Candlelight Processional and tier question

[dis2cruise]

if a resturant that we want to eat at is a tier 2 catagory do we get seated (to see the processional ) in a different area then lets say tier 1 or 3 or do all the tiers sit in the same area??

Do I have a reserved seat at the show?

Not exactly. There is a reserved section for those with the dinner package. The reserved section is front and center, behind any VIP seating. Within the reserved section, seating is on a first come, first serve basis, so if you want your choice of seats, you should arrive 30-45 minutes early. 15 minutes prior to the show beginning, available seating is opened up to folks without dinner package tickets.
I think it is just the restaurant pricing

To make this simpler... If you get a package you basically get into the CP first. You get to choose your seat from anywhere in the house. There is not assigned seating. The Tiers reflect the show times. The later shows are more popular because it is dark and more effective with the lights and such. So Tier 1 is the first show, etc... And with the tiers, there are specific dining times which also reflects the cost. If you do the first show you are ideally eating during lunch hours. The other two you are eating during early or late dinner hours.

hope that helps!

The tiers reflect the restaurant pricing, not the showtimes, not the seating. The higher the tier, the more expensive the restaurant.

If you want a really good seat at CP, I strongly suggest getting in the package line 45 minutes before showtime.

We were at one of the CP's last year December and there was a lot of confusion over the tiers and the seating.

So, after talking to a lot of CM's especially the one's in the booth near the American Pavillion it works like this...

The price ONLY reflects the cost of the rest and meal - and has NOTHING to do with seating - priority or otherwise..you get in a line just like everyone else...

There is no special section reserved (like at Fantasmic).

Line ups start about an hour before the show especially on the busy nights ( weekends and near Christmas).

NO amount of complaining over the price you paid for dinner gets you in any earlier or better - believe me - their were a lot of folks trying...

The only thing I can say is that at maybe a simpler or faster rest you can get out earlier to get into the line faster...

We managed to get into LeCellier and had to make a beeline for the line up after the meal..no LeCellier is not slow - we just took our time so it was our own fault..
