Hiya Lisa,
Thank you so much for visiting us again here at planDisney. I absolutely love that you’re already thinking about the
Disney holiday season. It truly is the merriest time of the year! One of my favorite traditions is taking a little cookie stroll around
EPCOT before settling in to enjoy the beautiful
Candlelight Processional.Speaking of the Candlelight Processional, let’s jump right into your question. The
Candlelight Processional Dining Package is a wonderful option because it provides guaranteed seating in the dining package section for the performance. While seating in that section is still first-come, first-served, having the package gives you access to a reserved viewing area for this very popular holiday show.
As of now, the exact dates and dining packages for this year have not been officially released. But if history repeats itself, those details typically become available around mid-October. Once reservations open, you’ll want to book as soon as your dining window allows.
Advanced dining reservations open 60 days before your visit. If you are staying at a Disney Resort, you can book dining for your entire stay (up to 10 nights) beginning 60 days before your check-in date.
Because these packages are very popular, I recommend logging into your
My Disney Experience app right around 6:00 AM Eastern, which is when reservations typically become available.
I also recommend keeping an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for the official announcement. They always share the latest information about narrators, performance dates, festive treats, merchandise, and all the holiday magic coming to the parks.
Lisa, I hope this helps answer your question and gets you even more excited for a very merry visit. If you have any other questions, please stop by and see us again.
See you real soon,
Christina
