Welcome to planDisney, Vicki! Thanks so much for coming to us with your question today. I'm so glad I get to chat with you about my favorite time at Walt Disney World:
the holiday season!
I'm pleased to tell you that you can choose your preferred showtime when booking a
Candlelight Processional Dining Package. In fact, when you go to make your reservation online, you'll actually start by selecting the showtime you'd like to attend. Once you do that, the system will show you a list of restaurants that still have dining packages available for that specific show. It's a great setup because it makes it really easy to plan your day around the experience you want.
And yes, you can totally book the
Rose & Crown Fireworks Dining Package for the same evening if that's your plan! What a magical day that would be: Holiday storytelling and music from the Candlelight Processional followed by a cozy dinner with a perfect view of
Luminous over World Showcase.
If you're hoping to do both experiences in one evening, here's a little tip to help things go smoothly: try to grab a breakfast or lunch Candlelight Processional Dining Package for the earliest showtime available. That way, you'll enjoy the show with plenty of time left in your evening, and you can relax and enjoy the fireworks dinner later without feeling rushed. It also gives you some buffer time to walk around the festival and work up your appetite before settling in at Rose & Crown.
Both reservations are really popular, so if you see availability for the combination you're hoping for, book it! You can always adjust later if your plans change. Just make sure to keep an eye on the cancellation windows if you're modifying anything.
Enjoy your festive night at
EPCOT, Vicki! It sounds like it's going to be one for the memory books.
