Reservations for Candlelight Processional Dining packages start Oct 26

[cslafferty]

Does anyone know for sure what time in the morning? I’ve heard both 6am and 7 am EST. With only 4 restaurants participating I think they’ll go fast so I want to be ready. Also, it says they’re offering both lunch and dinner packages, but only one price point??? In years past lunch was usually less expensive, so we’d do lunch at Biergarten and take in the early show.

6am Eastern online, 7am Eastern for phone booking.

That said, if you can be ready by 5:45, sometimes they load early.

I’ve been trying since 5:45am and it’s now 7:12am and it’s still saying dining packages are unavailable

Me as well, no luck. Occasionally getting the “no available times” message of doom

Same here! The phone lines are busy as well.

 

[Touchdown]

It’s all gone it appears already

Just clicking around at random days, it seems exactly that.

I happened to snag Garden Grill @ 8:20pm on 11/30. Isn't the last show @9:00 pm?

 

[cslafferty]

Do you think you they’re limiting seating due to Covid - social distancing? That would explain why only 4 restaurant choices and all reservations gone already??

 

[cslafferty]

It also still says on the CP dining packages main page “Dining plans are temporarily unavailable”

Are you on the regular dining reservation page or the CP dining package page? Because on the dining package page the only times you can choose are 6pm and earlier.

Showtimes are 5:15, 7:00 and 8:30. If you booked a CP dining package, the ADR will include the showtime in the description.

I’m getting really tired of this, people want to eat, it’s a revenue stream, and Disney is just leaving money on the table by severely limiting dining.

Why do I expect a ILL for Camdlelight.

They could probably price at $100 per person and still sell out.

There isn't any social distancing at WDW in effect.

I’m sure there’s more to it then Disney trying to stick it to you

Been trying since 6:00 Am and the the site has had many errors all morning. The Candelight reservations page was down for a while and just came back up a few minutes ago and no availability anywhere. I have also been calling and @ 7:00 am the phones lines went from closed to all circuits are busy and have not cleared to be able to even get on hold.

Is that a CP dining package of just a random dining time? Looks like the DP times are ending much earlier.

Ok. Wasn’t sure if they were distancing seating at shows

 

[PhilharMagician]

Now all of the dining pages are down. Looks like IT is having a bad morning.
