This is what the Disney website says,Any recommendations on how early the same-day dining packages at Regal Eagle run out? Also, are we allowed to eat lunch at Regal Eagle for the same-day dining package for Processional?
We've never been to WDW during the Festival of the Holidays so we're trying to make sure we catch the Processional as best we can.
Thanks in advance
Thanks, I'd read that too! Just wondering if anybody had any previous experience from last year.
When I saw him via dining package, even the dining package line was nutz.
We have done this and it doesn't take long for the packages to run out. I'm sure it depends on the popularity of the narrator on the day you go, but I would venture that you definitely have to be there for lunch. We made sure to be there when Regal Eagle opened and were able to get the time slot we wanted and ate our lunch. Looks like this year the Regal Eagle is the only option for same-day packages, so I'm sure that will make it even more busy/popular.
Thanks so much for the info! We're planning on rope dropping EPCOT so we'll do lunch at Regal Eagle as soon as it opens. Thanks again
That's exactly what we did -- definitely worth it!Thanks so much for the info! We're planning on rope dropping EPCOT so we'll do lunch at Regal Eagle as soon as it opens. Thanks again
I’m sure I’ve read someone on here saying the queue for Regal Eagle formed an hour before opening! So if you’re going on a day with a popular narrator, get there early.Thanks so much for the info!

Even when it’s not NPH, the Dining package line getting into the venue is often very long. In 2022 (when Isabella Rossellini was the narrator), we were very surprised to find that people had been standing in that line for an hour before we arrived. We barely got decent seats. I should also mention that some of the seats are obstructed by the columns in the venue. Longer ago, we didn’t have to get in line that early to get good seats, which was one of the other advantages of the dining package. I know seats are “guaranteed“, but this doesn’t mean they’re going to be good seats. By the time we were trying to get our seats they already let in the standby line. It was a little bit chaotic.
Thanks! Luis Fonsi is scheduled to be the narrator on the only night we can go. We’ll make sure to head to Regal Eagle a little early for lunch. If there’s no big line, we’ll explore the exhibits!
5:15, 7:00, 8:30
I was one of them for Isabella last year, I was 3rd in the dining package line for the 8:30 show but got there at 7pm. It was definitely crazy, I was solo so it was fine for just me and I talked to the guests that were in line with me but I couldn’t imagine waiting that long with children or a large group, yikes.
