Hi Lisa.
Thanks for visiting me again!
I'm glad that you've decided to visit the Candlelight Processional by means of a
Candlelight Dining Package. It's really your best bet to ensure that you won't be disappointed on the day of the event. The stand-by queue begins very early, and I'm sure you'd rather be enjoying attractions around Epcot with your family!
Garden Grill's Character Dinner is served family style to your table. Pricing here for a Candlelight Dining Package is currently $28.75 for children 3-9 and $56.44 for ages 10+. These prices are inclusive of taxes, gratuity is extra.
Over at Coral Reef, a Candlelight Lunch Package is currently $14.90 for children 3-9 and $56.44 for ages 10+. Again, taxes are included however gratuity is extra. Keep in mind that as a part of your Candlelight Package, each Guest in your dining party is entitled to an appetizer, entree, dessert and non-alcoholic beverage in that price. Booking this location as a late lunch is an excellent value.
Upon reserving by phone or online, you will be asked for your children's ages. Having a 10 year old son who eats like a bird, I completely understand your dilemma. My son often will still order from the children's menu for his entree, even though we've paid adult price. Keep in mind that at many dining locations, if your son's preferred menu item is on the children's menu, you can ask your server if it's possible to have an adult size portion of the children's item prepared for him. This way, you'll receive better value and your son will enjoy the meal he prefers. Simply ask your server and he or she will consult with the chef.
Enjoy the spirit of the holidays at Epcot's Candlelight Processional.
Please visit me again any time you wish! I love answering your questions.
Wishing you a simply Magical time at Walt Disney World Lisa!
