Candlelight Processional ... question for parents of high school performers

[FlightlessDuck]

So my son's high school chorus will be performing at the Candlelight Processional this year.

At this point, either Disney has not told the chorus director, or the director has not told us which of the three shows the students perform during.

Just out of curiosity, do the same students sing in all three performances? If not, and your child sang, when did you find out which performance they were at? We want to book a dining package, to make sure we have seating. Hopefully we'll know which show by the time we can book!

Not sure about the Candlelight processional, I usually bring my choir during our spring break...but am interested in the answer! Would love to change it up and do the processional next time!

I do have a bit of advise though, call for your dining reservations at the 180 day mark. To get a large reservation for dinner is tough. Especially if you want the group to sit together, let alone sit at random table s around the restaurant...

Also, prepurchase Memory Maker and link all your accounts in MDE. This year, my choir of 24 had 1975 photo pass pictures that were all included in the memory maker purchase! Amazing amount of memories!

Oh, no, this is just for my family, not the chorus. We did our other ADR's already, but can't book the Candlelight Processing dining package until July.

My son did 3 years of candlelight processional; (he graduated HS last year) they are not told the schedule until November
The choirs can sing: just the first show of the evening
or they sing both 2nd and 3rd show
Parents are not given any special seating (unless you have the package), they have to make the standby line with everyone else
Kids are provided a snack backstage, a sandwich, cookies and drinks. Then they practice, sometimes the celebrity goes backstage and meets real fast with the choirt.
My son met Neil Patrick Harris, Edward James Olmos and Lea Salonga
He loved his experience

Book a lunch (1st show) and a dinner (3rd show time slot) when they become available, then you'll be covered either way. You can then just cancel whichever one you don't need.

Yeah, that's the plan.
