Candlelight Processional question
I am looking to go to the Candlelight Processional during our Thanksgiving week trip. Going by last year's dates, the 1st night was the night after Thanksgiving. I am able to make my ADRs May 25th - but last years Candlelight Processional dinner pacakages didn't start booking until July.
Should I make my ADR for a regular dinner when I can in May and then can they just switch it to the Candlelight Processional Dinner once they allow you to book it?

Re: Candlelight Processional question
Make that ADR in May,but realize that you will have to call and book the Candlelight Processional package. They will NOT automatically change it over to the CP package for you.

Re: Candlelight Processional question
I see you've gotten my advice before I gave it. Make a reservation for now and cancel when and if you get your first choice.

Re: Candlelight Processional question
OK, so I'll book the dinner when its time to make my ADRs and then change it when the processional package opens up.
So, if I book a regular ADR at LeCellier - when I change it to the Candlelight Proc Pkge, do they just change the original ressie or do I have to cross my fingers and book it again as if it were a new reservation?

Re: Candlelight Processional question
I'm pretty sure that 2 years ago, they went on sale in the beginning of August.
That strategy worked for us two years ago...If you don't have a backup plan, you don't have a plan!

Re: Candlelight Processional question
Book your ADRs as soon as possible including the day you want the Candlelight Processional. When the packages go on sale, call back and book the Candlelight Dinner Package and cancel your original ADR. The ADR will not transfer over automatically. This is how it was explained to us by a CM. 1/2 the seating in the restaurant is for regular diners and 1/2 for Candlight Processional packages. Otherwise the restaurant would be entirely taken up with Packages and no one else would get to dine. It's like having 2 separate sheets of paper for the ADRs. 1 for regular ADRs and 1 for Packages. The 2 do not cross over. We booked an ADR for Le Cellier when we were able to for the night we wanted the Processional. When the packages were released, we called back and booked the package with dinner at Le Cellier. The system did flag our existing ADR to indicate that we already had a regular ADR at Le Cellier an hour later. We told the CM that we would be cancelling the original regular ADR but we wanted to make sure we had a confirmed ADR for the Processional first. We got the Processional ADR and the CM cancelled our original one. We figured that even if we didn't get manage to get the Processional Package, we would have dinner and try to see the Processional standby. One thing to remember. You must have dinner before your Processional time. You will receive your Processional tickets at the end of dinner. We will be doing exactly the same thing this year. Booking a dinner ADR for Marrakesh this time at our 180 day mark and cancellling it when we book our Processional Package dinner in the summer.
