As in past years, Candlelight Processional Dining Packages will be available again for an additional cost starting at $41.00 per adult. The package guarantees each person who purchased the Dining Package a seat at the processional. Visit the Walt Disney World website for dates and reservations.

As a reminder, theme park admission to EPCOT is required in order to attend the Walt Disney World Candlelight Processional. If you are looking for a short walk to the American Gardens Theatre, I suggest parking at Hollywood Studios and taking the Skyliner to EPCOT which drops guests off at the International Gateway which is a lot closer to the theatre than parking in the EPCOT parking lot.
