2013 Candlelight Processional Watch

[ses1230]

Did you select your restaurant in the "Check Availability" form or did you leave it "All Available"?

If I left it "All Available" it would flip me to a second page that said something like "13 restaurants available" with a loading "spinner", but the restaurant list would never appear.

Try selecting your restaurant in the "Check Availability" pull-down and letting that form show you available times.

Thank you, that did it! Biergarten wasn't available though, which is odd to me, and of course that is what I wanted. I did get VN!!

YESSS!!! I'm so glad I'm addicted to this site. I was able to get France lunch CP Dining package! And thanks for the info about not selecting All Available; I was stuck on that other screen for a while till I read your post

Has anyone pulled up their reservation after they booked it to check? I just did and nowhere does it say Candlelight Processional even though it said that on my original screen when booked

I haven't. It did say Candlelight Processional and give me the show time on the confirmation screen though.

Thank you Dis!! Got mine for Teppan Edo @ 3:40 on December 5th!!! I didn't get an email confirmation yet but I pulled it up under "my reservations" and it says: Holidays Around the World - Candlelight Dinner Packages Teppan Edo Dinner so hopefully I'm all set!!

I pulled up my ressies after I had made them. The first one said:

"CAN - La Hacienda de San Angel Inn (6:45PM) Dinner"

I cancelled that and got one at Tokyo Dining that says:

"Holidays Around the World - Candlelight Dinner Packages Tokyo Dining Dinner"

...so it looks like at a minimum the verbiage varies from restaurant to restaurant. Though in both cases there was a reference to the CP package. On the flip side, doesn't having to give a CC imply that it is a CP reservation?

Min says the same as Immantini,

"CAN-Via Napoli (5:00PM) Lunch".

I take "CAN" as meaning Candlelight Processional.

Where on the confirmation does it say which show time you got? I got a 4:40 at Chef de France but nowhere do I see what show to attend. I looked on my reservations and it lists the CP along with my other dining places but I don't see the show time. Can someone tell me where they see that. I printed my confirmation number page and don't see it.

Thanks

I haven't. It did say Candlelight Processional and give me the show time on the confirmation screen though.

I never saw a show time and still don't see one on the confirmation but MDE shows:
Holidays Around the World - Candlelight Dinner Packages Chefs de France Dinner
Date: Saturday, December 14, 2013
Time: 5:00 PM
and my confirmation number.

So because of some "glitch" we've all been able to secure reservations 7 days in advance of when CMs are telling people.

 

[darrenf67]

I didn't get a show time either- I'm assuming when you turn up and get the ticket for the show it will be on that??

 

[dcessford]

Fixed it!! In the Canadian forum people had posted how they were disguising their IP to be able to access the MDE website. I gave the free trial a shot and low and behold we are now booked for 4:30 at Via Napoli on the day I wanted. 8:15 show

What "free trial" are you talking about?

 

[ajfd]

Based on what I have read elsewhere, your show time is based on your seating time. It will be similar to:

5:00 pm show = 2:30 - 2:30 pm lunch reservation
6:45 pm show = 3:30 - 4:15 pm dinner reservation
8:15 pm show = 4:20 - 5:45 pm dinner reservation

Did you have to give a credit card to secure the reservation?

I found this thread and started looking for openings on 12/4 or 12/5 about 15 minutes ago. The first time I searched, I had a lot of options, but when I clicked on a specific time, I got an error message. Now I'm not able to see availability for ANY restaurant on either day.

Looks like the loophole has been closed (for me, at least).

 

[jimandami]

I guess I am happy for you guys but I can't get anything to come up at all. It just says every single restaurant or time I choose is not available. And the drop down box won't even allow me to choose any time after 4:20 PM to check for. Disney really really needs to get it together!!

 

[Maleficent Dragon]

It looks like Disney may have caught the issue and closed the door.

 

[Disneymoon2013]

I just tried, too, after seeing these posts on the iphone app. I'm also not able to book... unless every single restaurant for 12/5 has already been totally booked in that narrow window. If it has, then no candlelight processional for us.

Me, too.

Congratulations to all who got in before the glitch was fixed. Honestly though, there should be plenty of availability when it opens up and it changes constantly. I really didn't like trying to book without knowing who the narrator would be for that night. For me, that is alot of the experience.

Yes.

Free trial is a for an application called TunnelBear. You can read about it in the thread in the Canadian forum in this thread which should explain it all a little better than I can http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=3131359
