Candlelight Processional Package

[lam0037]

As I'm making plans for our December trip, Candelight Processional is on our must-do list. I've been at Disney a couple of times before Christmas but have never gotten around to viewing it. My questions are about the Dining Package. Is there a difference between reserving a lunch and dinner package? What restaurants are offered? And is it really worth the extra price or has trying to get a seat without the package worked for anyone?

TIA,
Lauren

The lunch reservations have an earlier show and the dinner has a later.

Worth is relative. It is a guaranteed seat and relatively minimal waiting (~45 mins...not 4 hours). We did dinner and the package with NPH and very few people other than the CP folks got a seat and many waited for a very long time.
I can't speak for every night of the CP...I imagine popularity of narrator does have an impact

We are going this year between Christmas and New Year and will be doing the package again.

Here's the timing and pricing from last year:

The only difference between the lunch and dinner packages is the price and which show you're allowed to see (you see the first show with lunch and the second or third show with dinner). With regards to your other questions, check out this post from easywdw.com:

Thanks so much! We had planned on doing dinner right before illuminations but preferred the earlier time slot for the show so we might just switch to a lunch and do the package!

Do they have handicapped seating as they do for Fantasmic?

Yes, there are wheelchair areas.
