Thank you, J3nn78, for posting that the online reservation started working. I didn't even try online after 658am because I just didn't believe that they would be ready.
Boy, was I wrong big time. GREAT JOB Walt Disney World.
At first, I tried calling instead of going online and got these recordings. Redialing since 659am EST and still redialing. Disney recording says, "Sorry ALL lines are busy now. Will you please try again later."
Well...yes...redial...redial..............redial! Pause...pause........AT&T operator recording says, "ALL Circuits are busy now.....will you please try your call later."
Then I saw this post...

Isn't the DIS great. Great folks helping each other out.
Here is what I did if you haven't gone online to make an Epcot Candlelight Processional Package before.
Go to the Disney's Walt Disney World website here:
http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/
Look along the top row of the page above the Disney Search window. Click on the link that says, "WHERE TO EAT". Then scroll down this page until you see the link that says, "DINING EVENTS" and click on that link. And you will see the page of Walt Disney World Restaurants and Special Dining Events.
http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/din...t&fv_222813=on
Then scroll down until you see the information called, "Holidays Around The World - Candlelight Dining Packages". In the bottom left corner, you should see a button to click saying, "BOOK A RESERVATION".
You will see the the link below and this page information
http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/res...light-dinners/
Holidays Around The World - Candlelight Dining Packages
Part of Holidays Around The World, the Candlelight Dining Package combines lunch or dinner at select restaurants at Epcot with guaranteed seating for the Candlelight Processional and VIP viewing of IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth.
Enjoy this dining experience at one of these 14 restaurants: Biergarten Restaurant, Rose & Crown Pub & Dining Room, San Angel Inn, Restaurant Marrakesh, Tokyo Dining, Les Chefs de France, Nine Dragons Restaurant, Teppan Edo, Coral Reef Restaurant, The Garden Grill Restaurant, Tutto Italia, Le Cellier Steakhouse, La Hacienda de San Angel, and Via Napoli.
Location: Varies by Restaurant
Price: Varies by Restaurant (MY NOTE: NO PRICES YET)
Cuisine: Varies by Restaurant
Hours: Varies by Restaurant
Dine Plan: Varies by Restaurant
The MAIN thing to remember, you can look at the restaurant links, but go back to the bottom of this page to book your Epcot Candlelight Processional Packages. If you clicked on one of the restaurant links, you will only book a regular dining reservation.
So at the bottom of the page, "Make a Reservation:Select an Event Holidays Around The World - Candlelight Dining Packages".
I leave the preference blank so that I can see which restaurants are available.
The main thing that you will notice and you will know that you are on the right page is that after you chose a date, you will see that the time you chose only gives you three choices. These are the CLP show times of 5pm, 648pm and 815pm. Chose which show that you want. And don't forget to pick the number of guests. It shows 2 people. I chose 2 person since I am solo.
Now just click, "SEARCH FOR A TABLE".
Now you will see a screen for all of the available restaurants and times. At the bottom you will see those restaurants that are not available for that particular show time. If you don't see what you like go back and chose another one of three show time choices or even another day.
If you do see a restaurnant, choose the time and click the button, "RESERVE". Put in your information, address, credit card information, etc.. Wait for a new page to pop up with your reservation number, date, time, restaurant.
You're done.
I usually get an email confirmation, too, that I save.
I don't seem to see a place where the specific cost is located. I think that they just put your credit card on file.
Price: Varies by Restaurant
NO PRICE NOTED YET.
But the main page showed price ranges,
Lunch Packages range from $32.99–$55.99 for Guests 10+, and
$12.50–$17.99 for Guests 3–9
Dinner Packages range from $49.99–$66.99 for Guests 10+, and
$14.50–$26.99 for Guests 3–9
*****BELOW INFORMATION FROM ORIGINAL INFORMATION POSTED IN THIS THREAD:
Disney's Blog Update says, June 26, 2012, Candlelight Processional Package sales open.
Even thought this particular Disney Blog came out or posted on June 14th, 2012 by
Jennifer Fickley-Baker[/URL]. The update at the top of the blog seems to appeared this morning.
Here is the update quote:
UPDATE: Holidays Around the World Candlelight Dining packages will go on sale on
Disneyworld.com[/URL] on June 26.
And below is the link to the Disney Blog about the Epcot Candlelight Processional Package.

Here is the rest of the blog without the photo below.
If you’ve ever visited
Walt Disney World Resort[/URL] during the holidays, you can only imagine the planning that goes into creating the spectacular holiday offerings for each of our four parks. Our cast members are already hard at work planning every detail our guests will enjoy this holiday season – including lining up some wonderful celebrity talent for this year’s
Candlelight Processional[/URL] at
Epcot[/URL].
If you’re not familiar, the Candlelight Processional is a beloved holiday offering at Epcot that combines seasonal music with a reading of scripture by a celebrity narrator. It will be performed nightly November 23 – December 30, at 5, 6:45 and 8:15 p.m.
I was just given permission to share a sneak peek at the list of celebrities who have already been confirmed to appear in this year’s show. This is only a partial list, so not all dates will be listed. I’ll update the list as additional narrators are confirmed. I’m happy to report that Neil Patrick Harris, a crowd favorite, is back. So is Gary Sinise, who’s a sort of honorary “cast member” for his appearance in the
Mission: SPACE[/URL] pre-show. And of course, new for this year is actress/singer Olivia Newton John.
- Nov. 23–25: Isabella Rossellini (film/TV star and wildlife conversationalist)
Nov. 26–29: Neil Patrick Harris (Emmy Award-winner, Broadway star and TV host)
Nov. 30–Dec. 1: Whoopi Goldberg (television host, actress and comedian)
Dec. 11–13: Jodi Benson (singer and actress)
Dec. 14–16: Olivia Newton John (singer and actress)
Dec. 20–22: Trace Adkins (Award-Winning Country music artist)
Dec. 23–25: Gary Sinise (actor and musician)
Dec. 29–30: Marlee Matlin (Academy Award-winning actor and TV star)
*As always, narrators are subject to change.
Stay tuned to the
Disney Parks Blog[/URL] for more narrator announcements.
**********AFTER GETTING MY RESERVATIONS, I STARTED GETTING THIS INFORMATION FROM EVERYONE.
1. Since the CLP package booking started earlier than last year, on June 26th, the 180 Day requirement seems to apply this year.
2. Le Cellier Steakhouse only has Lunch choices again with no Dinner and only the 5pm show so far.
3. Some guests did not use the correct online link and didn't notice choices for 3 time slots for the three shows and signed up for regular dining reservations instead.
4. You cannot exchange a regular dining reservation for a CLP package dining event reservation.
5. No cost or price listed for CLP package when booking and credit card to be put on file and not charged, yet. A price range is posted instead,
Lunch Packages range from $32.99–$55.99 for Guests 10+, and
$12.50–$17.99 for Guests 3–9
Dinner Packages range from $49.99–$66.99 for Guests 10+, and
$14.50–$26.99 for Guests 3–9
6. DIS Moderator says guests can use Dining Plan to pay for CLP Package, but no information on website as of June 26th.
Here are the Epcot Candlelight Processional Package dates, times and restaurants that you have posted on this thread so far.
I'll try to update the posts.
