Every year, Walt Disney World has a Candlelight Processional at Epcot. This processional includes a musical performance with a mass choir and a 50-piece live orchestra accompanied by a celebrity narrator who retells the story of Christmas. Performances are held at the America Gardens Theatre and take place every evening at 5:00pm, 6:45pm and 8:15pm.
While admission is free with your Epcot admission price, it isn’t always available. The only way to guarantee a seat for this performance is by purchasing a Candlelight Processional Dining Package. This allows you to have a meal at one of Epcot’s restaurants while guaranteeing a seat for the show. Sometimes, this is the only way to get a seat for the processional. Those who have purchased Dinner Packages are the first to be seated for the processional. Those who don’t buy a Dinner Package are seated on a space available basis only.
To book the Candlelight Processional Dining Package you can call 407-WDW-DINE (407-939-3463).
