2013 Candlelight Processional Watch

[Lorelei528]

With all these headaches so many of you went through this morning it makes me so much more grateful I was able to get my ADR for the CL package last week with Disney's brief window of opportunity in error. Like so many of you have said, it is absolutely pathetic Disney continues to be plagued with online problems. At this point in time there are no excuses for this.

I had a ressie booked also, it was showing up in my MDE and everything....this morning I noticed we could eat a bit later, so I called to change our ressie....

Now, nothing is showing up in our MDE!! I called back and they confirmed the new time is in the system, but I would feel better if it was showing up in MDE! Ack. Everything else is showing up.

I think there are some issues with the MDE website currently though as sometimes it won't load "my plans" at all and it also says it is unable to show "my reservations" currently...(except again, all ressies except for this new one are showing in the "my plans" page).

Sigh.....

I am only seeing 4:20 as the latest you can search for a reservation online - Should I call to get later or is 5:00 really the latest?

I think it depends on the day and the restaurant...but I was able to get 5:00 at La Hacienda on 12/8. If you pick the 4:20, other times come up...

I canceled mine I don't know I just don't think I want to spend that much on it this year. I've seen the show before & it's good but it's about like MVMCP I just don't think I can justify the extra cost or 2 dp credits. So a lunch adr on Dec 3rd is open.

My DD is a huge Neil Patrick Harris fan so I booked the Biergarten for lunch on 12/24 which is currently a "TBD". I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will turn into a "NPH", . We are paying $32.99 + tax and it's the cheapest of all of the CPs. We could also get Via Napoli for $8 more per person. I tried to book online but it was too messed up so I ended up calling DVC reservations and only had to wait about 5 minutes.

It will check a couple hours surrounding that 4:20. It tou want a later res (such as a 5 or 530), click on the 420 from 330 to 530.

Le Cellier isn't showing on the list of restaurants available....or in the pull down choices. Speculation is that since Le Cellier is typically 2 credits that it won't be available for CP. All the restaurants that are available for CP are typically 1 credit, but for the CP you have to pay the extra credit.

Le cellier is not a participating restaurant this year. I have confirmation of that from 3 seperate cm's from CRO.

Dont be surprised if it is Gary Sinise.

I won't be as it's been Gary Sinise before. If it is, I'll be canceling. Not that I mind Gary Sinise, but we would be going for NPH, not for the CP. I would rather spend $100 on a better meal and skip the CP.

I was only pulling 420 times this morning. When I called I was able to get a 545 time. My sister was able to get a 530 time as well.

I saw a lot of questions about package prices; if anyone is still wondering, themouseforless has 2013 CP prices listed by restaurant and meal.

How are you guys getting though online? lol....I've been trying since 9am!!!
I did call at 8am this morning and was able to get CP Coral Reef but I wanted to see if there are other options. I've been trying since 9am and all i get is the spinning wheel searaching for a CP package...lol

If you haven't done this yet, try choosing a specific restaurant instead of the all available option.

Thank You!!!!

Or try going to "make a dining reservation" and putting in a specific time. All available ADRs, including many CP ressies, came up for me this way.

Very interesting! A friend phoned Disney TWICE today and was told both times that Via Napoli was NOT included in the Candlelight packages this year. I could have sworn I saw Via Napoli as included on the website. I went to check and sure enough, Via Napoli was there AND showed availability for my friend's date. I went ahead and booked it online. The cast member on the phone with my friend assured her that I was wrong, during the second call. Talk about frustrating!!!!!

Out of curiousity, are you using tunnelbear to get you to the US website? If not, did you book through the old site? I still can not get it to load. I'm curious as to what the problem is

OK...so thanks for the tips above I was able to get lunch at Chef de la France (DD19 really wanted to dine there for the hope of seeing Remy) but I didn't get a CP show time??

You're good...and Remy should make his scheduled appearance at 12:50. We booked the same time for the same reason, earlier in the month. The show will be the 5pm show.

Yes, I am using Tunnelbear. I don't think this package can be booked on the old site.

For me, other than Ellen DeGeneres, Oprah Winfrey or any politician, I really don't care who the moderator will be.
