2026 Candlelight Processional Dining Packages (Restaurants, Pricing, and Reservations)
Details for the 2026 EPCOT Candlelight Processional dining Packages are now available, and reservations open on October 14, 2026. The packages combine a meal at select EPCOT restaurants with reserved seating for one performance of that evening’s Candlelight Processional. It’s a popular option for guests who want to guarantee a seat for a performance.
Candlelight Processional dining packages are offered during the 2026 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, which runs from November 27 through December 30, 2026. The Candlelight Processional is one of EPCOT’s most beloved holiday traditions, featuring a celebrity narrator, a full orchestra, the Voices of Liberty, and a large choir performing a retelling of the Christmas story.
This year’s lineup includes several returning celebrity narrators along with three new additions: Robin Roberts, Jason Kelce, and Lacey Chabert. See our complete list of 2026 Candlelight Processional celebrity narrators for the dates each narrator is scheduled to appear.
