I'm going on Dec 5 with Pat Sajak, and I'm not doing the dining package. How early should I line up? Does it make a difference which showtime you choose, or all they all crowded?
A. 2-3 hours (as a guess.) But, at WDW, "earlier" beats "later" every time.I'm going on Dec 5 with Pat Sajak, and I'm not doing the dining package.

B. If you line up for the 2nd or 3rd show, you may be standing in line while the previous show is going on.
C. 1-4 hours (as a WILD guess.) At WDW, arriving "earlier" to a line beats arriving "later" every time.So, if you don't mind going to the second or third show in a day,
C. how many hours early do you need to be there?
D. Do they often have people still left in line after the first show
E. or does the line start fresh most times?
Ok, I have to ask, is it really worth a possible 3-4 hour wait?
I see what you're saying. Unfortunately the dining package is just too much for this particular trip. I had worked in a 2 hour wait into my plans, so I'll stick with that and see what happens. Thanks!Most guests who are interested in seeing a popular narrator and don't want to invest that kind of time will book the Candlelight Dining Pkg.
But, there are some guests (many are locals who have APs) who actually don't plan on doing anything else at Epcot that day, who can make sort of an "adventure" out of waiting to see a given performer.
Think of the similar kind of thing for people who camp out waiting for certain concert tickets to go on sale, or wait to buy a new iPhone, etc.
We have a dining package at GG for the 6:45 show to see Neil Patrick Harris, when should we start lining up? I have it in my plans for 5-5:15.
I am also a bit confused as to why it is necessary to line up so early with package seating. Do they not have enough seats for everyone who bought the package? My son has Down syndrome and we have a DAS. He cannot do long lines. We got the package and I was hoping to get there a half hour in advance. I take it this will be an issue. Any thoughts or experiences from someone who has gone through that? Would it be possible for one person to save a spot for the family in line with a CP package and then have my husband and son join later?

I've never been to the CP before, but I assume there is a reserved seating section for wheelchair guests and their parties?
When I have been there, the standby line stays all night.....not all the standby people can get let into the first show, so if you're looking for the 2nd or 3rd show, you will definitely be listening to it while in line...
Yup.Once you are seated in the theater can you leave to use the restroom and be let back in? I know they allow this for the Eat to the Beat concerts but wondering if it's the same for this.
So if Im only interested in hearing it, is there a good place to sit or hang out outside of the theater that wouldn't require me to wait in line?And really, the point is to hear it anyway LOL. That's why I don't really get the point of standing in line that whole time. Just hang out near by and listen. But, I know some people really want to sit up close. That's when I do the package. I would not want to stand in that line for hours on end.
