Candlelight Processional - Reserved Seats

Hello All - getting ready for a 1st time viewing of the candlelight processional with a dining package reservation. I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how the process works with the reserved seating and any places to head for the best viewing. Thanks!

The reserved seating is the front of the theater. You and about two hundred other people have that space to yourselves.

Once you attend your packaged dining experience, you'll get a slip of paper with the time of your performance and when to show up.

The reserved seating people line up on the left of theater (as viewed from the back row of the theater facing the stage). Stand-bys hoping for a seat line up on the right.

Within the section reserved for you, it's first come, first serve. So, you still want to get there about twenty minutes a head of time for a close seat.

When they let you in, the crowd naturally walks down the first aisle to the stage and grabbing seats there. But you, you run across to the right side of the theater and head down the empty aisle to get up front. That also puts you in front of the Sign Language interpreter, which is always fascinating to watch.

Also, remember: You are a member of Western Civilization. When they start to play Handel's Hallelujah Chorus, you immediately stand and join in with your part (Bass, Tenor, Alto, Soprano). Not doing so is like refusing to participate in The Wave at sporting events.
