***Official Candlelight Processional Dining Package Watch - 2018***

[gwynne]

I’m going to wait until tomorrow too. Hopefully they actually post some details so I know what I’m booking. But if the way they approached the Food & Wine events is any clue, I’m not too optimistic. I think it took them several WEEKS after booking opened to post the details on some events!

Disney has a peculiar approach to selling these events, that's for sure. It's really nice, though, that we can share info on these threads.

Got in at 8:49, answered right away have been on for 8 minutes she kept refreshing and NOTHING is open

Still nothing. CM said they won't give another 'time' officially, just in case they don't get it loaded by what they promised... I'm all about managing expectations but, geez.

I don't know how people with jobs are supposed to be able to do this stuff!

 

[BDK33]

Yep, just got the same response...she said it was a "glitch" and to keep trying back.

As much as I hate to say it, I won't be shocked in the least if nobody is able to book at 9:00 AM either

You would be correct. They said later today but no time given

I just got off the phone and only Tokyo Dining the only one loaded. It's $78 and change. She also said that the Ale and Compass is $40.47 for breakfast and the Bon Voyage breakfast at Trattoria for $55.38.

I don't know how the people who are supposed to have these things ready still have jobs.

I really didn't want to be correct, honestly

Wasn’t able to book at 9:15 - looking for Biergarten (my mom’s favorite). Very polite cast member on the pass holder line said they are supposed to load this morning so try again after a bit.

She did ask for my AP number, my resort reservation number and dates, and my name/address.

I think more importantly, I don't know how the "people" that are just trying to BOOK these things still have jobs.

Just got off the phone at 9:20a, after waiting on hold for a while, to be told the system was still down and to try again in 15 minutes. The CM was clearly in a hurry to get me off the phone and said to keep checking the website to see if it loads on the website. Once it loads on the website it's all good. I mentioned that I thought we had to call, that it wasn't online for the AP advanced booking. She simply repeated to check the website and then hung up on me before I could say another word.

My dvc cm has me on hold ,says they should be loading any minute. I am not confident.

So tomorrow morning when I go onto the Disney site and put in the date and time I want an ADR, will all the CP package restaurants just show up like they do for the Fantasmic package? I have never booked a CP package or gone to WDW after Thanksgiving, so I've not seen a pop-up box.

Where should we be checking on the website...the reservations page for our date, or the CP page? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Close.....You will choose the restaurant you'd like first from the CP link and then enter the date and time range. As long as they're all loaded, you will get your options. There always seems to be at least one that isn't loaded for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. An example of this was Garden Grill breakfast one year.

 

[Sandy Mouse]

I miss Neil by a DAY!!! Wah. So who has seen CP with Whoopi? Do tell!

Me, too. So close!!

 

[lovin'fl]

Not supposed to be on website today. Have to call in.

 

[brnrss34]

I don’t think they know what time they are loading them in the system I was just told to check in an hour and a half from now.

I have no idea. That's what I was attempting to get clarification on when she hung up on me...
