Tickets are not required for the Epcot Candlelight Processional, the performance is included with theme park admission.
Candlelight Dining Packages were offered but sold out within minutes. These packages include lunch or dinner at an Epcot restaurant and guaranteed admission to the Candlelight Processional performance.
Dining Packages were limited to a handful of restaurants including Garden Grill, Coral Reef, Biergarten, and Rose and Crown.
We do not yet know what time Candlelight Processional will start each evening or if there will be one or two performances.
In the past two performances have been offered each evening.
Pro Tip! I recommend that you arrive at the theater 60-90 minutes prior to the show. There is no guarantee that you will make it into the theater so the earlier you arrive, the better your chances will be of seeing Candlelight.
If two performances of Candlelight Processional are offered, the second show sometimes has a shorter line.

The Epcot Candlelight Processional will return on November 26, 2021 at Epcot
The “Candlelight Processional” will be back this year, Nov. 26 – Dec. 30, as part of the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays!
“Candlelight Processional” is a tradition at Epcot but did you know the event has actually been at Walt Disney World since 1971?
It was initially at Magic Kingdom Park until 1994 when it was moved Epcot.
This Christmas season, Disney will once again grace the America Gardens Theatre with a live orchestra, cast choir, and celebrity narrator retelling the traditional Christmas story in spectacular and heartwarming fashion.
Since all these performers – including cast members, musicians, singers, and narrators – will be required to be fully vaccinated, this year Disney is not planning to host choirs from different community groups and schools.
Instead, to maintain the grandeur of the performance, Disney is expanding the cast member choir to fill the stage with voices.
Disney says it is optimistic that the guest choirs will be able to rejoin “Candlelight Processional” next year.
Disney is still working to confirm the schedule of celebrity narrators and details about “Candlelight Processional Dining Packages,” so stay tuned.
