Hi Monica!
As part of the
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, the Candlelight Processional beautifully recounts the biblical story of Christmas through narration and music. Celebrity narrators bring the story of Christ’s birth to life, accompanied by a mass choir and a 50-piece orchestra. For my family, this event is an absolute "must-do" during the holiday season - it always fills us with the Christmas spirit.
The celebration takes place at the America Gardens Theatre and is a highlight of the
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. It’s a must-see for anyone looking to experience the true spirit of the season at Walt Disney World!
Guaranteed seats for the event are indeed tied to the
Candlelight Processional Dining Package. This means that to get a reserved seat for the show, you would need to book one of the dining packages offered at select EPCOT restaurants. After dining, you receive a voucher for a specific showtime that evening. It’s a great way to enjoy a festive meal and secure your spot for this popular holiday event. Remember, you’ll still need valid park admission, and reservations are highly recommended as these packages sell out quickly.
Unfortunately, there isn’t an option to purchase a guaranteed seat separately from the dining package. If you’re not interested in dining at the specific restaurants offered with the package, you can still try your luck with the standby line. Keep in mind that the line can be long, especially for performances with popular celebrity narrators, so arriving early is key. Keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for the most up-to-date news and announcements about this year's narrators!
Whether you secure a seat with a dining package or join the standby line, the Candlelight Processional is sure to fill your heart with holiday joy!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question!
