We did the CP Dinner Package last year when Marlee Matlin was the guest speaker. We were astounded when walking by the theatre to see a huge line waiting, an hour before the event. We stopped and asked a CM about the line, thinking we might be missing something, and he told us it was for Candlelight, and it was a relatively short line as Candlelight often plays to standing room only audiences.

We came back about ten minutes before and sat in the third row. Granted, they were way up front and to the left of the stage. Had a lovely view of the percussion section. :D However, we had guaranteed seating, thoroughly enjoyed it, and enjoy ourselves instead of standing around for an hour or so.

We had dinner at the Rose and Crown. it was a tier II package, I believe, and I think we could have chosen a better value for the food. HOWEVER, we could NOT beat the ringside seating for Illuminations.

Yes, for us, given the atmosphere, food, and incredible evening, it was a great value.
