Candlelight Processional Dining Package reservations and alerts
A meal at a participating EPCOT restaurant with a guaranteed same-day seat at the Candlelight Processional, the Christmas story told by a celebrity narrator with choir and orchestra. Without one you join a standby line with no promise of a seat, and Disney recommends booking well ahead.

“Park Drop consistently found Disney dining reservations we couldn’t get ourselves.” — Emily M.
A holiday concert after your meal
The Candlelight Processional retells the Christmas story at EPCOT, with a celebrity narrator, a large choir and a full orchestra.
The package adds a meal at a participating restaurant and one guaranteed seat per person at a performance later that day.
At most restaurants the meal is an entrée and dessert, or the buffet where there is one, with a drink. Spice Road Table serves small plates, a shared tagine and a dessert platter instead.
Where you eat
For the 2026 festival, November 27 to December 30, Disney sells the package at 16 EPCOT restaurants. Prices are per person before tax and tip, for adults (10 and up) and children (3 to 9):
- Akershus Royal Banquet Hall, Norway: $87 adults, $59 children, lunch and dinner only
- Biergarten Restaurant, Germany: $75 adults, $40 children

On the Disney Dining Plan the package uses one table-service meal, or two at Akershus and Le Cellier. Regal Eagle’s same-day package is not part of the plan.
Depending on the restaurant, the package can be breakfast, lunch or dinner, so you need not eat right before the show.
Afterward, the restaurant gives you seating badges showing your performance date and showtime.
Why the guaranteed seat matters
Without a package, you join a standby line at America Gardens Theatre and are seated only if there is room.
In 2026 the show plays three times a night at America Gardens Theatre, at 4:45 PM, 6:30 PM and 8:00 PM, and your badge names one of them.
Package guests have their own line and a guaranteed seat, though where you sit depends on when you arrive.
Disney notes packages may not be offered on peak dates.
If your trip falls outside the holidays, EPCOT runs the Disney on Broadway Concert Series Dining Package in winter and the Garden Rocks Dining Package in spring.
Catching a cancelled package
Bookings need a credit card guarantee, and a cancelled package returns to sale with no announcement.
Deciding on the day? Disney also sells a same-day package at Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue, where you eat without a reservation and see a performance later that day.
To book ahead instead, set an alert above and Park Drop will email and text you when a package opens for your date and party size.
