Walt Disney World has posted prices for the 2026 Candlelight Dining Packages, and the range runs from $43 per adult at Regal Eagle Smokehouse to $109 at Le Cellier Steakhouse. Booking opens October 14, ahead of a festival that runs November 27 through December 30.
Seventeen locations are taking part this year. Sixteen are table service restaurants that accept advance reservations, and the seventeenth, Regal Eagle Smokehouse at The American Adventure pavilion, is a same-day walk-up option only.
What The Package Includes
Every package covers one guaranteed seat per person at a same-day performance of the Candlelight Processional, plus a meal. At most restaurants the meal is an entree and a dessert, or the full buffet where one is offered, along with a nonalcoholic drink or an alcoholic drink for guests 21 and older.
Spice Road Table in the Morocco pavilion is the exception. Its package swaps the entree and dessert format for two small plates, a shared tagine and a shared dessert platter. Guests at every location receive a seating badge after the meal that names the date and showtime reserved. Prices do not include tax or gratuity, and park admission is separate.

Le Cellier is the priciest seat in the house at $109, and it is one of only two restaurants on the list, along with Akershus, that costs two table service credits rather than one on the Disney Dining Plan. Regal Eagle sits at the other end at $43 and is not eligible for the dining plan at all.
Coral Reef’s place on the list is worth a note, since the restaurant is reopening on November 4 after its refurbishment, three weeks before the festival begins.
The Same Day Option, And Its Catch
The Regal Eagle package skips reservations entirely. Guests walk up, eat at the counter service barbecue spot and still get a guaranteed seat for that evening. The catch is supply. Same-day availability is often low or nonexistent, and the most popular narrator dates are close to impossible to secure that way. Anyone with a specific narrator in mind is better off booking a table service package in advance.
Booking And Show Details
Reservations open October 14 and require a credit card guarantee. Packages are subject to availability and may not be offered on every date. Package holders enter America Gardens Theatre through a separate queue, though seating inside the reserved section is still first come, first served.
The Candlelight Processional runs nightly at 4:45 p.m., 6:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. through the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays presented by AdventHealth. This is the show’s 55th year at Walt Disney World and its 32nd at EPCOT, and the narrator lineup announced September 8 brings in Robin Roberts, Jason Kelce and Lacey Chabert as first-timers alongside returning readers including Auli’i Cravalho, Whoopi Goldberg and Neil Patrick Harris. Two date blocks, December 2 and 3 and December 13 and 14, are still waiting on names. The dates match the holiday season calendar Disney published earlier this year, and the same $43 to $109 spread holds across all 17 locations.
