Candlelight 2006

It's a fantastic show featuring the reading of The Christmas Story by an often famous celebrity, constantly puncutated by carols and songs sung by a huge, massed choir - with live orchestral accompanyment. It's quite a treat ... and only available to day guests (at a price) in the last 6 years or so - - previously reserved strictly for Disney VIPs.

It's very Christmassy, and a cherished holiday tradition ... even in the shortened form that has come into "fashion" during the last dozen years or so.

I loved the "old" version, the long form ... especially long, since we'd have to camp out for hours to even get a standing room view from the non-VIP section.

about 400 reservations got through before the crash...well sort of... payments were not completed.

it was the orlando link that was the problem. those of us that made it that far have been sent an email from Events with a brief explanation and a promise that there will be additional communication regarding how/when to proceed.

the link was finally removed from the site to prevent further frustration and may be replaced after the technical issues are resolved.

it is not going through Disney Dining (781-DINE) and those CM's know as much as (or as little as) we do.

keeping my fingers crossed because i hope to make it part of my birthday celebration.
