Reservations for Epcot Candlelight Processional Dining Packages begin 10/14

[CJK]

Has anyone been able to grab a table for 2 for any restaurant since reservations were initially released? I completely forgot about this reservation until a couple hours after the release. I have alerts set and continue to stalk the website, and I haven't seen anything for 2 people. I have a reservation for 3, but don't want to be charged for the extra person. I'm just wondering if anyone has been successful booking for 2 people over the last couple days. I need hope! lol

I can tell you there are multiple reservations available each night from December 16 through 20 for 2 people for each show. I wish you all the luck in getting what you would like!

My trip is 12/1-10. Reservations for the first two weeks in December have been particularly brutal. I was up and trying at 6 am on the 14th. Nothing for 1 at all anywhere, any day of my trip. I booked a table for 3 but I know from previous years it can be problematic to show up with less. I set alerts for 1 and have received none.

Yesterday I found 3 different reservations for 1 open on various days… none for the narrator I wanted on my preferred day but decided to take the one that seemed the best for me… Le Cellier lunch on 10/6 with the 5:00 performance.

Maybe an alert will come through, though none so far… but I’ll keep stalking. I think looking for 2 will be similar to 1 so keep trying! Hang in and don’t give up!

Do you see anything for four people for the 20th? I'm still a few days away from booking so it may not matter, but I'm curious how bleak it looks!

Just a heads up for people that cannot get your exact party numbers for a Candlelight dinner reservation and had to add an extra person onto your reservation. I wanted a 5 person Dec 11 Biergarten reservation but I had to take one for 6 people. I contacted DVC member services and they were able to change it to 5 people . I also came with a new reservation number. Hope that this helps

Interesting.

Never occurred to me to contact MS to help modify dining ADR.

Did you message/chat or call?

My window opens tomorrow... now to decide if my strategy of Topolino Breakfast at my +3 day should be what I book first or Candlelight package at +6 day... my gut says stick with Topolino as my first attempt.

At least 10 restaurants per show have availability on the 20th for 4 people right now. Be on the app right at 6. I've said this before, but this thread is long. I go to reserve dining, filter to Epcot and click on the packages.

Thanks -- I have the link bookmarked that goes straight to the packages. I'm not sure if you were the person who I copied that link from, but it seem likely. I think it is the best strategy. We are only there for 3 nights so we will be doing trying for a 60+1 and a 60+2 (20th Saturday or 21st Sunday). As long as we can get something we'll be happy, but was hoping to be able to get Rose & Crown or Nine Dragons! We'll see. Thanks again or checking!

Thanks for posting! I’m not DVC, but I tried again with chat, citing that DVC services had a way to modify reservations down. My chat agent apologized, but said there was nothing they could do. She said to just keep checking. I’ve gotten zero alerts for any restaurant for tables for 2. My decision may be to cancel, or risk being charged for a third person.

I was able to book one at 2:30am this morning for Dec. 10th for one person. I recommend searching at odd times of day. Best of luck in your hunt!

Like @keishashadow, I’d like to know - did you chat or call DVC MS?

I emailed Member Services expressing my concern about why 2 people and 5 people reservations were not available. They answered me back in an hour and advised me to phone MS this morning which I did. The agent had it done in a matter of a couple minutes
