EPCOT Candlelight Processional dining packages for the 2026 International Festival of the Holidays are now open to book. Booking opened this morning, October 14, at 6 a.m., with 16 EPCOT restaurants taking part and prices from $43 to $109 per adult. The festival itself runs November 27 through December 30, as we laid out in our Festival of the Holidays 2026 guide, and the Candlelight Processional performs nightly at 4:45, 6:30 and 8 p.m. at America Gardens Theatre. The show retells the Christmas story with a celebrity narrator, a massed choir, a 50-piece orchestra, herald trumpets and the Voices of Liberty.
Each package includes one guaranteed seat per person to a Candlelight Processional performance the same day, plus a meal. At most restaurants that means an entrée and dessert, or a full buffet where offered, along with a nonalcoholic drink or an alcoholic drink for guests 21 and older. Spice Road Table does it a little differently, with two small plates, a shared tagine, a shared dessert platter and a drink. You pick up your Candlelight seating badges at the restaurant after your meal, then enter America Gardens Theatre through a separate queue. Seating inside the package section is first come, first served.

Prices do not include tax or gratuity, and every reservation needs a credit card guarantee. On the Disney Dining Plan, most packages use one table-service credit, Akershus and Le Cellier use two, and Regal Eagle is not eligible. Regal Eagle is also the last-minute option. It only sells same-day packages, with no reservation needed, so check availability with the restaurant the day of your visit.
Your package date also decides your narrator. Gary Sinise, Neil Patrick Harris, Jodi Benson on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and Lacey Chabert on December 22 and 23 are all on the schedule, with Benjamin Bratt and Josh Groban recently added. Opening weekend, November 27 and 28, is now listed as to be announced. Check the full narrator lineup before you lock in a date.
Our take is that these packages are the easiest way to skip the stress of the standby line, which can fill well before showtime on popular narrator nights. You are paying for a sit-down meal you might have eaten anyway, plus peace of mind. If the price is the only thing holding you back, La Crêperie de Paris and Spice Road Table are among the lowest-priced options for a reserved table, and Regal Eagle is the lowest overall if you can be flexible. Packages for the biggest narrator dates tend to go first, so book soon if you have your heart set on one.
