Does anyone know if one particular seating for the CP is better than another? We are not doing the dinner package and I guess want the least crowded time. We do have dinner ressies at CM at 5pm, so couldnt do that one. I dont even know if making the 6:45 would be possible. We might just have to go with 8:15. We will be in EPCOT on Friday, December 2nd. No park hoppers so we cant hop over there on another day. Any suggestions? Thanks
 
i don't have experience yet, but from what I've read you need to line up pretty early to get into see the Candlelight Processional. I don't think you would be able to make the 6:45 performance if you have a 5:00 ADR at Chef Mickeys..
 
This will be our first yeat to do CP however I know you will not want to try to get to anything but the last performance. You won't want to feel rushed at Chef Mickey and to get from there to Epcot, even though it is easy on the monorail, you still have to walk ALL the way through Epcot. I don't know anything about the standby lines but I've heard you need to be there very early. Could you do CM another night? Especially because you don't need park passes for that meal maybe you could do it the night you arrive? Good luck!
 

I would go for the later one. After it is over, you can move slightly and still get a decent spot of Illuminations. All the shows on a given day have the same narrator. The student choirs change between the first and second shows but are the same for the second and third.
