Hi Toni.
I'm so glad to hear that you're planning to reserve a Candlelight Dining Package. It's such a fabulous experience and the perfect way to incorporate the magic of the holiday season into your Walt Disney World vacation.
Based on previous years, Candlelight Dining Packages usually go on sale towards the end of June. If you wish, you may opt to make a 'dining only' reservation in the meantime for the date you're hoping to visit, however your new reservation will completely replace the old one. You'll need to cancel the old reservation once your Candlelight Dining Package is successfully reserved. The package cannot be 'added' onto an existing reservation.
You may make your reservations online via the Dining page of the Walt Disney World website or by calling (407) WDW-DINE and speaking with a Disney Dining Cast Member. Keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog and Walt Disney World website for all the latest news.
If you have additional questions, please feel free to write me back any time. I'd love to hear from you again Toni.
Wishing you a simply Magical time at Walt Disney World!
Kirsten
