2025 Candlelight Processional Dining Packages (Restaurants, Pricing, and Reservations)
Dining package reservations for the 2025 Candlelight Processional at Epcot will become available starting October 14, 2025. Below, we’ve provided a list of participating restaurants, a chart with pricing for adults and children, and other reservation details. We have a separate article that lists the celebrity narrators for 2025. This year’s schedule features eight new celebrities, including notable names such as Jennifer Garner and Brie Larson.
To provide a little backstory, the Candlelight Processional is a retelling of the story of Christmas. Each evening of the Festival of the Holidays, a celebrity steps in to provide narration. They are accompanied by a 50-piece orchestra and a massed choir. It’s an exceptionally popular event. With so many popular celebrities, guests are sure to encounter long lines. We’ve even seen guests line up for hours ahead of select performances. As you can imagine, some narrators can draw quite a crowd. Therefore, the first-come, first-served seating will be limited for many of the nightly showtimes. That’s where the dining packages come into play.
Guests who purchase a dining package are guaranteed a seat (1 seat per person) to a Candlelight Processional performance on the same day. So if there’s someone you would really like to see, you might consider purchasing a dining package.
What’s Included in the Dining Package
Per Disney, the 2025 Candlelight Processional Dining Package includes the following:
- At Most Participating Restaurants: An entrée and dessert, or one full buffet (where applicable)—as well as one nonalcoholic beverage (or alcoholic beverage for Guests 21 and older)
- At Spice Road Table: 2 small plates, a shared tagine, a shared dessert platter, and one nonalcoholic beverage (or alcoholic beverage for Guests 21 and older)
Plus, you’ll get one (1) guaranteed seat per person to a Candlelight Processional performance on the same day.
