Candlelight Processional Dining package 2017 Watch -partial Narrator list updated Aug 25th

[lorileahb]

I went on website - searched Breakfast at Epcot on a lot of days - Akershus and Garden Grill didn't pull up on any of them... and when I searched lunch / dinner on a lot of days, also nothing. I'm still hoping they were held back... though, they may have just been rewarded to the up-all-nighters.

It went live around midnight from what I can tell from twitter. We snagged our dates, but I had a hard time getting the reservations for a client, and had to book a lunch instead of a dinner.

Did you book Akershus or Garden Grill?

May have gotten lost in all the post but can the people with a 8pm show stay in the seats for the fireworks?

I'd like to know the same thing- we have the 8:15 show dining package.

I checked until 2:30 am CST...no Garden Grill. And no again at 4:30 am CST.

Did you get Akershus?

We booked coral Reef, and Teppan Edo for client. Teppan Edo was the harder to reserve.

 

[Wendy Lantz]

Did you get Akershus?

No, sorry. From what I've seen booking for clients, I have not seen ANY Akershus open since the 180 mark. Not sure if they held any for CDP... I did not try to book at midnight when it opened, so who knows.

There are definitely days/times that are released and some that are not. It really doesn't make sense for there to be many times available on one day for Coral Reef/Teppan Edo (at this moment) and none one other week... I can't imagine a whole week selling out asap. but who knows.

 

[dtkids]

This is craziness. This is my first time doing any of this. Not the first night for me to be up all night. Husband is about ready to pull the plug on this whole thing. Shouldn't be this difficult/stressful.

I'll try calling at 6 am (CST) for Garden Grill. Hope whoever answers is full of lots of magic.

I would say no. You wouldn't be able to see anything taking place on the lake, because the stage would be in the way. I would recommend leaving the theatre to see fireworks.

how do I pick me show time? Would like to go for 6:45 pm however it appearances preselected when I book the dining reservation package (appears defaulting me to the 8:15 show). Thank you very much

Alright I keep trying...7am approaching...would it be worth it to call? And do the phones open up right at 7am then your in queue? Never called before? I have to get back to bed asap to work tonight :0

 

[dtkids]

Asking this question again, hoping there's an answer. On DDP...is this still worth doing since it's now 2 TS for all restaurants/meals? I guess just pay out of pocket?

 

[Wendy Lantz]

I checked until 2:30 am CST...no Garden Grill. And no again at 4:30 am CST.

So you tried Garden Grill at midnight until 2:30?

I have never had success with CM with reservations. If you can't see it online, most likely, they can't either. Then they will say its all booked and just tell you to try back. They aren't told anything about reservations being held back.

I just tried calling the dining number - no queue, hangs up on you after offering pre-recorded options.

 

[dtkids]

So you tried Garden Grill at midnight until 2:30?

Yes...every few minutes. 2:30 CST, I had to take a nap. 4:30, alarm went off. Nada Garden Grill.

No one will answer phones for another 15 minutes.

I'm so mad. In all my years planning Disney trips I've never had this much trouble getting what I wanted this far out. I'm not new at this and I'm one of the people up at 6am getting no sleep. I'm going to contact disney later today. After spending thousands of dollars on my vacation, it shouldn't be this stressful.
