Candlelight Processional (when you have dinner package)

[tofubeast]

If you have a dinner package, how far in advance should you appear prior to your designated showtime?
TIA

 

[CynBeth]

In the past we went to the package line 30-45 minutes before our show time.

We're usually in line 45 minutes prior and end up sitting somewhere near the middle. The lines get really long less than 30 minutes before the show.

That really depends on the narrator. Some narrators are VERY popular and the stand-by lines will get very long very quickly.

Thanks! First time going and on opening night, too! I’m excited!

If you are cleared for DAS, are you able to check-in and return later?

DAS is not used for the Candlelight Processional.

Even when someone is using an ECV?

The package entrance typically has a separate line for ECVs. Not sure if they have the same setup on the standby entrance side.

With dining packages being so limited this year, wondering if we really need to line up as early as in past years. I’m looking forward to hearing how this goes for people. We aren’t going until 12/19.

We'll be there next Friday, December 3rd....if we dont have dinner package, any idea how far in advance we'd have to line up....will any of the shows be better than others as far as shorter wait

The experts state that - Last one of day best chance for standby YMMV. Good luck

We saw the 8:30 show last night without a dining package. Walked in at 8:25 and got a seat no problem. I am not sure if that trend will last but there was no reason to line up early. And the dining package line didn't look that long when we walked past for an earlier show.
