Candle Light Processional Dining question

[TeresaWen]

I was not planning on going to WDW this year so I have not been paying attention to changes! Time to catch up and hoping someone can help.

Is the dining package for the Candle light Processional still booked separately or is it booked like a normal ADR (180 days out)? I remember a few years back getting on the phone at 7 the day packages were released – in July if I remember right.

We will be going for 7 nights in mid December. I don’t care which day, or even which restaurant (have some that I would prefer) and will do lunch or dinner.

Should I be looking to book this mid June or will packages be released at a later date?

Should I expect this to be difficult? It is the only dining reservation I care about.

Thank you!

Candlelight Processional Dinner Packages have not been released for booking yet.

The Candlelight Processional Dinner Package has always been separate from regular dining reservations. You can only book the package once it's available. Booking a normal ADR at a restaurant has no bearing on being able to book the CP package - you cannot "convert" a regular ADR to the package like some people ask about every year.

It will only be "difficult" if you're wanting to see a particularly popular presenter, like Neal Patrick Harris. He's really probably the only one who would be really difficult. A couple years ago I was able to get Whoopi Goldberg with no problem a while after the packages were available for booking. I kind of thought she'd be difficult as she's well known but it wasn't a big deal.

Thank you! Glad that is still the same.

Well, it has been. But Disney can change anything at any time.

I was told by a CM that tickets to the CLP go on sale in July. I plan on purchasing mine as soon as they come out, so chances are, we won't know who will be presenting at first.
