NEWS: PRICES And Booking Details Revealed For 2026 EPCOT Candlelight Processional Dining Package

We love the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays! We love the cookies, the lights, the entertainment- well, gosh, I think we love everything about it. Well, one thing we don’t love is the crowds.

Candlelight Processional!

With the festival only running from November 27th to December 30th, it’s one of the shortest festivals, and that means it can be one of the busiest, especially once you factor in that the holidays are the busiest time at Disney World. While you can’t avoid all crowds, you can avoid some, and one way to bypass the big ones is to book a dining package.

Candlelight Processional is one of the most popular parts of the festival, where a celebrity narrator takes the stage with a 51-piece orchestra and choir to tell the story of Christmas. While there are three shows a night, it feels like there’s always a massive line to get seats.

It’s a beautiful show!

If you grab a Candlelight Processional Dining Package, you get guaranteed seating plus an included meal. Now, that doesn’t sound bad! You even get seating in the front half of the theater, so you’ll be even closer to your favorite narrators.

At Spice Road Table: 2 small plates, a shared tagine, a shared dessert platter, and a nonalcoholic drink (or an alcoholic drink for Guests ages 21+)

These require advance reservations, but you can also try to get a Same-Day Dining Package at Regal Eagle Smokehouse. It costs $43 for adults and $26 for children, and these sell out fast. Make sure you’re lined up and ready to go. Depending on the day, same-day packages might not be available, so if someone can’t live without it, you’ll want to grab a sit-down dining package.
