Hiya, Chad! Welcome back to planDisney!
Thanks for coming back to see us here in our happy little corner of the Internet.
Walt Disney World Resort is magical at all times, but in my opinion it’s even more magical during the holiday season. It’s my absolute favorite time of year to visit. I like your style, Chad!
To answer your question, Chad, you will be able to make your
Candlelight Processional Dining Package reservation 60 days before your visit, or if you’re staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel, 60 days before your check-in day for the entirety of your stay for up to 10 days. Based on the arrival date you’ve provided, you would be able to make your reservation as early as October 19, 2026.
The Candlelight Processional Dining Packages are a great way to experience the Candlelight Processional, Chad. Note that on the day of your visit, you will enter America Gardens Theatre in a separate queue, and you will be seated on a first-come, first-served basis. Your seating is guaranteed, which is great!
I also highly recommend taking part in the Holiday Cookie Stroll. Cookies and Christmas, it doesn’t get any better than that! There will be plenty of other seasonal offerings going on all over Walt Disney World Resort. I recommend considering attending
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom Park or
Disney Jollywood Nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Both are phenomenal experiences that can add something extra special to your holiday visit.
I hope this answers your question, Chad! If you have any other questions as you plan your magical holiday trip, don’t hesitate to come back and see us here at
planDisney. We’re always happy to help!
See you real soon!
