Just to clarify, you do NOT need to buy tickets to Candlelight to see the show. If your son and his new wife want to take the free route, they can wait in the stand by line to get seats. if you are on stand by for a show, you would usually wait as much as a couple hours to get a "decent" seat although it would definitely be in the back half of the theater. The line can be pretty ihtense depending on what time of the season he attends. The 26th and on seems to be a little bit less hectic for the show and conversely, the days leading up to Christmas are insane busy. The front half is reserved for those that purchased the Candlelight Dining Package where you would pay for dinner or early lunch (depending on your show time) and it would include preferred seating at Candlelight. Just sayin' ;D
