Candlelight Processional

[Terk-1]

I will try not to smile TOO large at you on Sunday morning as we are on our way to Chef Mickey for our welcome breakfast, while you are on your way to the airport.

As my flight is not until after 3pm, am going to head to the Magic Kingdom early for a final breakfast at the Crystal Palace , take it a little more of the Magic before having to head to the airport.

Ok I am officially jealous!!! Maybe we will be on the same bus!!!! we will be going to contemporary. Imagine, never met. have spoken on the internet about CP, and then BOOM we are on the same bus going to the same area on the same morning. we are aiming for a 815 ADR so yea totally possible that we will be on the same bus to the MK. LOL

and the reason for jealousy??? ON the day we leave our plane leaves at 240pm but i hear magical express picks you up to have you at the airport 3 hours before departure (which is good, as our airline opens 3 hours prior to departure and closes just over 1 hour prior!) so they would want us there for 1140 so i assume we will be picked up by 1050/11am at the latest. add in time to pack for 2 kids coordinate 7 people all together, check out it will be just too rushed to do a fancy last morning breakfast. :O(
however. if the day before, we can get everything packed up and put away, maybe we will call disney dining to try to get SOMETHING (maybe Park Fare) early enough to go and come back. maybe.

I have all of the Foxtrot books, yes all of them. My fav. Quincy is when he and Jason are watching "Croc Hunter" and Quincy is rooting for the Crocs .

I did not get CRT. I want to suprise the family with a before the park opens meal. CRT is booked on the day we can go. I will try to get it later.

Had am email from our TA today:

"I just checked with Disney and they typically come out with those
around August but since the Christmas Party tickets are out already
they may come out sooner this year."

Well, our info is on file with her, so hopefully things will work out. We are a "party of 2" as well.

Thanks to everyone who continues to update!!! We too are a party of 2 looking to go on 11/28 for my bday with a late ADR to Le Cellier. Next Wednesday I can make the rest of our ADR's so I guess I will just make a normal one if they are not out by then and try to make a package ADR and cancel my existing when the time comes....

I'm gonna do the same thing. Same day and Same restaurant but I'm gonna try for the 6:45 show. DS will be celebrating his bday this trip. Happy Birthday!!

I can't believe I missed this post!!! After reading about the Candlelight Processional I've decided to switch some ADRs and try to get a package for 11/24...our last day at Disney.

Just got off the phone with dining, the CP package is NOT available until mid-end August.

I also tried to get ADRs for 11/24 at Le Cellier, the only thing I could get for a party of 5 was 8:30pm!!! YIKES! So I took the time, and hopefully something better will open up. I hope I made the right choice by switching my dates.

So then here is a question... if there are no ADRs available for that night HOW does one then book the package? Can you just add the "package" to an existing ADR?

You cannot add the CP to an excisting ADR They hold tables open for the Packages at every Place

The Epcot traditions of Holidays Around the World and the Candlelight Processional will continue this year, running from November 24 through December 30. ------http://allearsnet.com/tp/h_cpfaq.htm
Their website has info about the CP package, the dates say 2005, but yesterday none of that info was listed and it previously said 2006 info will be listed once released. I don't know if it is a typo, so I'm not trying to get anyone excited unnecessarily, but it was something new I saw and wanted to pass it along.
BTW: today is the first time it shows anything about no package for the one show on 12.4, I know it says 2005, but that is why I am thinking typo?? Because it didn't say that up until today, so if it was 2005 info, why was it not listed before??? Just my thoughts. I don't know if anyone else has been watching that site also.

hmm...I didn't see any changes, but maybe I'm not looking in the right spot.

I'm not happy if they book at 180 days because I would bet it's going to be very difficult to obtain a reservation for between Christmas and New Year's with the new 180+10 rule. Even getting a regular reservation for Christmas could be tough. With the limited places for the CP, in 10 days, they might be gone. Really not a good plan if Disney does it this way this year.

Well guys, for what it's worth, after reading the previous post this morning, I decided to give it a try and call WDW to try to get the CP. This is what I was told, but keep in mind that this is now my 7th call and I have basically been told something different all seven times. Plus, the CM who answered had never heard of the CP. I told her what it was and she had to put me on hold to talk to someone else. Anyway, this is what she said:

She said that the packages could not be sold yet, but for me to call back daily because the information was being loading into their computers. She said that the 180 point for ADR on the day of the first scheduled CP is quickly approaching and all the packages would be release before that date.

Has anyone else called this morning?

 

[gokenin]

I have not called but cant imagine that disney will not have them out at the 180 mark since everything else can be made that early. Will keep an eye on the pages to see when they go out thanks for all the help people

 

[EEyorelover22]

I have not heard back after I sent my email on Sunday. I'm sure they get 1000's per day, but I'm hoping it will get someone's attention as to the issues that this will cause if they aren't all released at once and BEFORE the first 180 day mark. Some have already been able to book at those places if they are coming before Thanksgiving.

I don't think Disney thought this one through very well.

This is such GREAT news for me. We are going to be at WDW from 11/18 - 11/25 and I was trying to figure out how I was going to do Candle Light Processional AND Osbourne Lights on 11/24.

Happy Birthday to all!!!!!!!!!!
My DH is laughing at my obsession with this but I REALLY want to see CP and that is the night the IL's are taking DS3.5 with them so we can have a nice dinner and see the show (DS would never sit through it!!). I know I still have the option of standing in the regular line to try to get a seat but I am hoping getting a package will cut down on the wait time.
Keeping my fingers crossed for all of us that we get what we want!!!!!!
