    What is the procedure for making reservations for the Candlelight Processional dining packages?

    Hiya Carol,

    Thank you so much for stopping by planDisney with your question about the Candlelight Processional — what a practically perfect choice for celebrating the most magical time of the year! This moving performance is truly one of my favorite holiday traditions at EPCOT. Between the celebrity narrator retelling the story of Christmas, the 50-piece orchestra, and the incredible mass choir, you’re sure to feel the spirit of the season (and maybe even a few happy tears).

    Now, let’s unwrap your question together!  According to the Disney Parks Blog, Candlelight Processional Dining Package reservations open on October 14th — which just so happens to be tomorrow! How merry and bright is that? You can book all dining reservations up to 60 days in advance, and if you’re staying at a Disney Resort, you can book for your entire length of stay (up to 10 nights).

    When you’re booking, look for breakfast, lunch, or dinner options that clearly note the Candlelight Processional Dining Package on your My Disney Experience app or on the Disney World website. Each dining package includes guaranteed seating for the show — one admission per person on the reservation — which is a fantastic way to ensure you don’t miss this dazzling event.

    And while you’re in EPCOT, I highly recommend exploring the Festival of the Holidays. It’s a yuletide wonderland! Be sure to enjoy the Holiday Storytellers around World Showcase and, of course, take part in the Holiday Cookie Stroll, because it is such a sweet way to end your day. 

    Carol, I hope your holiday visit is filled with twinkling lights, joyful music, and a little extra pixie dust. If you have any more questions as you plan your festive visit, please stop by again.

    See ya real soon,
    Christina
