In the past, the crowd control has been somewhat unpredictable, but with the additional nights this year, they'll probably have some sort of system worked out for getting in to the viewing area.
Like Fantasmic!, the second show is generally easier to get a spot for. |

Fri 11/30/2012 7:51p | I totally agree! I hated being at DL during processional weekend. I am really bummed now; I'm not sure I'll ever go again in December. |

Wonder how it would do if it was in The Theater in DCA.. we will be there in mid December for ten days.will have a good look how it fairs. |

Sat 12/1/2012 10:57a | It will be interesting to see if Candlelight is a madhouse every night (like the first showing of Fantasmic) or if the increased nights spread the crowd out nicely. I can see it going either way; Candlelight is highly popular among AP's (and a lot of people will want to see the various celebrity readers), and yet it's not a "spectacle"-type show like Fireworks or F!, meaning that once or maybe twice per season may be enough for most people.
It's uncharted waters for DL and it will be interesting to see what happens. |

Sat 12/1/2012 12:22p | The interesting thing about the Candlelight Processional is that it goes against the grain of how Corporate America approaches Christmas these days. Unlike with the bland and generic "Happy Holidays" which has become the norm, Disney is not only specifically celebrating Christmas, it has made what is essentially a partial recreation of the midnight Christmas Mass into the centerpiece of its celebration. |
