The Candlelight event is the weekend of the 6th, right? Do you need special tickets? We'll be at DLR from the 4th Dec. through the 8th.

Thanks!

Can somebody tell me what the candlelight processional is? I have no idea! I will be there during the time it happens - should I even bother coming if the crowds will be big?

Here (http://mousepad.mouseplanet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=19531&highlight=candlelight) is a link explaining Candlelight and inside that thread is a link to the MP article covering the 2002 event.

The crowds are pretty big, but December weekends are pretty big anyway.

AVP, Disneyland.com only lists the time as 5:15. Are you sure there is going to be a second chance to see it both days?

Is there any credence to the rumour that the Candlelight ceremony is returning to Town Square this year?


The Town Square version has, in the past, only been performed once each evening on two consecutive nights. The Fantasyland Theater version has had two performances per night on the two evenings in a row.


I attended the Fantasyland Theater version last year. It was the first time I had seen it in that location. It was nice, but such a nothing event compared to its Town Square glory days, that I would not bother seeing it there again. If it is (oh please) returning to Town Square this year, I am all over it.


Anyone know the truth???

According to the Nov 7-13 Cast Member Reference Guide I am currently looking at, (don't ask), "This event will be held December 6 and 7 at 5:30 and 8 in Town Square."

So, that's pretty much as official as it gets without a press release.

I'm going from memory here, but I'm pretty sure they did two performances a night at least during the last few years of the previous Town Square performances.

OK, the official Disneyland press release (http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/031114/laf069_1.html) also states its new (returned) location:
The Disneyland "Candlelight" Procession and Ceremony, a holiday tradition for more than 40 years, will return to its historic setting on Main Street, U.S.A., Saturday and Sunday, December 6 and 7. The move follows several years of "Candlelight" presentations in the Fantasyland Theatre.
