Overview
- Bookings for Candlelight Processional dining packages opened Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2026, letting guests reserve a same‑day meal plus a guaranteed seat at one of the three nightly shows.
- Each package includes a meal (entrée and dessert or buffet in most restaurants), a beverage, and a seating badge issued after dining that admits holders through a separate queue at America Gardens Theatre.
- Showtimes have shifted earlier to 4:45 p.m., 6:30 p.m., and 8:00 p.m. to match EPCOT’s 9:00 p.m. park close, so guests must plan dinner and arrival times carefully to secure good seats inside the reserved section.
- Sixteen EPCOT table‑service restaurants participate with adult prices ranging from $43 at Regal Eagle (same‑day only) to $109 at Le Cellier, and some restaurants count as two Disney Dining Plan table‑service credits while Regal Eagle is not Dining Plan‑eligible.
- Disney updated the narrator lineup with Benjamin Bratt and Josh Groban among five first‑time narrators and left a couple of opening dates listed as to be announced, and early booking congestion and website delays have pushed guests to search individual restaurants or try same‑day Regal Eagle availability.
