2013 Candlelight Processional Watch

[beautygirlsmom]

Okay - so, I've never done this online before - I got a reservation, but it doesn't tell me which Candlelight show?? It just says Holidays Around the World....and the lunch time.

Just got a reservation. Via Napoli at 4:20 with a 8:15 show on Dec 12. Thank you Dis Boards!

If they're going day-by-day, why can't I find a single lunch for 12/8? I can find 3:30 "dinner" but not paying dinner prices....

When I asked for all available restaurants, it would just spin, but when I chose a restaurant, it showed availability. Good Luck with your requests.

 

[glnrcker]

That's correct to Holidays Around The World and time.

 

[wrighter]

I got all the way through the ressie and then it booted me out. Grrr. Now it's not letting me choose lunch at all on the day I'm looking.

And this is all on the ipad. On the desktop it's not letting me into the system at all through the dining page. Or anywhere else as far as I can tell.

This is really fun. Now I know why I never do this!

Who knows, they could be holding out on that show because they're not doing an early one, it's private, they want to hold back on it for some other reason... I guess only Disney can answer that question!

Yeah, the whole site is being really wonky. I thought I had a CP lunch ressie, but then it erased my personal info on the Disney Experience so I couldn't find anything. I think it's there, but I didn't write down the confirmation number right away so if it got lost, I don't have any proof......this is crazy!

Lunchtime bookings are for the 5pm show.

That totally sucked.

You have to keep retrying, try again, hit the back button. What a joke Disney's site is. But alas, I got one.

Now, it has nowhere on here the time of the show.

It used to be 4:00 dinner = 6:45 show. 5:00 dinner = 8:15 show. So now what?

If you get Server Busy Donald, just hit "Refresh" on your browser.

You should get a warning along the lines of "Your form data will be resubmitted" or similar... just hit "OK". It _should_ just pick up where you left off. If you get Donald a second or third time, you can hit refresh again. More than that and you may want to start over.

Mine is not showing up at the moment either (ie none of my dining reservations). I'm relaxed about it as I'd imagine it's just a busy time for the servers right now.

 

[wrighter]

When it says no time available, click on your date again, you need to reselect it. Ask me how I know, lol!

All dates open now!

Just wanted to thank you, Franrose, for this nugget of info! This is what was holding me up! Love my fellow DISers.

Just got a reservation. Via Napoli at 4:20 with a 8:15 show on Dec 12. Thank you Dis Boards!

I thought the times were these:
Show 1 (5:00pm): Dining reservation between 1:45pm-2:45pm
Show 2 (6:45pm): Dining reservation between 3:30pm-4:30pm
Show 3 (8:15pm): Dining reservation between 5:00pm-6:00pm


I also got a 4:20 - but it doesn't tell me what time the show is! I wanted the middle show! Nothing is showing me what time the show is for the package I booked!!! Does anyone see the 2013 dinner/show time chart from Disney??

 

[AmyB2006]

For anyone who has gotten a reservation... Does it specifically state on your confirmation what show you are going to? Or just the dinner time?

Typically yes. But it also shows up on your reservation page as well, and it's not. That's why I'm asking.

Woot Woot! Almost had a heart attack there because in the screen before you confirm the cc on file, it gave me the screen that said the server was busy or they were performing system updates. I hit refresh and it let me finish. Thank Gosh! Tutto Italia for 12/9 @4:45p. So excited! Good luck to everyone else. I hope you get what you want! Now if only they would announce who will be performing that night. Fingers crossed for NPH. That would make the entire vacation.

I just got mine booked and I can definitely feel the system is bogged down. It took me about 10 minutes to make the ressie as it was SLOW.

Dec 14 @ Via Napoli for the 8:15 show.

So obviously I haven't got my confirmation email yet for the CP ressie I just made - but when I made it, there was a "(5:00)" listed just after the ressie that corresponds to our presumed showtime. This was a lunch ressie, so we figured it would be the 5:00 show.

Interestingly, my lunch CP ressie was for 12:45 - which isn't in the traditional times listed for these ressies. Weird. Eagerly waiting for that confirmation email just to make sure the confirmation number I got wasn't lost in space.

Not sure if it makes a difference, but I made the ressie on the ipad, which I'm finding is very different than using the desktop. I still don't have a screen anywhere on the desktop where I can be making these ressies right now? Sigh. Technology.

Good luck! At least you got a ressie!

Okay, so at first, it only let me book Coral Reef - only restaurant that showed availability. I booked it, no show time. Then I refreshed nine times, and it showed availability for La Hacienda. I booked that - cancelled Coral Reef, and it gave me a show time. I refreshed again, finally got the restaurant I want, but it doesn't give me a show time (although that's definitely dinner, so I'm assuming the last show.
