Candlelight Processional 2024

Josh Gad will be there during my trip! I may have to switch our parks around as we have a HEA dessert party on the 30th and I was planning to avoid Epcot on the 29th since the festival is starting, but may just deal with it. I did the first day of FARTs one year and lines were so long but I suppose the Holidays booths don't have nearly the same appeal lol.

The 29th is the only day we can attend also. Hoping to get a dining package for that day!
 

Assume these are at 6am ET on 10/29, like regular ADRs?
 
How do I choose between Tituss Burgess, Brendan Fraser, and Ralph Macchio? What a dilemma!
 
This list is so so good. I planned Epcot on a NPH day so hopefully I can get a reservation. I really hope the list of restaurants is as big as it appears as the ones last year we aren’t particular fans of.

So do you book on MDE at 6am EST on 10/29? And do you search “Candlelight Processional” then proceed with picking your restaurant?

For same day dining packing, can someone confirm that you can only purchase in person in a Epcot day of?

Yes both are correct. Sometimes they do not have availability for same day too. If narrator is more popular, there may not have any openings unless cancellations happen
 
Looks like alcohol is now included. Which definitely means a price hike.

How about Via Napoli? How will the dining package work with Pizza?
 
Anyone have any insight if it’s hard to get a reservation for 8, and if I should try doing 2 reservations for 4 vs one for 8?

No direct info, but I've played with ADRs on the app with various numbers of people, and it does make a difference if you are doing 2 x 4 vs. 8.

I would go 2 x 4, if you have a second person that can do one group and you can do the other.

Thanks. The other thing I’m thinking is a lunch reservation is probably easier to get than a dinner reservation.
 
I’ll give it a try and if it works out, it works out. If it doesn’t I will have yet another reason to return during the holidays another year!

Last time we did CP at Via Nap and ordered pizza - you could only get to the individual size pie.
