With the announcement of the podcast recording time, I'm wondering if I'm the only one pulling her hair out trying to get a later Candlelight Processional package for Saturday

What time did you get? Mine is at 12:30 for the 5 pm showing. I'm going to head over a little early.

1:35 -- basically exactly when I'd need to be at the Boardwalk. I'm bummed!

Did you try bumping it back?

Did you try bumping it back?

I'm trying now. Restaurant Marrakesh, Biergarten, and Tokyo Dining all have openings right now.. no big surprise. Any opinions about the first two (not into Japanese food at all)?

I couldn't get anything at all. Keeping my 3:30 for now

 

[ShesAPirate]

Just cancelled Rose & Crown at 1:35, and booked Tokyo Dining at 12:30. Stepping outside of my comfort zone, but I'm totally OK with it... and excited to try a different restaurant in Epcot

I still saw 12:30 - 12:45 availability at Biergarten and Restaurant Marrakesh, if anyone else is trying to change.

We've been waiting to book for the Podcast announcement. I was hoping the podcast would be on Sunday so we could go. I think we're just going to skip Candelight this time, unfortunately. I hope you find something that works for you!

I had that thought for a split second, but I've never seen Candlelight Processional before, and I think my mom (who is coming with me this trip) will absolutely love it. Glad I got an earlier time and don't have to miss the podcast!

Thanks got 12:45 Biergarten

your mom will love candlelight processional. It is amazing and totally worth it. Plus you get a reserved section for illuminations!!!

 

[bradisgoofy]

Am I reading this correctly that you must be registered for DISApalooza to attend the podcast tapping?

I didn't sign up because I will be on the Fantasy until Saturday morning but will be back at BWV by noon Saturday the 8th.

I have already attended a podcast when they did the one and only Welcome Center podcast. I would love to see everyone again in person.

I absolutely love Whoopi Goldberg, so when I saw she was doing CP, I booked ASAP as I was worried of the package selling out. We need to be at the Boardwalk 30 minutes prior to the taping starting; my plan is to get to Rose & Crown at 12, bat my eyelashes, and hope they take me in a little early to give extra time.

It's amazing and one of my favorite things to do for Christmas. You will love it!

WooHoo. Saturday. I leave Sunday noon, so I'll get to see the podcast.

 

[rlduvall]

This works perfect for me. I have a Candlelight Dinner Package at 5:25 at Coral Reef to see Whoopi Goldberg at the last show. I was hoping I wouldn't have to cancel that.

I agree that it did read that way, but email John. I bet he won't mind working with you.

We had to jump through some hoops to get the venue - it was very tight this year - and I had to guarantee them a maximum number of attendees.

I did guess at this number based on the number of people signed up for the party and an aggressive attrition rate between the event the night before and the taping the next day.

We will be giving priority to folks with credentials - if there is available seating after that then you will be able to attend.

Sorry I don't have a better answer for you but getting a venue for the podcast was extremely challenging this year due to all of the other conventions and groups in town.

Okay, let me ask a dumb question:

What IS Disapalooza??
