The Candlelight Processional is a special presentation that includes a celebrity narrator, full 50 piece orchestra and a mass choir who are telling the story of the birth of Jesus Christ. It’s quite a spectacle and the first two shows are always full. The third show is full if the celebrity is in high demand.

I have the dining package for 6:45 show. When do you advise I line up to get a seat. and speaking of seats is there a section I should seek out for the bes view? My wife has been dying to see this for years and this is my only chance to make it right ;0P) appreciate any guidance you can provide so I can insure she has a great spot to see the show.

Personally, I line up right after the 5:00 pm show begins, skip the “up front” seats, and get an aisle seat in the first few rows of the middle section to get the best view of the entire event. YMMV based on what kind of view is important to you. Regardless, you will really enjoy!!! Rich W
