No we just lined up and watched the show purely because it was a spare of the moment decision we had planned to go to a water park that day but it to cold

December 6 - 8's slot has been filled by Anika Noni Rose, who is playing Princess Tiana in "The Princess and the Frog."

I am glad she is doing it. She was great in the series on HBO No #1 Ladies Detective show she played the second in command. She will be good listening to.

November 27 — December 30, 2009

During the holidays, Epcot theme park is transformed into an international celebration of Yuletide traditions filled with festive decorations and live entertainment. From Holidays Around The World to Candlelight Processional, delight in the sights and sounds of the season.

Candlelight Processional is a special holiday event held nightly at the American Gardens Theatre in Epcot theme park as part of Holidays Around The World. The event retells the stirring story of Christmas with a special celebrity narrator accompanied by a 50-piece orchestra and a mass choir.

Candlelight Processional is a terrific way to get in the Christmas spirit and to share the magic of the season with your family and friends. The event has become an essential family tradition for many Guests — once you experience it, you will be inspired to share it every year with the ones you love.

This unforgettable spectacle is held on select nights during the holiday season and, due to its popularity, often fills up quickly. To ensure you have a seat, you may participate in one of our Candlelight Dinner Packages* that includes a delicious dinner, a Guaranteed seating section for the Candlelight Processional, and pre-arranged fireworks viewing. For more information or to make dinner reservations, please call (407) WDW-DINE (939-3463).†

We will be attending the 8 PM showing on December 24th. Dinner at Teppan Edo at 5:30 and then off to the show with preferred seating. A ;ittle extra that way, but I think worth it. Looking forward to it.

We ate at Le Cellier in 2006 at around 3:00 (Lunner) and went to the 5:30 show. FYI, even though we had a dinner/show ticket, we still needed to wait in line with all the other Dinner/show people before the stand-by people got on line. We got on line around 4:45ish after walking over from Canada. Also, since you are going into the Dinner/show special section of seats, don't sit too close to the front. 4-5 rows back is perfect and will let you see the whole stage.

We saw Brian Dennehy and he was great. Enjoy!

MickManiac · #14 (**permalink**) 10-28-2009, 04:54 PM

We're going 11/30 - 12/5. Hope we can get in and catch one of the shows.

Good tip on the 4th or 5th row. Thanks for that. How early did you get in line before the show to get good seats?

Edward James Olmos will be reading when we are there Christmas Eve at the 8PM show...right after a nice entertaining meal at Teppan Edo. Going to be a big day. Can't wait!

For those who have experience with such things, how early do you recommend that you get in line if you are doing the dining package and want to get good seats? (4th or 5th row as previously recommended to me) Our reservations are for 5:15 and we are set for the 8:15 show.

**Oh Pooh** · #19 (**permalink**) 12-01-2009, 11:03 AM

I wouldn't know Jim but last year when we went to eat at Japan at 5pm the lines was stretching back to Germany

Not sure if we will try or not but might but when my DH saw the price he said no way. He said if we do one we would wait in line ..what can I say?
