***Official Candlelight Processional Dining Package Watch - 2018***

DVC is also booking early. We are looking for Ale and Compass as we are staying at beach club villas.

Out of curiosity, where is that listed. I didn't receive an email from DVC and my quick search of the site didn't return any results.

This thread got me to sign up for Disboards finally. I've been watching it for weeks. Just wanted to give a quick thank you to everyone for keeping on top of it!

Right now I'm between Whoopi or 'TBD' and I'm leaning toward the TBD. I'd truthfully be fine with anyone, but there's something exciting about booking a surprise speaker. Looking to do the Bon Voyage breakfast.. which I imagine will be one of the harder ones to get by a landslide. Can't book until tomorrow regardless (no AP). Fingers crossed!

Me too. I plan to book two CP packages to be safe, until “TBD” gets a name. I’ve never seen Whoopi, but she is a very popular narrator so I’m happy with her. But last year I had to book TBD due to my dates, and it turned out to be KURT RUSSELL who was absolutely wonderful! So just in case (fingers and toes crossed), I want to have it covered. Who knows, maybe we will want to go twice if it someone that good!

My DH is the AP holder so I told him he has to call. He's tried once and I just told him to wait until I see something on this thread. He just texted and told me he's going to call again anyway! He doesn't follow the dis, can't you tell!!

I am new here, but this thread has been so helpful, I wanted to share:
I finally got through to AP line at 10:20 and made my reservation for 12/3 (got NPH! Yay!). CM said many restaurants were still loading into the system.
She said she modified my existing reservation for Chefs to the package.
She also said there needed to be a 2 hour window between when you check in for the reservation and when you see the show, and you can't eat after the show, which I didn't know. So, since we wanted dinner, we got the 8:15 show. Illuminations isn't set until 10:00ish that night she said.
Thanks for all help and anticipation building.

I was talking to them twice yesterday and asked. I assumed since APs could book maybe DVC. I was told by both people today was the day. Not advertised at all. Call member services.

DVC was posted on Facebook yesterday.

Been on hold with DVC for almost 90 minutes. Waited as things were uploaded. Just got what I was waiting for! 12/24 8:15pm show!

Congrats!

Just tried calling - current wait time on hold is over 25 minutes...I don't think the battery on my phone will last that long!

 

[MakiraMarlena]

ok went on with the dining line. Wait time more than 20 minutes. trapped at my desk anyway today.

I'd like lunch 2-3 pm and the 6:45 show.

[Debby7]

20 minutes wait for DVC just now. Holding.

 

[EllieBride]

While I wait on hold... has anyone heard that maybe Garden Grill breakfast WILL be included after all? It's not listed on the website, but I'm seeing reports on FB that people have heard conflicting reports from CMs. Shocker! LOL...

Figures, everything seems to finally be working and I have a phone conference that starts in 12 minutes. Somehow I don't think I'll get through before then...

Has anyone seen an online capability which they told us would also be available?

I was told by a cm this morning that GG breakfast IS included, but as everyone is saying, I'll believe it when I see someone has actually booked it.

As expected, nothing online.
