Hi, Chris! I am calling everyday into the Walt Disney World dining line to check on the availability of the Candlelight Processional Dinner Packages. As of this morning, I am still being told to keep checking back.
The only thing I can tell you is that if you have a particular restaurant that you must eat in when you are at EPCOT, regardless of whether or not you are going to the Candlelight Processional, go ahead and book your dining reservation. The reservation is not "convertible" to a dinner package, but if you know you don't want to lose an opportunity to eat at your favorite EPCOT restaurant, I would tell you to book your dining reservation. When the packages are available, you can call in, book your package, then cancel your dining reservation. I know for some people, the Candlelight dinner package is a bonus, as they would not want to miss dinner at their favorite location!
Keep checking back here with us, and keep an eye at
www.disneyworld.com . As soon as the packages become available, the information should be available at the website, and I'm sure we'll be talking about it here as well!
I can't wait! I hope you are just as excited!
