Candlelight Processional small update...

[BryANDJessMom]

just spoke to annual pass customer service. They said that if you want to attend the CP on the Dec 2 weekend you can sign up for the holiday tour for $150 each and then get seating forCP and the parade.

Otherwise, there will be a lottery for annual passholders and they are expecting to have more info in the next few days....

Sounds like what I was told by Vacation Planning a few weeks ago. I asked to be booked for the Holiday Tour & the CM told me there will be a Premium Holiday Tour for $150 which will include reserved seating for CP. He said no discounts will apply. I don't have APs, so I guess that tour will be open to everyone. I didn't ask for any other details. I plan to call next week after my booking date & confirm if he was able to get it for us. I'm gonna ask a few more questions when I call so I'll post any info I get.

Oh, well, you got more info than I did before. I have been calling every week for the last couple of months and this was the first I heard of the tour having VIP seating...

The agent said that they should know more any day..I think she was thinking by Monday but didn't know for sure...

We are only going one weekend...Dec 8th...we are about 6 hours away....I hope we can get in for the lottery then...

I find it a bit strange that they haven't announced the lottery yet...a bit frustrating for those APs that don't live in the LA area!

I thought the lottery for the AP's was only for the first two nights.

oooh thanks for sharing! We aren't going until next year since we just got back from our trip (or third! HA!) for this year, but I really want to do the Holiday tour next year. It's great to know that the seats for the processional and parade are included!

Nope, first two nights are invitation only....the others will be by lottery for AP holders and open to guest who purchase a dining package.

I booked the holiday tour yesterday for Sat Dec 1.
The only regular tour was 10:30. CM didn't know when parade was as it was not listed yet but said the tour always ended with parade. Today I see that parades are 1 and 3:30. I was surprised that the parades are listed so early but maybe because of CP?

What about the Ultimate Holiday Tour?

What about the Ultimate Holiday Tour?

Sent too soon. I was told it was the opposite. That the lottery was the first two days and the Ultimate Holiday Tour was until the 20th. Has anyone else called and received similar info or something totally different then what we've heard?
Thanks,
