Epcot Holiday Storytelling

Does anyone know when the Epcot lineup is released and what World Showcase restaurants are involved in advanced seating? Would love to attend this during December visit. How soon should we look to reserve at any of the restaurants which do have advanced seating arrangements? My wife has said this seems like don't miss for our first December WDW visit.

If you are talking about the Candlelight Processional at Epcot...definately don't miss it!! It is incredible! Some people will tell you not to worry with the dinner package, but I disagree. We did the dinner package at Alfredos (which I don't recommend), and got great seats for the processional. We did still have to wait in line and the line got quite long behind us, but it was well worth it.

I agree with jodilt. The Candle light processional is great. We also got the dinner plan and it was well worth the money!! Also It's nice because you get to sit up close and can see everything much better!

I believe that the list of narrators came out last year in Aug - I think there was one change in the schedule announced later on. Package tickets (which I highly recommend) went on sale last year on Sep 2. I got up that morning, extra early, and sat on hold for almost 2 hours. I was able to secure a package for Le Cellier on Christmas Eve. Later in the day I though about maybe changing my dinner time to 15 mins earlier. When I called back they had nothing left for Le Cellier at all that night. This (both the dinner and processional) was an absolute highlight of our trip (possibly a highlight of my year) and I'm glad we planned ahead. Moral of the story - watch the net, pick your date, show and restaurant and set your alarm early!

My mother and I had tickets for the 6:45 show on 12/5. The 5 pm show was closed to the general public,but we got on line at 3:45 anyway,because Jim Caviezel was the narrator,and I wanted to be able to tape the performance and the best seat for that would go quickly. Yes,it IS worth getting the dinner package.
