I need opinions on 2 questions:

My brother, who lives in Tampa and has been to WDW over 1000 times, thinks that Rose and Crown is one of the best restaurants in EPCOT. DB and his family eat there at least once a month. The reviews on the internet, though, are mostly not good. What do ya'll think?

Second, I really don't want to use 2 TS credits for the Candlelight Processional Package this year but have never done it without the package. Is it hard to get a seat without getting the package?
