Try restarting while holding the eject button or try doing it with the trackpad pressed down.

    1 - enter the following command into the Terminal app followed by either the Enter or Return key:

    drutil tray eject

    You many have to do it several times in a row.

     

    2 - If that fails some have had success by slipping a  index card or stock of about the same stiffness in the slot trying to get it under the disk and then run the eject command again. 

     

    3 - lastly make an appointment at the nearest Apple Genius Bar or Apple Authorized Service Provider to have it removed.
