There were dining packages at restaurants like Storytellers Cafe, Hook's Point, Yamabuki, Granville's (now Steakhouse 55), and Napa Rose. I can't remember if the Vineyard Room was a part of it our not. Last year we ate at Storytellers which was one of the cheaper packages and those seem to go the quickest. You had to pay in advance when you purchased your package online. Last year the annual passholders got the first opportunities to purchase them, but the system crashed in the first 5 minutes that the packages went on sale. It was a giant mess!!!
You got your tickets at the end of your meal, and you needed to be in line at Disneyland about 45 minutes in advance of the show time. I know Club 33 and guests of higher ups had the best seating, but I really couldn't tell if you got any better or worse seating depending on what package you bought. A couple of years ago we got the cheapest package, and sat 3 rows back, in the center, and we were 50 feet away from Dick Van **** who was narrating. I think it all depends on when you get in line, and where they decide to put the line. They seat you, you have no choice of locations. You don't have to buy a package to see the program, but it was worth it for us, since I didn't have to worry whether I was going to be able to see the program or not. The only people who get seats are the packages and Club 33 people.
I guess APer's also have first pick,we were going to upgrade in December when we got there but that will be too late for us,tickets go on sale in nov. I've heard. I've also been told there is a website but wasn't given the address
Thanks for all the info everyone
