Every year, the Candlelight Processional takes place in Epcot, where rich sounds of a full orchestra and choir fill the America Gardens Theatre, including a special guest narrator. Listen along while the story of the babe in a manger touches your heart as it has for generations—accompanied by warm and inspiring holiday music.
The Candlelight Processional returns for 2015, and will be available in Epcot from November 25 – December 30, 2016.
The processional is performed three times per night (5:00, 6:45 and 8:15 p.m.) during the holiday season at the American Gardens Theatre. These packages, available on select nights, include a delicious meal and a guaranteed seat for one of the Candlelight Processional performances. Availability is limited.
While admission to the Candlelight Processional is free, long lines do form, and admission is not guaranteed. One great way to get guaranteed admission, and a great seat, is the Candlelight Processional Dining Packages, which are now available to book.
This year, in addition to lunch and dinner packages, breakfast options are available at some favorite Epcot restaurants like Akershus Royal Banquet Hall and Garden Grill. Breakfast, lunch and dinner options are also available this year at Captain’s Grille at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, with breakfast and dinner options being offered at Trattoria Al Forno at Disney’s BoardWalk.
Candlelight Dining Packages for breakfast start at $27 plus tax per person for adults and $14 plus tax per person for children, ages 3-9. Candlelight Dining Packages for lunch and dinner start at $47 plus tax per person for adults and $20 plus tax per person for children, ages 3-9.
Please note, you must book a Candlelight Processional Package at these restaurants in order to get the fixed price and Candlelight Processional tickets, if you book just a regular dining reservation, you will not receive these additions.
