Hey there, David! Welcome to planDisney and thanks for stopping by with such a great question.
You are someone after my own Christmas and Disney-loving heart, David. I absolutely adore the
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays - Candlelight Processional. Hearing the story of Christmas told by a celebrity narrator, a beautiful orchestra and an awe-inspiring choir is so moving and just the perfect way to get into the spirit of Christmas. A
Candlelight Processional Dining Package is my favorite way to guarantee I get a fabulous holiday meal and seat for this beloved experience, so let's make sure
you get a reservation!
You may be able to book a Candlelight Processional Dining Package 60 days before your arrival. So, if I have your arrival date correct, I recommend going to
the Candlelight Processional Dining Package page on the Walt Disney World website or My Disney Experience app to see if it's available for booking on October 9, 2023.
However, just be aware that at this time, details about the Candlelight Processional and how and when to book a Candlelight Processional Dining Package have not yet been announced, and the dining packages are not yet available for booking. I recommend keeping a close eye on the Walt Disney World website and
Disney Parks Blog for the information as soon as it drops. It could be announced any day now!
Keep in mind that sometimes, reservations for dining packages are not released for booking right at 60 days out. If October 9th comes and goes and you were not able to book a Candlelight Processional Dining Package, I recommend checking back with the website or app often. Once you are within your booking window, the reservation could be released at any time. Happy booking and even happier holidays!
I hope this helps, David, and I hope you have the very merriest time on your holiday vacation. Please feel free to stop by any time with any questions you may have.
Stay merry and bright,
Mandy
