A CM I spoke to said the only way to get a guaranteed seat is to get the dinner package.

We'll get a show before the show. That's getting the biggest bang for your buck in my book. I started a thread asking if anyone knew how it worked with the other tiers since none of the choices are buffets. I finally got a indisputable answer from an unnamed source. Every place except the buffets have a special menu which leads me to believe that you will most likely be paying more than $5 extra for your seating @ the Procession.
