You are asked to line at the American Gardens Theater at least 15 minutes prior to show time. You line up on the Japan side of the American Gardens Theater. (General Admission is on the Italy side.) If you want a prime seat, you will need to line up at least 30 minutes or more prior to your show. (People will actually start lining up 1 hour prior to the show.)

You will be admitted before the General Admission guests and will have access to the best seats. At 15 minutes prior to the show, the General Admission guests are allowed in to fill the remaining seats.

Package prices do not include park admission.

NOTICE - Prices do not include gratuities.

For some reason Disney decided to separate gratuities from their special meal prices (they used to be included). You will receive a bill at the end of the meal that shows what a meal would cost so you know how much to tip.

Also certain entrees (lobster) might be excluded from the package.

The Candlelight Processional Dinner package counts as 2 full service credit on the Magic Your Way Dining Package.

How to book

To book a Candlelight Processional Dinner Package call Disney Dining (407) WDW-DINE. Unlike a normal reservation, you can't just call up Disney 180 days prior to your trip and make a reservation. Disney doesn't take dinner package reservations for the Candlelight Processional until sometime in August (usually mid-August). Disney will make an announcement around the first of August of the date when reservations will be accepted. On that day, you need to get right on the phone and make your reservation.

You could let someone else do all the work for you. Dad's friends over at Pixie and Pirate Destinations are just waiting to help you plan a magical vacation at any time. The Disney Vacation Planners will work fevorishly to make your dining reservations including any special requests you might have.
