Reservations for Epcot Candlelight Processional Dining Packages begin 10/14

[Disneyhanna]

Depends on the presenter. If you want to see your DD book a package. You could book a dinner one, then be there for regal eagle opening and see if packages are selling that day. If they are buy one and cancel your dinner ADR. Nice thing about these packages is they play by the 2 hour cancellation rule of all other ADRs- at least they have in the past. Check your fine print of course.

This is great advice. And for Regal Eagle, definitely want to walk by about about 90 minutes before opening to see if a line is forming, and for sure an hour before opening at the latest. I forget what time I lined up a few years ago but I think it was an hour early, and a LOT of people came and lined up behind me.

If you have a CP ticket from a dinner package, how early do you line up to get in?
Is there a different line, or everyone in the same line?
Thanks! This is our first time going during the Christmas season. So excited!

Think it depends on the narrator. We've only done it when NPH was the narrator, and showed up about 45 minutes prior to the show and were about at the mid-point of the dining package line. But NPH is wildly popular, so it may not be as bad for other narrators.

Anyone see this open yet?

I don’t see it open.
Checking between mde on phone and Disney website on desktop.
Not sure what it will look like since we’ve not done this one before.

 

[Disneyhanna]

It's 5AM here and a few hours earlier than I am usually up and I am going to be very sad if it doesn't open soon

 

[DianaMB333]

It is not showing yet.. right?

 

[mi*vida*loca]

Same. Woke up at 115 and checked just in case, nothing open so went back to bed.
Got up at 430 and been checking since then.

And me too (be very sad if doesn’t open soon).

I didn’t see it open yet so I came here to make sure I wasn’t missing something!

 

[Tonberry]

Nothing yet. I remember last year it took them like half an hour to show up. And even then, they were loaded one restaurant at a time.

I was able to book right at 6am but the full list of restaurants wasn't available. I wanted Via Napoli and it isn't listed at all.

SO FRUSTRATING. I am conducting research in the field today (literally a field, no wifi, limited cell and I will be doing **** that precludes me from checking the internet all all). So I guess I will be out of luck.

You booked the dining package?

Last year I didn't bother waking up early and they were loaded about the time I woke up, so wouldn't be surprised by this, ugh I should have known!
