Hi Randall,
Thanks so much for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question! I first attended the
Candlelight Processional this past December and it was one of the highlights of my trip. It's such a moving experience that's made even more powerful by the full orchestra and choir that accompany the celebrity narrator. Taking advantage of the Candlelight Dinner Package, which includes dinner at your choice of participating restaurants, guaranteed seating for the event and a VIP viewing of IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth, is a great way to make a night out of the event. Based on last year's timing, I'd expect we'll start seeing more details on the Candlelight Dinner Packages and celebrity narrators around July, so I'd recommend keeping an eye on the link above and the
Disney Parks Blog for more information. If you'd like to be sure you have something booked for your meal, making a dinner-only reservation now is always an option. When you book the dinner package later this summer, you can simply cancel that original reservation.
Wishing you a magical vacation, Randall! Please let us know if you have any other questions as you make your plans.
Beth
