Hi Jean,
The Candlelight Processional at
EPCOT is truly one of the most magical experiences you can have during the holiday season at Walt Disney World. This cherished tradition brings together a full orchestra, a mass choir, and a celebrity narrator to tell the story of Christmas in a way that is both moving and awe-inspiring. There’s something about the combination of the music, the storytelling, and the twinkling lights that capture the spirit of the season.
The Candlelight Processional Dining Package is, in my opinion, a fantastic way to make the most of this experience. Not only do you get to enjoy a delicious meal at one of EPCOT's wonderful
restaurants, but you also secure a guaranteed seat for this beautiful production. As the Processional is a popular event, those reserved seats can make all the difference, especially during the busy holiday season.
Now, while I’m impatiently waiting for this year's details to be released, I do want to share that, typically, you cannot use Disney Dining Plan credits to book a Candlelight Processional dining package that includes reserved seating. To guarantee your reservation, you’ll need to use your regular payment method. However, there has been a same-day Candlelight Processional Dining Package option in the past that includes a non-reservation meal at
Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbeque and reserved seating for the Candlelight Processional. This option is available on a first-come, first-served basis and can be a great alternative if you're looking for a more flexible experience.
To stay in the loop with all the
Holiday Happenings, including this year's Candlelight Processional announcements, I recommend keeping an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog. It's the best source for the most up-to-date information and any new options that might become available.
