Hi, Kim! I'm starting to sound like a broken record around here with my Candlelight Processional answers, but I am so anxious for the packages to go on sale! I've been calling every day, and am on a first name basis with just about everyone at Walt Disney World dining, I call so often!
As of this morning, they still do not have any information regarding a release date for the Candlelight dinner packages. The only thing they can tell me is to keep calling back in, or check the website at
www.disneyworld.com to stay on top of when the packages become available.
In the mean time, if there is a restaurant at EPCOT that you want to have lunch or dinner in anyway, you can still make a dining reservation. The reservation itself cannot be rolled over into a Candlelight Processional Dining Package, as that is a totally separate reservation; but at least you know that you have a reservation booked for when you want to eat.
Keep checking back, Kim! I'll be calling in every day until I get that package!
