Candlelight Processional Dining Booking Question

[Schweino]

Hey all. When we went in 2022, I do recall the booking window for the Processional packages were opened before 6 AM ET. What I can't recall is how earlier it was. Was that a random fluke or do they typically go before 6 AM release?

Thanks!

Just about every year it's 6AM ET. Sometimes you might get 5:59, sometimes 6. With everybody is trying @ the same time, it does get slow and annoying. My regular ADR's for this trip were made in the beginning of October, so this is the last of my trip planning! Good Luck!

I found my confusion. In 2022 it was the Fantasmic Dining packages, and they were released around 5:20 AM ET give or take.

How much fun was that? That was worst that 2 years ago. Did get 12/4 8:15 show. It is just the DW and I, but had to put in 3 people to get it! Putting in 2 people shows nothing but put in more than 2 and things opened up. How was it for everyone else? Going back to bed.

Pretty terrible. Someone posted on a FB group that you actually had to search Candlelight Processional in the Disney app in order to get to the booking page. The 'regular' pathways didn't work at 6 AM EST. We were able to get 3 parties of 4 for 12/7 8:15 showing.

Totally spaced this, my wife reminded me to snag our dining package for Nov 30th and was shocked to see how little was left. Looks like this could be a fluid situation with Disney perhaps later adding tables based on regular reservations for each restaurant?

Wonder how many seats are even allocated for the dining packages to begin with.
Weird that tables of 2 cannot book (?)
