Everything You Need to Know About 2026 EPCOT Candlelight Processional Dining Packages
The holiday season is right around the corner, and Disney has officially revealed details, pricing, and booking dates for the EPCOT Candlelight Processional Dining Packages!
Running from November 27 through December 30, 2026, as part of the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, the Candlelight Processional features a celebrity narrator, a 50-piece live orchestra, and a massed choir performing the traditional story of Christmas at the America Gardens Theatre.
Because stand-by seating fills up hours in advance, booking a dining package is hands-down the best way to guarantee a seat for this beloved show without spending half your day waiting in line.

- At Table-Service Locations: An entrée and dessert (or full buffet/family-style meal), plus a non-alcoholic beverage (or alcoholic beverage for guests 21 and older).
- Guaranteed Seating: A badge that provides reserved seating for a specific Candlelight Processional showtime on the same day.
