which CP is least crowded? 5pm, 6:45pm, or 8:15 p.m?

i already cannot remember which one we attended 2 years ago.
so i need some help from those of you who might remember trends from past CPs.

of the 3 CP times, which one tends to be the most crowded?
5pm, 6:45pm, or 8:15 p.m?

or are they about the same?

also, do you have to arrive earlier to get in line depending on which show you're attending?

suggestions as to what the absolute latest you can show up to wait in line and still get a decent seat?

btw, we were thinking about attending 11/29, 11/30, or 12/1. i hope that weekend is not crazy crowded!

I think 5:00pm is the least crowded. A couple of times we have walked in at the last minute and got seats. Other times we got in line 30 min before and the cm at the end of the line said we wouldn't make it (so we sat at the tables in front of the American Pavillion). I think 12/1 would be your best night, the weekend will probably be crowded, especially Saturday.

We haven't been yet but I'll give this advise. I would say that he early show during the week would be the least crowded. Less local folks would probably be attending those shows just because it is so close to typical end of work days. I'd be willing to be that the 6:45 show would be busiest and a slight drop in attendance for the late show...got to get up to go to work and school in the morning.

That's just a guess. I would also guess that your best bet would be on 12/1. Thanksgiving weekend is going to be busy.

Candlelight Processional at Epcot. It's a show for the Christmas season.
