UPDATE: Great news! Disney has opened online Advance Dining Reservations for Rebel Hangar for WEEKDAYS in addition to Star Wars Weekends, from May 15 through June 14th!Star Wars Weekends
begin at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on May 15th and WE. CAN’T. WAIT!
Especially now, since there’s a whole new dining hangout for all you Rebels out there coming to Echo Lake: the Rebel Hangar: A Star Wars Lounge Experience!
Here’s what we know: according to Disney, the Rebel Hangar was “once a known hangout of Rebel pilots, aliens, and smugglers.” Themeing of the atmosphere will be a major part of the experience, with abandoned spacecraft and remnants of vehicles framing the entry. But themeing of the FOOD seems to be just as much of a draw!
Among the items on the menu: some Fruit and Cheese Sabers…

The Slider Sampler featuring “The Sith” barbecue-braised brisket and “The Jedi” barbecued pulled chicken features items for your inner Jedi or your Dark Side.

These are ideas are great for Star Wars themed birthday parties.
OK, Ensalada Naboo and the Slider Sampler are on the list for the first visit!!
Maybe both during the same visit…
Do we know where this will be held?
Tried booking for the weekend Frank Oz is there, all booked up. Any idea if they will take walk ups on a wait list?
Beth, I just booked ours yesterday and it says it says Backlot Express lounge.
FYI…this is already sold out for May 15-17 and May 22. So bummed that this went so fast…I’m crossing my fingers for a cancellation or that I can score a walkup.
I called at 10am EST this morning and there were no available times AT ALL! I live in Orlando so was open to take any time, the kind lady tried for 10 minutes and tried for every date and time but no luck. I so wanted to go!!!!! Didn’t manage to get in for either of the other Star Wars meals either. Our first Star Wars weekends living in Orlando isn’t going to be as good as I’d hoped!
I love the two sliders, especially the dark side! It’s so clever.
Mary,
Keep trying because you never know. I booked on the 5th for May 23 and at first it kept saying it was sold out. Then it said it could search for tables (it was overloaded, I think). I just kept hitting, Find a Table, and finally it came up with options. From what I hear, they have been having some ups and downs with this where it will say the reservations for this particular things are sold out or can’t be searched and then the system will “right itself” and tables will be available. So, you never know.
As both a huge Disney fan and a huge Star Wars fan, I am loving this marriage between the two. Especially the stuff they’re cooking up in the parks. That Sith slider looks awesome. I’m guessing the bun is made with squid ink, which is used to dye a lot of foods black in Japan, but that could be an allergy problem so maybe it’s just food coloring.
Is the Rebel Lounge ONLY open for the Star Wars weekends? We have a trip planned for October 2015 and the rebel lounge and its food sounds amazing…don’t want to miss out on it the rest of the year!! Any info would be appreciated, thank you! 🙂
Lindsay — Right now, it’s only scheduled to be opened during Star Wars Weekends. But you never know…fingers crossed! 🙂
This looks like it could’ve been a big draw. Too bad it’s only temporary. I would’ve loved to do this.
I just got my Reservation for June 1. There are lots of times now during the week. Better hurry before they are all gone!! I could not get any on the weekends I am glad they decided to go all week long.
Will there be character appearances at the Rebel Hangar?
Jennifer — Thanks for the update!!
Gotta say, that Jabba the Hut cupcake is looking pretty stellar 🙂
This was by far the worst food experience at Disney World hands down. We ordered the waffles and chicken and the corn dogs. The food tastes like it was cooked in 4 week old grease. The service was awful. We had to ask 4 different people six times for ketchup. 2 adults 3 kids was $120.00 and no alcohol was ordered.
Save your money!! The food was terrible and the service even worse!
Family of 5 no alcohol was over $140.00.
Is there a kids menu?
