Okay, so the booking for the Candlelight processional opens today. I get on the phone as soon as the lines open... calling the regular line on 1 phone and DVC on the other.
20 minutes later I finally get through on the DVC line. I tell the man I would like to book the CLP for the first night. He says okay, December 12th? What??? 
I explain that I have information that is should be starting on the 26th and tell him who the speaker will be. He is confused....
Now we get on the right date. My options? Any dinner before 5pm. You can eat at 2, 3, 4 or 5pm but no later. The lunch is $10 cheaper... so if I eat at 2pm it will be cheaper? No, dinner price because they serve dinner portions. Okay, now I am confused. We have 2 different prices - you just can't use the first one? "yes, that is right".
So, for the FREE CLP we now have "dinner" at 5pm for the 8:15 show at Teppan Edo at the cost of $61.95 or 2 dinner credits. Wait, when did Teppan Edo go to 2 dinner service credits? It's not, just for the show... ??? OK.... Remember, no lobster allowed. Ok
Cost for Teppan Edo regular dinner? UP to $35.99. (for the most expensive meal - including lobster) So, how do we add $25.00 on to the cost of a free show?
Now, don't get me wrong, I have done this before and paid more for the CLP. I have no real problem with that. The amount this year is just crazy. Add that to the fact that the cast members can not tell you anything at all about speakers with out going through every page on the computer is nuts.
And, I know we ate at LeCellier after the show last time. They are allowing no dinners after the show. So if you want to see the 5pm show plan to eat lunch - I'm sorry, "dinner" at 2pm and pay for the dinner pricing.
