Hi Jamie!
I am sure you are excited about your Walt Disney World
Ultimate Christmas Package. Disney has packed so many great things into four days for the guests who wish to have some extra magic this year at the Disney Parks.
I understand your dilemma wanting to make sure you can enjoy everything you have planned for Christmas Eve. I recommend that whatever you do, do NOT miss the
Candlelight Processional. It will truly be the most moving experience of the vacation. Because you have a package for the 6:45 show you are likely dining at a participating restaurant much earlier in the day. The only way to receive your “tickets” is to actually dine at the reserved location.
When you have the Candlelight dining package you will need to be in line and ready to move into the seating area no later then 15 minutes before showtime. After that is when they let all of the standby guests in to fill the empty seats. You must be there by 6:30pm. It will be very crowded on Christmas Eve and walking from the World Showplace will take about 8 minutes so plan accordingly for that as well.
I am unsure when they will be serving your special dinner. Whatever time it begins you will want to be there early and hopefully you can enjoy both experiences without a lot of stress and rushing.
