Hi Jason, welcome to planDisney!
According to the travel date you provided, you have reached your
window for booking Advance Dining Reservations, and you can book the
Candlelight Processional Dining Package. Many restaurants in EPCOT participate in the dining package, but you must book your reservation as a dining package to receive a guaranteed seat at the Candlelight Processional performance that day.
The Candlelight Processional Dining Package is a popular offering, so if you’re unable to book for the date you want, I recommend trying for another date during your visit. There are also Same-Day Dining Packages available at
Regal Eagle Smokehouse. Regal Eagle does not require reservations, and you’ll receive guaranteed seats to a Candlelight Processional performance later that day. These same-day dining packages are subject to availability, so you may have better luck getting tickets if you visit Regal Eagle for an early lunch once it opens for the day!
The Candlelight Processional Dining Package guarantees seating at a designated showtime, but seating will still be first-come, first-served. Before the performance, you should look for signage near the America Gardens Theater indicating where Dining Package Guests should line up for the show.
I hope this gives you some options for seeing the Candlelight Processional, Jason. If you’re unable to secure a guaranteed seat, you can still see the performance. The remaining seats are also first-come, first-served, so you’ll want to arrive earlier to join the waiting area. If you have any more questions, we’ll be here to help at
planDisney!
