Booking opens October 14th, and the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays runs November 27th through December 30th. Here’s everything you need to know!
2026 Candlelight Processional Dining Package Prices and Restaurants
IN THIS ARTICLE:
- Full pricing for every restaurant offering a Candlelight Processional Dining Package
- What’s included with the meal at most restaurants versus at Spice Road Table
- The complete 2026 celebrity narrator schedule, including three first-time narrators
Candlelight Processional Dining Package | What’s Included
A Candlelight Processional Dining Package includes one guaranteed seat per person to a same-day show. At most participating restaurants, the meal itself is an entree and dessert, or a full buffet where the restaurant offers one. The package also includes a nonalcoholic drink, or an alcoholic drink for guests 21 and older.
Spice Road Table works a little differently. The Morocco Pavilion restaurant’s package swaps the standard entree and dessert format for two small plates, a shared tagine, and a shared dessert platter, along with the same drink option. Guests receive their Candlelight Processional seating badge at the restaurant after the meal. That badge specifies the date and showtime reserved. Dining package prices exclude tax and gratuity.
Candlelight Processional Dining Package | Pricing by Restaurant
Here’s the full list of restaurants participating in 2026. Pricing below covers both adult and child rates, along with each restaurant’s Disney Dining Plan credit value.

| Biergarten Restaurant | Germany Pavilion | $75 | $40 | 1 Table-Service Meal |
| Chefs de France | France Pavilion | $89 | $37 | 1 Table-Service Meal |
| Coral Reef Restaurant | The Living Seas | $82 | $34 | 1 Table-Service Meal |
| Garden Grill Restaurant | The Land Pavilion | $73 (breakfast) / $86 (lunch or dinner) | $46 (breakfast) / $55 (lunch or dinner) | 1 Table-Service Meal |

Le Cellier Steakhouse carries the highest adult price on the list at $109. It’s also one of only two restaurants, alongside Akershus Royal Banquet Hall, that counts as two table-service credits on the Disney Dining Plan instead of one. Regal Eagle Smokehouse sits at the opposite end. Its $43 adult price is the lowest on the list, and it carries no Dining Plan eligibility at all.
Candlelight Processional Dining Package | Same-Day Option
Guests planning a last-minute visit can look for a same-day dining package at Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue. The same-day package skips the need to make a reservation entirely. Guests can walk up and dine at the American Adventure Pavilion counter-service spot that day while still locking in a guaranteed seat to a Candlelight Processional show that evening.
Same-day dining availability may be low or non-existent. It’s mostly used as a backfill option, with many dates for the most popular narrators nearly impossible to secure at Regal Eagle. If you really want to see a specific narrator, your best bet is to make an advance dining reservation at a table service restaurant.

Disney has not yet announced narrators for two performance windows, December 2nd and 3rd and December 13th and 14th. Candlelight Processional runs three times nightly at America Gardens Theatre, with showtimes at 4:45pm, 6:30pm, and 8:00pm. Seating without a dining package is first come, first served.
Candlelight Processional Dining Package | Booking and Other Details
Candlelight Processional Dining Package reservations open October 14th. Disney recommends booking as early as possible, since packages are subject to availability and may not be offered on every date. Reservations require a credit card guarantee. Restaurants only serve alcohol to guests 21 and older with valid identification.
Guests booking a dining package enter America Gardens Theatre through a separate queue from general seating, and the package guarantees them a spot. Seating within that reserved section still runs first come, first served. Guests need valid theme park admission to enter EPCOT for the show, and some dates may also require a theme park reservation.
