Hiya, Marisa! Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney. We're so glad you decided to be our guest! There's no better place to celebrate the holidays than
Walt Disney World Resort, and I'm happy to help with your question to add a little extra magic to this special time of year.
The EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays is one of my very favorite events at Walt Disney World! Our family loves to visit during this festival to enjoy all of the amazing food offered at the Holiday Kitchens and enjoy our favorite park when it's all decked out for the season. One of the highlights of the festival is undoubtedly the
Candlelight Processional. This event features a celebrity narrator reading the story of Christmas, accompanied by a choir and a full orchestra. It's really special, and if you haven't attended before, you will love it!
The Candlelight Processional is free for all EPCOT Guests with valid park admission, but seating is limited and standby lines will start forming quite early on some days. To guarantee seating, a
Candlelight Processional Dining Package is a great idea! With a package, Guests will enjoy a leisurely meal (breakfast, lunch, or dinner, depending on the restaurant) and receive one pass per Guest for the Processional.
Marisa, you'll be happy to know that Guests with the dining package may select any entree from the menu, including a dessert and a nonalcoholic beverage (or an alcoholic beverage for Guests 21+). The one exception is lobster entrees, which will incur an additional fee.
Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria and
Coral Reef Restaurant are both great choices! I recommend booking your package sooner rather than later, as they are very popular.
I hope this information is just what you need for some merriment and magic this holiday season! Thanks again for visiting planDisney, and please stop back anytime if we can help with additional questions.
See Ya Real Soon!
Susan
