, honeydew melon, strawberry, olives and gherkins

· Darth Maul Hummus with red pepper coulis, black
sesame dust, and corn tortilla chips

· Yoda Key Lime Cake

· Trio of Star Wars Mini Cupcakes,
including Darth Vader (chocolate-peanut butter), Yoda (chocolate-hazelnut), and
Jabba the Hutt (salted caramel latte) served in the Han Solo Carbonite Souvenir
Box


A new drink menu will also be available:

· Imperial Blue – Maker’s Mark Whiskey,
Cointreau, Blue Curacao, sweet and sour, topped with Sprite

· Tatooine Sunset – Stoli vanilla, Parrot Bay
Coconut Rum, pineapple juice with grenadine

· Rebel Red – Grey Goose vodka, Chambord, sour
mix and a splash of grenadine

· Dagobah Swamp Juice – Midori, Tito’s Handmade Vodka,
sweet and sour, topped with lemon-lime foam

· The Dark Side – Stoli vanilla vodka, Bailey’s
liqueur, crème de cocoa and brownie garnish

· Alderaan Ale


The Jabba the Hutt and Yoda cupcakes will also be available at Tusken Fridge
Raiders, Trolley Car Café, Starring Rolls Cafe, and Backlot Express. The Darth
Vader cupcake will be available at all quick-service locations, including
Starring Rolls Cafe, and Trolley Car Cafe and Tusken Fridge Raiders at Darth’s
Mall.


In addition to the Rebel Hangar: A Star Wars Lounge Experience,
guests can also make reservations for Jedi Mickey’s Star Wars Dine at
Hollywood & Vine and Star Wars Dine-In Galactic Breakfast! At Sci-Fi
Dine-In Theater Restaurant. For reservations, visit DisneyWorld.com/dine or call
407-WDW-DINE.


May the food be with you!

If that's how it was for the CMs this morning no wonder word was so erratic on it. It would go back and forth between showing a time and saying unable to search at this time. Frustrating. But I did get a 2nd spot on Saturday. We'll have drinks one day and eat main course another.

YAY! I was able to switch my 5:20 to 4:50 on the website! That half hour may mean the difference between making Characterpalooza and missing it!

Oh my goodness....was up til middle of the night stalking MDE...checked back at 615 am - Nothing. I get to work and this thread explodes...aaaaand of course Rebel Hanger had opened on phone only. ....yikes!! I of course work in a cubicle office where Everyone. Hears. Everything! So panic I did, hoping to see it open online......LUCKILY when I called at lunch @ 130, i was able to get a phenominal cast member who knew all the ins and outs! I scored a 4:30 reso for 3 on 5/22 and a 5:55 on 5/24 for 3. I will be dropping one once I call figure out how to work my schedule. Im finding it so hard to schedule meals to work around the shows and my FTF deluxe package. It seems almost impossible to work in a H&V or even Backlot Express Rebel when there are 4 shows on a day. Is anyone else finding this a challenge.
How long do you ESTIMATE H&V Star Wars meal to take from checkin til departure-I know several variables are involved but just your general thought. I had it spaced from the desert party but now realize it conflicts with Warwick Davis. So im thinking Rebel Lounge may be quicker but still tight time frames. Of course the one show i have little interest in is the earliest and its too early for tge meals so I cant use that chunk of time.

First world problems...huh??!!

Oh and I also held for the survey but I was disconnected....and I had a GREAT cast member!!!!
