Candlelight Processional..what time for ADR if you want to go to the 8:45 show?

[vbarry]

Just wondering what time you make your ADR. We may do this on arrival day but depending on flights we may not get in until 3:00. Just wondering if we would have enough time. Would a 6:00 ADR give us enough time to make it to the show. I would want to be in line early enough to make sure we got a good seat.

Yes, 6:00 should be just fine. You will want to line up at least 1/2 before the show.

That being said......the last two years that we have gone, the last show was at 8:15 not 8:45, unless you have read that times have changed, you should pay attention for the real show time to think about if the 6:00 dinner time would work for you.

I just looked at it said 8:15...sorry about that. Is 6:00 still o.k. We are either doing LeCellier or Coral Reef.

If it were me, I would try for a different night. Way too many chances for something to go wrong. What if your flight is delayed?
If you arrive at MCO at 3:00, you won't get to your resort until 4:00 at the earliest. You will want to go to your room and freshen up for a bit. Now, it's 5:00. Then you will need to get to Epcot. I see that you own at BCV...still, that will take you about 20 mins to get to either restaurant. It's just too close for me.
If you can get a flight that gets in before noon, then I would say go for it.

 

[vbarry]

Your probably right. I may try to drive to a different airport and take an earlier flight that would get there about noon. Can you make a CP package two nights in a row and what is the cancellation policy if we could not make it? We will be on the dining plan.

At this point we are coming in on Dec 23 and then I would just do the package on Dec 24. If we end up not being able to come in until the 24th I would like to do it that night and use Dec 25 as a back up. This is all going to depend on flight costs etc.

You guarantee the package with a credit card and if you do not show up you will be charged. CP dinner packages are very much in demand and if you reserve you better plan on being there.

Now, I don't know how being on the dining plan effects the CP package. It is a higher price than a typical dinner because you are really paying more for the advance admittance ability.

Years ago we would go to the 6:45 CP and the have dinner reservations later but in the past two years this has all changed. You must now dine before the show and they book you in quite early. Last year I phoned for a CP 8:45 package, phoned first thing in the morning and got a 5:00 dinner reservation. They push the CP packages early so I would be unsure on wether you could get a 6:00 reservation for a 8:15 CP show

I never book CP on our arrival day - too many things could make you loose all your $$ and your reservation! You never know where your flight originates from - weather is a HUGE factor in December.

Sorry to hi-jack but where can I get info on the CP's for 2008?? We have never been and I don't know where to start for times/dates etc.

Thanks in advance for your help.
