Hello Francis!
Welcome to planDisney! There are so many special events occurring in the Parks during the holidays in Walt Disney World that it's hard to make plans. The
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays is one of the most diverse with its Holiday Kitchens and Holiday Storytellers. Special foods and stories that share how the holidays are celebrated all over the world are a great way to enjoy the beauty of the season.
The Candlelight Processional has been a
tradition for over 65 years in the Disney Parks and has grown and continues to be popular to this day. Details for this year's
Candlelight Processional have not been announced yet but we anticipate news to appear very soon. (I'm wondering if it will be any day now.) I just checked the
Disney Parks Blog, where all the latest news will be posted, and it is still not announced yet.
Last year the restaurants included in the Dining Package were Akershus Royal Banquet Hall, Spice Road Table, Rose & Crown Dining Room, Biergarten Restaurant, Coral Reef Restaurant, and Le Cellier Steakhouse. I expect the restaurants to be similar most likely. Last year, there was also a dining package that could be booked the day of the show with
Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Crafts Drafts & Barbecue. I hope this restaurant option returns this year!
When making reservations for a dining package you must select Candlelight Processional Dining Package and not just book a reservation at that restaurant. Only certain reservations are set aside for the package so when using the My Disney Experience Mobile App make sure to search for the package specifically. Of course, you will have to wait when until it is announced and bookings are open!
I hope this helps and you have a fabulous time!
Happy Planning!
