The meal package is the way to go. Really helps with seating. We have seen Gary Sinese and Steven Curtise Chapman.

His haircut was much better than the one he has in Mission Space.

Ah, yes, the ride that taught me the hard way that when Disney tells you to do something ("If you start feeling uncomfortable, look straight ahead, do not close your eyes"), you DO it. ("Mom, are you okay?" "NO, I CLOSED MY EYES!!!")

Never been at Christmas before and so excited about the chance to see this

Am I right we need yo book a fine package

I was there for Gary Sinise, who was great. Cecily Tyson sang along with the choir, a very moving experience. Anxiously awaiting the announcement for December 3-9.

Yes. Yes, we do.

This is where we are eating for our CL dinner. I hope it is good.

Excited to follow along in "the watch."

We did CP last year for the first time we were really enjoying it, but about 3/4 of the way through it started monsooning. So I'm really excited to try again this year. This time we'll be going with extended family, so I want them to be able to experience it as well.

I saw some mentioned about doing biergarten for the DP. We did the lunch there last year. We always enjoy the food and show, plus it was one of the cheaper options (aps, so we were paying oop). It was a great meal, we took our time, stayed for the show etc...

This year, we will have the deluxe DP for one day. I was telling my family this would be a good time to do the CP dining package. So...suggestions for a good use of 1 TS for CP package. I would assume dinner would be the best value. Maybe chefs de france? Suggestions?

 

[Elitravelor]

Which restaurants have been included in the package in previous years? Do they typically sell out?

JadeDarkstar and cruisin5, Biergarten is a must do on all our trips. Is the food "gourmet"? Not by "foodie" standards, but it's unique, very well prepared considering it's a buffet, and we've ALWAYS enjoyed it. My son would eat his weight in German Cheesecake, pretzel rolls, and spaetzel if I let him. I'm also a big fan of the beer flight. The band has been playing there forever, and they're terrific, so much fun.

The ONLY thing I wish was different, although I completely understand why it is the way it is, is the seating. It's "family style," meaning you're going to be at a long table full of strangers. In all but one of our trips, this has actually turned out to be pretty neat because you do meet people from all over and get to swap stories. One time, however, it was SUPER awkward as the other group at our table clearly didn't know about the seating and were NOT happy about it. That said, I would imagine that during the holidays, guests will be even more outgoing, and the seating situation could turn out to be a real plus!

Thanks for the heads up about the seating. I did that at the bbq meal in DL so it's cool with us. I do like to sit on the edge of those tables that's part of my anxiety I think.
We don't drink but I have heard the bands cool I am excited to see they do Christmas songs at the time we will be there.

I was born in Germany so I think this will be fun and bring back some old times.

When do you think we'll be able to book the package? I'm so excited! This will be our first time visiting at Christmas
