Candlelight Processional 2008 Info Thread

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

I can't wait for 7:00am on Monday!

I would like to book the Rose & Crown for 12/13/08 for lunch and pray that we get someone great in that TBD slot. My MIL is a bit on the medically fragile side and has mobility issues. While she will be on a I don't want to chance it and not be able to get seats for all of us. I think my MIL is going to love CP.

So, when & where do you hope to book for CP on Monday 06/23/08 @ 7:00am?

I just got off the phone with the IPO for WL and she gave me the dining times for the CP packages this year
5:00 show= ADR time from 1:45-2:30
6:45= ADR time from 3:30-4:15
8:15= ADR time from 5:00-5:35

All of them!! I'm a local and can cancel within the 48 hour deadline and not have my card charged. I do this now since you don't have to pay upfront anymore,and the narrator list changes constantly.

So you take spots away from other people who really need them? Nice.

We have a couple of options but really want Christmas Eve at Rose & Crown.

 

[*KeepMovingForward*]

We are going to try for Rose & Crown on Christmas Day.

 

[disgrits]

Do we have to wait until our 180 day mark or can we reserve for any date during that time? My 180 day mark won't be until the 24th or 25th. Thanks in advance.

 

[Mickeefan]

Does anyone know if the DDP can be used for this package? I want San Angel Inn for the 8:15 show on 12/5. If the DDP can not be used, can we use the DDE card?

Yeah I agree with the other poster that commented on this: I think its kind of rude to book all of them just for the options later.

I am only there for 5 days so I am very very limited on when I can do this as we are only at Epcot one of those days. I want Le Cellier and a 6:45 show but I'm afraid that people who do what you are going to do is going to make it much harder on the rest of us. Especially if you are planning to hold the days until 2 days out from the event!

This is what the DIS has posted w/the package prices:

"All dining will be scheduled prior to the performance time chosen. Separate lunch pricing for the 5:00pm Candlelight Processional Guests who have the Magic Your Way Dining Package or MYW Premium or Platinum packages will use 1 dinner entitlement regardless of which restaurant is chosen. "

HTH!

HTH!

Does this mean we have to have a "lunchtime" reservation and attend the 5:00 CP in order to use the DDP?

Sorry, but this bugs me. We're only going to be at Epcot for one night during our trip and if we can't get a CP package, I'd hate to think it's because other folks are holding tons of reservations so they can decide at the last minute when they want to go.

You'll have to have a lunchtime reservation to attend the 5:00 CP. Doesn't matter how you're paying for it.

Thats useful information, thank you.

I will be hoping for a 5:00-5:35 ADR at Tutto Italia.

 

[letthewookiewin]

Thanks for the info, I will have to get up early on Monday to call. I am hoping to change our 12:30 ressie at Garden Grill on December 13th to the Candlight Processional package for the 5:00 PM show. I just wish they had an actual narrator's name instead of it being listed as TBA OR TBD.
