Hi Michelle,
The Candlelight Processional at
EPCOT's International Festival of the Holidays is the premiere event of the season. There is nothing better than listening to your favorite celebrity narrate the Christmas story alongside a 50-piece orchestra and choir. It is an incredibly moving experience and worth prioritizing on a trip to Disney World during the holiday season.
The
Candlelight Processional Dining Package is the perfect way to ensure you have reserved seating to experience this event while also getting a fabulous holiday feast at one of EPCOT's unique restaurants beforehand. I was excited to see that they have added several new restaurants to this year's lineup so there are even more options to get a delicious meal and premium seating. The price of this package will depend on which restaurant you choose to dine at. Last year prices ranged from $55 to $104 per adult but prices for 2024 have not been released yet. Reservations are set to open on October 29, 2024, and they go extremely fast, especially for some of the more iconic narrators. If this is something you are set on doing, I would be ready to make reservations as soon as the window opens.
If you book, pay close attention to which performance your reservation guarantees seating for. There are multiple performances throughout the evening and the time of day of your reservation will determine which show your reserved seating is at. You will not be able to use it for a different time so it is important to ensure that the performance time and the dining reservation time both work for you when making your Candlelight Processional Dining Package reservation.

Happy Planning,
