Candlelight Processional Dinner - Watching & Waiting

[motsmom]

My wonderful CM has us booked at Biergarten for dinner on 12/10 at 4:00, CP at 6:45!! Yeah, seein' Whoopi in person...everyone said she was fabulous last year!! wahoo!!!

We are paying for this instead of using 2 credits each and wanted to be close to the theatre so we wouldn't have to dash around the lake so this is perfect

Dialing for 45 mins and on hold for 50....

Can someone confirm the pricing when they call? The pricing posted looks like last years pricing for me.

I was thinking the same thing that the price list is from last year.

When I made our reservation for the 8:15pm show, the Biergarten is $50.05/adults. (which is more than it was last year)

I was so excited to get through I forgot to ask the CM about the reserved viewing area for Illuminations. Does anyone know if they are doing that this year and where it is? I got ressies for the 8:15 show. Is that enough time to get to the area?

30 minutes later a very efficient Foster picked up and I got everything I wanted. Had to review it 3 times with her I was so stunned!!!!!

Thurs 12/9 8:15 show 4 adults 1 child Le Cellier at 5:20pm.

I am in awe and disbelief.

YeeHaw!!! LeCellier on the 21st for the 8:15pm show...thrilled!!!

I'm booked..... DOING THE HAPPY DANCE!!!!
Got a late lunch at Le Cellier 3:35 (which is fine by me) for the 6:45 Show.
Being that it's our first time in Dec. I am happy with what I got. Thank goodness it is over.

Finally got through at 7:50 after hitting redial for 50 minutes. I have been on hold for 21 minutes. I wanted Le Cellier for the late show on Dec 23.LOL. I will be lucky to get anything

Just got disconnected after 35 minutes. My blood pressure must be rising. Think I will give DVC Member services a call at 9 and try and see

 

[ChildAtHeart82]

Well done! I'm a bit worried I might not get what we want as we are trying to get chefs on 12/24 at 5pm for the 8.15 cp. I'm willing to be flexible, will take whatever they have on that date. Fingers crossed!

Just talked to a CM about 10 minutes ago and all they had availbe for the 8:15 show on 12/24 was Teppan Edo, Rose & Crown, and Tokyo Dining. We wanted Chefs as well. I didn't ask about the other show times.

I GOT THRU! Didnt get on hold until 8:03 and just got off the phone with a wonderful cm. I can't believe there were still reservation for christmas eve! I gave up around 7:45 and called my bf crying. He cheered me and we both started calling again. So thankful he talked me out of giving up. This is our christmas present to my family

I got Whoopi for my DSis/DCuz too. Le Cellier on December 11th. It was the only package that I couldn't get the last show of the evening for, but it's wonderful to have the ADRs.

I booked 4 packages, 2 at Le Cellier, 1 at Garden Grill and 1 at Biergarten...different days. 12/11, 12/13, 13/16 and 12/29. Whew, I'm glad that's over!!!!

PS. I copied down the Le Cellier price wrong. Once I put $66.02 and the other time $60.02. Does anyone know which is correct?

 

[Tundo147]

Didnt get home from work until 745. Only 5 minutes of busy signals 35 minutes on hold and I got what I wanted Le Cellier 345 for a party of four on 12/4 for 615 Candlelight. First time eating at Le Cellier.

We're doing Teppan Edo and the pricing was $66.02/person.

I was so excited to get through I forgot to ask the CM about the reserved viewing area for Illuminations. Does anyone know if they are doing that this year and where it is? I got ressies for the 8:15 show. Is that enough time to get to the area?

My CM mentioned the reserved viewing area, but I didn't ask for any more info. Everything I've read says that it's enough time but you'll have a long brisk walk. The viewing area is near the entrance to World Showcase from the Future area. Also, the previous two shows people will already be there so we'll be standing behind them. We'll probably just try to find a better spot to see the fireworks from.

I wrote down $66 for LeCellier. (Maybe I didn't listen to the cents part because I don't have the $.02. )

I specifically asked about it. Yes, there is an Illuminations area included with the CP package. The CM told me that the area would be determined by where you ate and at what time. We will be told at the dining location where the Illuminations area is.

Sheesh! This is insane! I called first thing this morning and got threw the first time. I was feeling very lucky. I also got the 30 min wait. So I loaded the kids up in the car, switched over to hands free and off we went to school. We are happily singing along when BAM.... the local radio station started playing! My call dropped. I had been on hold for about 20min. So I was pretty close to my place in line! Ugh.... AT&T and iPhones are great at dropping calls!

Finally, about 5 min ago I finally managed to get back on hold. Hopefully something is still open. I am like a few others, I only have 1 day I can go, Nov 26th....

 

[spokanemom]

Any word if Via Napoli is an option?

No, I was told it was not.

I could answer your question, if I could speak to someone at wdw-dine. I've been trying to call to make reservations since 7:15 this morning and all I get is a busy signal or get told all currents are busy, please try your call again later. This is getting very frustated. When I speak with someone I'll ask your questions.
