Candlelight Processional: Enough time/stroller? About This Page:

[macrosswife]

Based on the advice posted here, DH and I went ahead and booked out CP package! We'll be dining at Le Cellier at 5:50, then attending the 8:15 show.
Question #1:
Is that enought time? (The only other options were 4:10 and then 6:40.) I figured we'll just tell the waiter/waitress that we're booked for the package, and not dawdle?

Question #2:
DS will be 9 months old, and in a Graco travel system stroller (but not in the infant carrier). Do they allow strollers in the American Gardens Theatre in case he's ready to sleep?

Thanks for all your help and expert opinions!

Can't help you with question 2, but I'd think you've got plenty of time between your meal and the CP. The longest we've spent at a WDW restaurant is an hour and a half and even that would only take you to 7.20 p.m. I think you'll be fine.

Hi there! We did the same package last December - but our seating was about 20 minutes earlier than yours. We did have to wait a few minutes for our table, but we got done in plenty of time to join the line! Yes - the line does get long quickly, even for the guaranteed seating! I would arrive a little early if you can, that way you shouldn't have to wait to long past your PS time!

As far as the stroller question - I don't think they let you bring it in. I know I had to park my daughter's rental stroller outside, but she was much older (She was just turned 6 then, but was recovering from a major bout of tummy flu, so the stroller was a must!). In fact - she did fall asleep just as the concert started - loud music always puts her out - she's slept through every band concert my older two have been in. I just held her on my lap - but then had to carry her out all the way to the stroller - at 48 pounds - she was a handful!

If you have a front pack carrier, I would bring it - keep the baby in the stroller till you get to the entrance - then transfer the baby to the carrier for the concert - it is incredible!!!!

They do not let you in with the stroller...even if your child is sleeping. You'll have to park the stroller and carry your DS. That happened to us last year. Danny fell asleep before dinner and slept right through. When we got to the front of the line they let me take him out and park. I carried him to the seat and he woke up at some point during the CP.
