Keep Candlelight Processional reservation?

[soarinfan]

I've booked the processional, and it cost $95 for Marrakesh, which was the only restaurant available. I'm not sure if I should keep this reservation. When we eat at Marrakesh, my husband and I split one main course and one dessert and we leave stuffed. The Candlelight deal includes an appetizer, entree and dessert for each of us, and I don't think we can eat that much. $95 is a lot to spend for a dinner. Plus I need to stay away from gluten, which might be challenging there.

How hard will it be to get in to see a Candlelight Processional without reservations? I have a scooter/ECV, so we often catch a concert even after it's started by sitting in the back in the wheelchair area. Will it be difficult for this? I've never seen this show before.

We have been able to watch the processional from inside the theater without a reservation multiple times. Last year, I booked a reservation because I thought it would be more crowded ... and regretted it. We didn't really enjoy the restaurant (China), Disney changed the scripture reader at the last minute, and we could have had a seat without the package anyway.
That said, I'm sure there are nights where a reservation is needed ... and things may be different in the wheelchair area.

Hard to say...

It might depend on how many other special needs people attend.

I personally wouldn't do the dining package for a place I wouldn't care to eat (or that would cost more than I care to spend).

If there are multiple shows that night, you may want to try to attend the earliest one, as it might not be as busy as the later ones when people try to do both the CP and Illuminations.

I think it depends on when you are going and who the guest speaker is that evening. We have done both with dining and without dining. I would do without dining if you are not happy with your dining choice and go to the first show.

When are you going? If it's next week, you probably would not have a problem with standby. If it's Christmas week, it would be tough.

Hi Debbie, we're going Dec 6 for 6 nights. It's looks like you all think we should be able to get in without the package. Do you think that those dates should be okay?

I would try Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.
