If you don't get the dinner package, just take in Candlelight processional from the sidewalk behind the theater. The seats you get after waiting 2 hours in line just aren't great enough to warrant waiting, IMO, although you could get lucky and if you don't mind your party being separated sometimes the CMs stick you in betwixed and between all over the theater. Don't forget that even if you DO get the meal package, you still should line up WELL in advance of the show. We did the package, and came 30 minutes before showtime one year and our seats were about the same as those who'd waited in standby for over 2 hours. So yes, we were guaranteed "a seat", but nothing stellar. Only those who had the package AND waited at least an hour had "good seats." I've since decided that while I love the processional, it's just not worth all the money and time to get decent seats. We've enjoyed it several times just hanging out in front of American Adventure. I know, of course not the same, but still awesome.
