<font color=navy>The Candlelight Processional is held the 2nd weekend in December. If you'd like, you can read about our experience, w/pictures, going to it last year.
Our Weekend @ the DLR 12/8-9/2001
BobBrazeal & I were @ DL the first weekend in November of 2001, and the resort was already decorated for Christmas. However, w/the weather in the high 80's, I couldn't get into the snow coming down after the fireworks. The HM and IASW were already decorated & ready to go, and the huge tree was already up @ Town Square. The other tourists, though, had a wonderful time, and were oohing and aahing the snow as it came down.
For the Candlelight Processional, I was in line @ 5:30 in the morning on Saturday, and there was already a crowd there - the first person had got there @ 3am. This event is mainly for the performers & VIPs, and
if there are tickets left over they are handed out to the guests who are in line. They didn't start handing out the tickets until 8am, and by 8:20 they were all out of them. Each person was allowed to get four tickets... that is, each person standing in line... so, if there was a family of four, techically, they could get 16 tickets, even the kids counted for this, so you can't really gauge if there'll be tickets by the time you get up to the window.
If DL does the same thing this year, the CP will be held the weekend of 12/14-15.
