When you buy the CP pkg are your guaranteed entry?

Are you guaranteed entry into the CP if you buy the dinner pkg? When do they start letting people who bought the pkg into the theater? When do they start letting the people who didn't buy the package into the theater? I am worried, we have reservations at 4:20 for LeCellier and then are supposed to do the 6:45 CP show.

The people who have purchased the package are lined up on one side of the seating area. People without the package are lined up on the other side. It seems like they let us in to sit about 30 minutes prior to the show. Once the line for the package people had finished seating, they opened up the other line for seating. If you get there late, I don't know that you will get seating. That is why I always make my dinner reservation for after the show.

You should be guaranteed a seat as long as you arrive by showtime. They usually hold the reserved seats until the last minute. The standbys have to sit in the back, behind the rope for the reserved section. You have over 2 hours for dinner, you should be OK.
