    Does Epcot still have the candlelight processional during December? If so, are reservations/additional cost required?

    Welcome to planDisney, Bonnie!

    I am happy to report that the Candlelight Processional is returning for the 2024 holiday season at EPCOT! "Oh, what fun" It will be celebrating the holidays with the story of Christmas, a celebrity narrator, and singing along with the fabulous choir at this merry event. I can't wait to experience it too! Jolly news of this year's processional lineup hasn't been announced yet, so in the meantime, check out this wonderful article from last year's Candlelight Processional from the Disney Parks Blog! Be sure to follow this page, as well as @disneyparks and @plandisneypanel on Instagram to keep up with all the merry updates! 

    Dining packages typically can be booked 60 days before your arrival. The cost of a dining package is at a set price per person at select restaurants. You will receive a voucher to sit in the preferred seating area in the America Gardens Theatre to enjoy the show. Once your 60-day window opens, make your reservations using your My Disney Experience mobile app, or by logging in to your MyDisney account on your computer. 

    The EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays will be making its merry return with other favorites, including the Holiday Cookie Stroll, and Olaf's Holiday Tradition Expedition Scavenger Hunt! Say hi to Santa Claus in the Odyssey Pavilion, and enjoy dining around the world in the various Holiday Kitchen booths throughout EPCOT. Take a look at last year's Foodie Guide by Disney Eats highlighting all the delicious treats and foods from international countries! I hope the 
    Snickerdoodle Cookie made with SNICKERS returns this year!

    Bonnie, I hope all of this information was helpful! If you need additional pixie dust for your jolly holiday, you can send me questions anytime. You've got a friend in me!

    Happy Holidays!
