Candlelight Dining 3pm Via Napoli too late for 5pm show?

[choover2576]

I saw on another thread that we should arrive no later than 45 minute before showtime for Candlelight Processional Dining Packages.

We have a 3pm Via Napoli reservation for the 5pm show on Christmas Eve. Are we cutting it too close?
TIA!

I always allow 90 minutes for a TS meal, so yes, I'd say you're cutting it too close.

Thanks Alesia. I was surprised I was able to just change it to 2:40pm. I think that should give us enough time.

I admit being out of the current loop on CP packages, but in the past for the 5 pm show, you had to book a lunch. Only the later shows allowed you to book dinner. Although maybe 3 pm and 2:40 are considered lunch reservations.

Sorry for the confusion. We have a 10am Garden Grill package and a regular 2:40 Via Napoli reservation. We will be stuffing our faces, but I really wanted to try both restaurants and we plan on heading out right after the processional.

Our service at Via Napoli was the worst of our trip, everything was so slow! I'd try and move it (or go elsewhere) earlier.
