Now I didn't pay for my package... but if it was just adults - I would do it again.

Lesmisfan, they tend to announce the narrator(s) late. You may have to commit to a package without knowing who the narrator is. And they are usually different on Saturday and Sunday. We've seen Candlelight a number of times and always enjoyed the narrator although there are a few that really stand out.

Just so that you know the 18th is the date that Annual Passholders can get the tickets, which is supposed to be earlier than the general public according to the Annual Pass website, but either way be prepared to get your tickets, they will most likely be sold out by 6:05 p.m. (they were last year).

You can get dinner packages and have reserved seating or you can just hand out and watch...

Do I see a pattern?

Of course, it may not be their fault. Disney may buy only a limited amount of bandwidth and not pay for more. Has anybody ever found out what the real answer is for the continued crashes?

I'll be watching from the sidelines tonight. If any LP'ers are trying to get through, keep us posted.

I am a big advocate for tradition - However, now that this "semi-private" event is now so popular...It now needs to be like at Disney World in Florida - At a theater that can accomodate more people and have it be more than one weekend - I feel it should be at the Hyperion - It seats 1000's of people - Its inside - And they could sell many more dinner packages.
