If you want a guaranteed seat at the 2026 EPCOT Candlelight Processional, a dining package is your best option. Here's everything you need to know.
The Candlelight Processional runs November 27 through December 30, 2026, with three performances nightly at 4:45pm, 6:30pm, and 8:00pm at the America Gardens Theatre. Without a dining package, seating is first-come, first-served and fills up fast — especially for popular narrators.
Dining packages open for booking on October 14, 2026.
EPCOT Candlelight Processional 2026 Narrator Lineup: Full Schedule
What's Included
Every dining package includes one guaranteed seat per person to a same-day Candlelight Processional performance, plus a meal at a participating EPCOT restaurant.
At most restaurants, that means an entrée and dessert, or a full buffet where applicable, plus a nonalcoholic beverage (or alcoholic drink for guests 21 and older).
At Spice Road Table, the package works differently — you get 2 small plates, a shared tagine, a shared dessert platter, and a nonalcoholic beverage (or alcoholic drink for guests 21 and older).
After your meal, the restaurant issues a seating badge with your date and showtime. Dining package holders enter the America Gardens Theatre through a separate queue and are seated first-come, first-served within the reserved section. Arriving early gets you the best spot.
