After Christmas trip planning

[lindseesmom]

My family and our friends are going to WDW Dec 29th for the week. We wanted to be there after Christmas and spend time with our families before we go away.
We are staying off property most of the trip but do have on property for 2 days.
I see a lot about the Candlelight Procession and dining package. Can someone tell me more about this? Also what other Christmas events should we take part in?
Thanks!

The Candlelight package is dinner and guaranteed seating at the show. It is a beautiful show featuring a celebrity narrator that tells the Christmas story and the music is all traditional Christmas music, performed by castmembers and local highschool and college choirs.

Keep in mind the last night for this is Dec 30. All special Christmas activities are pretty much over by the time you get there because Disney is gearing up for New years eve. You are also not staying on property so make sure that you are at the parks early, as they tend to fill early and at some point Disney resort guests may be the only ones allowed into the parks.
