Hi Brian,
Thanks for visiting planDisney! I’m happy to hear you’re planning to see the
Candlelight Processional on your next visit. There is something so magical about listening to a retelling of the story of Christmas accompanied by a choir and orchestra. It is one of my favorite holiday experiences at Walt Disney World Resort.
At this time, I am not seeing any availability for the
Candlelight Processional Dining Package on December 8. This is a popular package, so unfortunately, that date may have been completely booked. If you’re flexible with your EPCOT visit, you may try for another date, but you can also try to purchase a Same-Day Dining Package on December 8th. To purchase a Same-Day package, visit Regal Eagle Smokehouse to dine without reservations and receive a guaranteed seat at the Candlelight Processional show that day. These packages are subject to availability, so I recommend visiting earlier in the day to purchase the package. In the meantime, I suggest checking the
dining site frequently to see if any packages become available. Of course, you can always try to attend a performance without a dining package, but seating is first-come, first-served, so there may be a line of other Guests waiting for the same performance.
I really hope you get to see the Candlelight Processional, Brian! Once or twice, I’ve even grabbed a plate from a
Holiday Kitchen and found a place to stand nearby to listen to the performance. Keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for a Disney Foodie Guide to the Holiday Kitchens! If you have any future questions, please come back to see us again at
