It’s almost the most wonderful time of the year over in EPCOT!
2022 EPCOT Candlelight Processional
Well, any day in EPCOT is a great day in our opinion, but the holidays bring something special to the park — the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays! While this festival is full of great dishes to try from booths all around the world, one of our other favorite parts of the festival is the Candlelight Processional. If you’ve been looking forward to it as much as we have and want to be sure you’ve got the best seat, dining packages are now available to book!

The majority of table service restaurants in EPCOT are participating in this, but to see a full list of all restaurants included, as well as their pricing, and what their Disney Dining Plan credit equivalent is, you’ll want to check out our post below (including recent reviews for each one so you can know which may be best for you and your family).
Everything You Need to Know About Restaurants Included in This Year’s Candlelight Processional Dining Package
Advance Dining Reservations can be made 60 days out starting TODAY, October 14th, 2025, and interested guests may book online, through the My Disney Experience app, or by calling (407) WDW-DINE (it’s recommended to book online or through the app, as the phone line doesn’t open until 7 AM each morning). However, if you’re looking for a dining package last-minute on the same day of your visit, same-day dining packages are available at Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue, but they are subject to availability.

Candlelight Processional Seating
If there’s a narrator you really want to see, and you don’t want to wait in line for regular seating only to find that you may not be able to get a spot if you didn’t get in line early enough (or spend hours waiting in line to ensure you get a seat), then getting a Dinner Package may be the best way to go. At each participating restaurant, you’ll get to experience a sit-down, prix-fixe meal of an entrée and dessert or one full buffet (except for Spice Road Table, where you’ll get 2 small plates, a shared tagine, a shared dessert platter and one nonalcoholic beverage), and then know for a fact you’ll get a seat at one of that night’s three shows.
Candlelight Processional
We strongly suggest booking your dining package sooner rather than later, as you don’t want to rely on booking a same-day package for a narrator you’d really like to see, especially if they’re more well-known and sought after. However, if you’d like to try your chances and don’t mind waiting in line for general seating, that is completely free and is included with the price of your EPCOT admission.

I tried for 30 min this morning starting at 5:45. The website hadn’t been updated to show the packages as of 6:30. I got back in at 7, but by then it acted like ALL of the packages for all dates and restaurants were already gone. Something seems not right about this. Is it actually working? Did anyone get a reservation?
So either I’m doing something wrong, or the entire event is sold out, but I tried to book for a Candlelight dinner package for over 2 weeks worth of days one slice at a time and they all said not available. Wow!
My husband couldn’t book a table for 2 anywhere, but was able to book for 3 people. Anyone else have that problem?
I couldn’t get a reservation for 2 all morning – nothing was available for all restaurants, every day, even Coral Reef which seemed strange. I changed to 3 & found lots of available reservations. Seems like there was a glitch for reservations for 2.
I was up at 5 CST to book, and I tried repeatedly until strangely enough, Le Cellier popped up at 5:25. There is something not right with their system, especially if you have to put 3 guests in your request to get a table. Good to know for next year, though. After I booked, nothing else was available for the two nights I was able to attend.
