Today is my 180 day mark, and many of the Epcot restaurants stated no availability online. When I called to inquire as to why, the gentleman told me it is because the Candelight Processional Packages have not been announced yet, and probably wouldn't be until July. Has anyone else experienced this, and is this normal, meaning that I won't be able to book until July?

This is normal for CP packages. They don't get released until July/August.
Are you trying to make regular reservations or CP package reservations? If you are trying to make regular reservations you should be able to find dining choices. We go in early December all the time and always could make all our regular dining even at Epcot at 180 days. CP packages is the only ones you should not be able to make yet.
Another question did you go online first thing this morning? If not what they did have available for regular reservations at Epcot may have filled up fast. CP packages hold a lot of inventory until released so the limited availability may have gone very quick today. :)

Just trying to make regular reservations, lunch ones at that, not even trying to make dinner reservations. The only restaurants showing availability were La Cellier, Marakesh, and Biergarten.

You will just have to keep trying because like I mentioned the ones they did have available go fast and more regular reservations will open up once they release the CP packages. CP packages effect the lunch more than dinner because you have to dine before the CP time you want which usually falls during lunch for a lot of them. So my best advice is keep trying especially after the CP packages are released as they will release more regular dining availability. Booking regular Lunch though will be harder though regardless because of CP. You would have better luck with dinner times which most start after 3:30pm. :)

Same thing happened to me - plus on the website for my dates, nothing comes up at Epcot for either lunch or dinner, except Spice Road, Monsieur Paul, Le Cellier, and Akershus, which are not part of the Processional Package. I posted this on the thread about difficulty making reservations
