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

If Stich eats the page one more time......

 

[caribbeandream]

I wouldn't. What makes you want to change?

If you are sure you'd like something else (same date/time) you can search like you would for a dining ressie. The old ressie will pop up at some point, you can click cancel then. I wouldn't cancel the old one before being sure I found something better.

I love the 6:45pm show. Get in line early and you hear the music from the 5:00 show and then stake out a spot for illuminations in Italy and you hear some of the 8:15 show. My personal favorite show to see.

Sorry for the late reply! I had to jump in the shower and get myself to that thing called work that actually pays for all these Disney vacations.

I ended up canceling and then almost had a heart attack when I could not rebook breakfast at A&C but I just kept refreshing the page (and praying!). It all worked out in the end because I got breakfast at a better time for us AND the 5:00 pm show. The 5:00 pm show just works better for my sister and I. Once the show is over we can go have a nice relaxing dinner instead of rushing through dinner to get in line for the 6:45 show. Plus, this is our first time at CP and not overhearing the earlier show and going in with fresh eyes (and ears) means a lot to us. I hope y'all got the CP Dining Package you wanted this morning!

It was very painful but I finally got our package booked today. I could never get our ressie to go through on the computer and was on hold for over an hour on the phone! We booked 12/5 at 320 late lunch for the 6:45 show with Neil Patrick Harris. This will be our 1st CP. So excited! We are eating at Chefs de France.

How early should you line up for NPH? I was thinking 45 mins. I don't have to have a seat up front

And why are their deals so much better? 14 day tickets for the price of 7, plus free dining AND a $100 gift card?

Because the Brits get more vacation than we do, so they come to Florida for 2 to 3 weeks, and Disney would like them to spend most of that time, if not all of it, on Disney property.

The America Gardens Theater is unexpectedly large and it holds a lot of people. If you're in the package line by the time they start letting the package guests in, you'll probably get a pretty decent seat. If you wait until they start letting the general public in, the odds go down the later it gets.

Nine Dragons is pretty good! I considered it but I don't know if my group will go for Chinese food on Christmas Eve. I couldn't get the first choice though, so who knows if they might agree to it down the line.

Thank you. Here's another logistics question. My understanding is that Holiday International storytellers are around, as well as Santa and Mrs Claus in American and the American Adventure also hosting a singing group. Isn't CP located in that same area? Do all of these go on relatively simultaneously from the same area?? Or am I missing something?

The storytellers are each in their own country and have set, staggering times all day long. Mr and Mrs Claus are in the American pavilion and will have their set times too. When we were there (a few years ago), they were outside, and there was no singing. The Voices of Liberty do a Holiday show INSIDE the American Adventure building. The CP theater is just a cross the walking area from America.

Ok. We were putting together an Epcot TP. Hopping over from MK, arriving around 5, then heading straight to America for the last Santa time and the Voices of Liberty show....between 5:30 and 6 (based on what TP has listed -prob last year's times), and it hit me that first CP show runs during that same time period in that same America area. Thanks for helping me to mentally map that out!

Wow, what a whirlwind 24 hours. A huge thank you to all those who posted website tips for those who were experiencing snags.

At 6am this morning, I used one of those tips myself when faced with a road block. Switched to the main dining page, searched all restaurants and...Voila! Biergarten at 4:10 for our party of 10. 6:45 show.

A little disappointed not to get our #1 choice - GG breakfast - but with a large party, I figured that was a long shot anyway.

Good luck to all those who are still trying to book! Hopefully you find all the help you need on this thread from your fellow Disers . Let the Christmas Magic Begin! CHEERS! -OP.

It's beautiful at the 5pm show time. While it's not totally dark, it's getting dark so the sky is really pretty. We have 1pm lunch with the 5pm CP with NPH. I think it's worth saving the 20.00.

Thank you for sharing your insight. It helps. Our night is also an NPH night - 12/3.

I absolutely agree.

MamaofSix: I am SO SO grateful that you posted about your experience! I have been on hold with WDW dining for 45 minutes and kept getting hung up on the website. I tried it through the main dining page and sure enough, it worked! Coral Reef dinner for my daughter and I with a time slot just 15 minutes earlier than I wanted! Thank you!!!

Hooray! So glad it worked for you

Have they posted the prices yet? Not that I would cancel, but it would be nice to know how much it is going to cost.

I had a dream that the cancellation fee was $1,000 - and kept telling my family - "We HAVE to go to this!" LOL!

 

[MusicalAstronaut]

I got my reservation online. Look for a side door!

When I was going directly to the Candlelight Dining Package page on the website I could search and it would show available times.....but it did nothing when I clicked on an available time.

I got frustrated after doing that a bunch of times, so I then went to the Candlelight Processional page (for the show, not the dining) and from that page I used the link to the Candlelight Processional Dinner Packages. First time I searched from that spot I got what I wanted!

It may have just been coincidence.....but you never know. Good luck!

The person who said to do the right click on the time was right, that worked for me!

Just tried that but the page was eaten

 

[MusicalAstronaut]

Just tried that but the page was eaten

It did that for me when I tried to open multiple tabs at once. If I clicked a time and didn't like the CP time, I had to redo the search or the page would get eaten.

Oh good, thank you! Interesting, some took a big jump and others didn't move at all.
