By my calculation, would you agree that it is "cost beneficial" to use 2 dining credits to pay for the Candlelight Processional Dinner Package only if you are planning to eat DINNER at the "higher priced" restaurants like Les Chefs de France, Teppan Edo, Tokyo dining? If we wanted to eat at Via Napoli, last years price for dinner was $56.44... I don't think that it makes sense using 2 dining credits in this case, do you? First time booking the package, so "just thinking and planning".... THANKS for any input if I am forgetting something!
To clarify, candlelight dinner package consists of choice of appetizer,
entrée, soft drink, and dessert correct? Also, you get a badge which allows you guaranteed seating at Candlelight Processional, line about 1/2 hour as compared to regular line of about 4 hours correct? Also, immediately after show, separate viewing area for Illuminations, right?
THANKS....Can't wait to book!
The packages include an appetizer, entree, and dessert OR a full buffet meal.
The packages WILL NOT include preferred seating at Illuminations this year due to that booking already being available via MDX. Start looking for packages to be available for booking early next week.
Remember - You can book as early as 6am online and 7am via phone (ET)

we did the dinner package Dec 2011. Did it include illuminations then? We didn't use it if it did and just found a spot. That's funny and it was 12/26. Can't wait to do it this year!The packages WILL NOT include preferred seating at Illuminations this year due to that booking already being available via MDX.
Is that a definite change reported somewhere or do you have inside info?
Just in case anyone has trouble at 6, a few years ago (2012 I think) the packages were not available at 6, they came online at 7 on the day they went on sale.
I assure you this is not speculation. I am a Dine agent. I received the email yesterday and the training was held today.
And, no, Illuminations will not be included. You already have the ability to book at FP+ reservation via the My Disney Experience (MDX).
Cool. Thanks! One more question, a Dine CM advised me to call back on Monday; this was yesterday. Is this correct?
Tuesday. Be aware that the CP packages may not open right at 7am ET. Last year it was an hour later, so just sit tight!

If someone has a regular dining reservation for a specific time which falls during the Candlelight Dinner Package times, can the "regular" dining reservation be converted to the Dining Package?
Thanks!
