Self explanatory. Is the package worth 2 credits? I'm considering moving around some ADRs, but I'm not sure if it's worth an extra dining credit to sit down for it. Do they sing all of the traditional Christmas songs? When I walked by in 2010 and listened for a few minutes, they all seemed to be religious songs. Thanks!

I would say no. If I was going to do CP I would just pay cash for the dining package.

The songs tend to be religious in nature. You are not going to hear Jingle Bells, Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer, or Santa Claus is coming to town. This is a sample song list for the processional.

Since Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Christ, yes, the songs are religous, interspersed with reading from the Bible.

Not trying to get into technicalities, but Christmas isn't about the birth of Christ for everyone. It was originally a pagan holiday.

Thanks for this! I don't mind the religious songs, I was just wondering what to expect. I agree that it might be easier to pay for it.

The CP is what I would consider a Christian centered Christmas show. Santa, spirit of Christmas, Christmas trees, etc never enter into the equation.

I am paying cash for lunch at Biergarten for the CP package. I want to see the CP, but I don't want to wait in an overly long line. The Biergarten lunch CP Package is only $35 a person.

Hmmm... We might end up doing this. How long is the show? Could we make the 5pm show and a 6:55pm dinner reservation at Coral Reef?

It is worth it to do it, but definitely OOP. We might do it again in the future; hasn't been in our plans the last few trips. Nice, relaxing entertainment.
