Hello there, Barbara, and welcome to planDisney!
The Candlelight Processional, a part of the
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, is one of those Walt Disney World traditions that I wish my family had started earlier. Last year, we had the pleasure of hearing celebrity narrator Sterling K. Brown read and were in complete awe of the choir and orchestra. Like you, I cannot wait to experience this magical evening later this year. Having a meal and securing a good seat make the night even better: Enter the
Candlelight Processional Dining Package. Let’s take a look at the past 3 years to get a better idea of when the 2024 dates for the Candlelight Processional Dining Packages will be released: October 26, 2021; October 6, 2022; October 17, 2023. This means that we could hear the joyous news any day now. How exciting! Keep your eyes glued to the
Disney Parks Blog for the latest updates about this event.
These packages are considered
Enchanting Extras. Sometimes these fun add-ons open up as early as midnight EST online or in the My Disney Experience App. If you have no luck around then, consider waiting until the normal hour for advance dining reservations, which is around 6 a.m. EST. I highly recommend dining at the
Coral Reef Restaurant at EPCOT if that is available this year as an option. My kiddos loved dining right next to the massive aquarium tank.
Barbara, I hope that this helps. Before we know it, we will be singing along merrily at the Candlelight Processional. If you have any additional questions,
revisit us here at planDisney. See you real soon!
Magic always,
LeAndra
