Good morning, Gang! So, how did we do? Looks like they were slow to add restaurants, but we were lucky to obtain Garden Grill for lunch on 12/5 @ 12:05, for the 8:15 show. So how did everyone else do?

Trying to get Garden Grill but after almost 40 mins past 6 my dates aren’t even loaded into MDE to book for Candlelight.
I can't see any availability online (Google Chrome or Safari) or on the app.

I can’t find where to go at all. There is no option to book candlelight dining anywhere on the website or app for me. Help! I’ve been trying since 6

It’s not at all clear how to reserve the Candlelight Processional Dining Packages. If I click the restaurant’s link on the candlelight-dinner-packages page, it just takes me to that restaurant’s normal web page. I can make a dining reservation there, but it’s just a regular reservation.

Same here! I have no clue what to do. Have you figured anything out?

I got to it by searching Candlelight Processional in the search box on the home screen, selected the first result that ironically doesn't say "CP" but Festival of the Holidays with dining below it, and there is check availability button that lets you select date AND the showtime you're looking for. I was able to score a package for Neil Patrik Harris date!

After an hour and a half the "check availability" button showed up and I was able to book Chefs de France for 4:00pm for the 6:45pm show! I did this on the website. Go to the candlelight dining package webpage and a big blue "check availability" button should be there!

I was having this same problem. The website was really confusing. There should be a blue button on the candlelight dining packages page saying 'Check availability'. From there, you should be able to pick a date, restaurant, candlelight show time, and dining reservation time. They'll hold your reservation for 10 minutes while you finalize the order!
I went into the dining reservations page and put in the usual, number of people, day and all day. Clicked on it and looked for the Epcot festival of the Holidays. It took me to the page that asked for what show, after that it showed restaurants. Did it around 5AM here in New Orleans. Not all the restaurants showed up, but Garden Grill had times. After I secured it, went back to see about that Friday, and that's when I saw that the site went wonky!!!

Yep, finally got to the right place and booked my package. I see that now there's a big blue Check Availability button on the dining packages page.

It wasn't until 7:10 or so before availability showed up for 12/14. I was able to book Via Napoli at 12:40 pm for the 5 pm show. Even though there will only be 2 of us, I had to search for 3 to get any Via Napoli availability to show up. I'll call Disney Dining eventually to have them adjust the reservation down to 2 people (just as I've done for the last couple of years).
