Candlelight Processional Dinner - Watching & Waiting

[topmonkeygirl]

Why doesn't Disney just set the day, and if that day comes and goes and they're not ready just reset it? That would save both their employees and us alot of time and trouble.

I am up for another morning call.

I normally do not say this but this is really getting old. I am so exhausted from real life right now that calling each morning is becoming a chore.

The site for CP is not updated and I suspect that the narrators will be listed by the time they start offering packages but who knows what Disney is doing any more.

I hope whoever is in charge of getting the signed contracts is losing as much sleep as we all are.

Good morning all!

 

[Mineu]

no updates

 

[ChildAtHeart82]

Not yet. Talked to Cindy this morning and she was very nice!

 

[Twende]

Not this morning. Back to bed....I wish!

 

[ShanF]

Not today Pauline said not anytime soon as they haven't even been briefed on that info. Augh!!! Just announce the date already!!

 

[ChildAtHeart82]

Well, I'm on a road trip for the next two weeks and will likely not have internet. I was lucky enough to have enough free internet at the hotel we were staying at for this morning. I'll be waiting and calling along with you guys but I won't be posting anything. Here's hoping it's not too much longer!

I'll be away from home too-incidently at WDW. I guess I'll be having to push that Disney Din ing button on our room phone for updates!

This is just crazy.... i feel like this every morning. Unfortunately this is the only thing I am waiting for to complete my reservations.

This is playing havoc with the school summer holidays for me, as I'm in the UK the phone lines open at 12 midday for me. The day that Disney release the packages is bound to be a day that we go out on a trip.

Not sure why we are being told the delay with CP Dining res is because the list of narrators is not complete. Very clearly Disney states the list is subject to change w/o notice and has made changes in the past. So, you are not confirming a specific narrator but a time and restaurant meal... Now it seems the CMs are saying they don't have any info on a date since the "end of July" date is here! I am beginning to think all the effort to get an ADR for CP isn't worth it... maybe it will just be easier to plan on using one TS on the DDP for a good meal and just stand in the back and listen to the music at CP????

 

[DisneyaHolic23]

Well, I think I am done with 4:00 AM wake-ups. I am going to trust that Disney will give us notice, and just wait for the date to be released. 4:00 AM is messing with my summer too, and I simply am tired all the time!

So, if they do open the reservations without warning, I hope one of you diehards gets my LeCellier reservation!

I really doubt that one.. they are probley not out of bed until they have to be for work and don't even look at this stuff until they get a contract that they have to add.. If they did they might work a litle harder to get this done!

At this point I really don't mind where I eat, I just want to book it. It will be our Honeymoon and our first time in December.... does this always happen or is this unusual?

Congrats!!! I hope that you get what you are looking for.. It is a very special time anyway much less on a honeymoon!!!

Ok, well I talked to a lady yesterday evening that was just SO nice. She was just a sweetie.. You could tell something was a little wrong. I was chatting and she told me that she had just been yelled at by someone because the CP were not out yet.. That was just uncalled for. I know that people get upset. I know I have a couple of times when I ask and all I get is that they are not out yet and then right away have a nice day when there is something else that I need to check. But it is Disney upper management that does this sorta stuff not the little people that answer your phone calls. So please be nice to the CM's that you talk to.. I felt so bad for her yesterday as there isn't a thing that she could do to make the package come out any faster.. She has to say what is told to her. So spread your own Pixie dust!!!!! JMO...

OK, so I called AGAIN... yesterday afternoon... The very nice CM I spoke to (can't remember her name) told me that they were supposed to start taking bookings at the end of July but that it has been delayed... She did not know why but said that the unofficial word now is end of August... She did suggest to keep calling though just in case...

I am not looking forward to the long distance charges on my next phone bill....

Since this will be my first time at WDW during holiday seasons, can someone tell me if it is truly worth all this hassle and stress?

 

[hmdavid]

I have been lurking on this thread so that I know when to book our CP package. This is our first time doing the package, so I am not certain, but I think I remember the info being posted on the DIS a couple of days before booking began the last couple of years. If that is true, it would save some early morning calls for some of you, especially the west coasters! Regardless, I hope we all get what we are hoping for once the packages are released!!!

I was just now told by CM Jose to be sure to call back tomorrow! I sure hope he is right and not just toying with me....

I was also told to call back. However as I was told before, it would be for late fall room discounts. I just don't believe anything with all the different stories....

 

[Patti Q]

I just call and the CM said that she knew it was suppose to be released the end of July but they had not heard anything as of yet. I wish Disney would just say when so you didn't have to call every day!

 

[Boardwalk Tigger]

Have they ever released these on a Sunday before?
Just seems unlikely!
