Holiday D'Lights Tour Email Show Question

[tlcoke]

Follow up information to the question on the email show regarding the Holiday D'Lights Tour.

I have also been looking into booking this tour, here is what I was told by the Cast Member on the Tour Booking Line:

Since this tour includes the Candlelight Processional, do not expect it to be available for booking until the Candlelight Schedule & Dinner Packages are released for booking.
Which according to Kevin, that should be toward the end of July. I am planning on calling back when the Candlelight Schedule is released and see if I can book it then.


The other Holiday Tour - Yuletide Fantasy is open for bookings now - it opened at the 180 day booking window.

I haven't done either tour yet. But If, I could only do one or the other, I would choose Yuletide Fantasy.

I did the Yuletide Fantasy tour back in 2008 and it was really really nice. We learned alot about some of the decorations and each park /resort has their own budget and work on coming up with their own designs - & how early they start planning..

Overall I give this tour
