Hi there, Nicola, and welcome to planDisney! I'm so excited that you're planning a Christmastime visit to Walt Disney World Resort! There's no place like the Most Magical Place on Earth to celebrate the holidays!
Nicola, my family is so excited to see the
Candlelight Processional this year, and we have also been talking about the best way to plan our day so that we can be sure to have a seat for this amazing experience. At first, we weren't sure if we wanted to commit to an
Advance Dining Reservation, knowing that we'd want to take advantage of all of the fun seasonal food and beverage offerings throughout the World Showcase. We considered trying to head to Regal Eagle Smokehouse for a same-day dining package, but I've heard that this has limited availability. I decided that it would be best for our family to go ahead and book a breakfast for the
Candlelight Processional Dining Package at
Garden Grill Restaurant, leaving us the entire rest of the day to snack our way around the world. While this option will cost more than Regal Eagle, I have the peace of mind that we will be guaranteed a seat for the main event of our day!
If you decide that you'd like to try to get a same-day dining package for the Candlelight Processional at
Regal Eagle Smokehouse, you'll want to head there early. You should see a sign outside indicating if they have availability for the showtimes. You'll head inside, order your meal, and request the package.
The
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays is such a beautiful celebration of winter holidays around the world. You'll be in the yuletide spirit in no time at all! Incredible Christmas decorations, delightful music, seasonal food offerings, and more will delight your senses!
Nicola, I hope you have the very best time during your visit to Walt Disney World Resort! Please stop back by planDisney with any other questions you have as you count down to your arrival!
See you real soon!
Jennifer
