Tips for Making Epcot Candlelight Processional Dining Packages

Guide to making reservations for the Epcot Candlelight Dining Package

At Epcot’s Candlelight Processional, guests can experience celebrity narrators, the Voices of Liberty acapella ensemble, a 50-piece live orchestra and glorious massed choirs as they present a retelling of the traditional Christmas story.

 
Tips for Reserving Candlelight Processional Dining Packages
 

A Candlelight Processional Dining Package includes lunch or dinner at a participating Epcot restaurant and guaranteed admission to the show.

Is a dining package required to see Candlelight Processional? Nope! Standby guests who line up early will almost certainly get into the show.

For the dining package, you can choose from several restaurants at EPCOT that offer Candlelight Processional Dining Packages. Each package includes:

  • An appetizer, entrée and dessert or one (1) full buffet (where applicable), along with a non-alcoholic beverage

  • One (1) guaranteed seat per person to a Candlelight Processional performance held on the same day

The reservation time you select determines which performance you’ll go to. There are at least 2 performances each night. 

Tips for Getting a Candlelight Dining Package


Dining reservations are extremely difficult to secure at Walt Disney World and Candlelight Processional Dining Packages are no different. They sell out within within minutes going on sale.

While there’s a lot of luck involved here are a few things you can do help increase your chances.

1

First, make a park reservation for Epcot on the day you want to make the Candlelight Dining Package reservation, or at least make sure reservations are available.

If you have a Park Hopper ticket, you can begin park hopping at 2 pm (subject to availability).

2

Link a credit card to your My Disney Experience account, under the My Profile section. This way you can speed through the checkout process by not having to spend time entering your credit card information. A credit card hold is required to make the reservation.

Also, keep a credit card handy just in case. Sometimes the system doesn’t see that you have a card on file and makes you enter it again.


3

Know the date, time and restaurant you want in advance. For a list of participating restaurants, see my Candlelight Processional article here. It’s also a good idea to have a backup option, but you’ll need to work fast if your first choice isn’t available.


4

Log into your My Disney Experience account at least 5 minutes before the packages go on sale. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the dining reservation system.


5

If someone in your party has their own My Disney Experience account, they can also try for a reservation as well.

NOTE: You cannot have multiple people signed into the same My Disney Experience account at the same time.

The system will automatically log the other person out when it detects a new log in.

You may not realize you have been logged out until it’s time to check out and the system asks you to log in again. At this point you’ll likely lose your time slot to someone else.


6

Locate the Candlelight Processional Dining Package from the list of restaurants. It has a seperate listing, do not look up the restaurant by name - look up the “Candlelight Processional Dining Package” instead.

You can also search for these packages using the search tool on the app and website to find them faster.


7

When the site unlocks at 6 am ET, you’ll need to move fast. Enter the date, restaurant, party size and time. Do not spend time choosing the people in your party in the drop down menu.

Disney just needs to have the headcount. You can go back and fill in names later if you want, once your reservation is confirmed.

Tips if you Don’t Get a Candlelight Dining Package

Go standby! People will begin queuing up about 60 minutes prior to each show. At Disney, waiting 60 minutes for an attraction is no big deal, right?

Odds are very good you’ll get into the show.

If there is a popular narrator, like the voice of Olaf, Josh Gad, I recommend checking out the line situation starting 2-3 hours prior to the show.

This will give you an idea of when you should get in line for the second show. 

Ask a Cast Member at the American Gardens Theater what time they recommend you get in the standby line.

Cast Members work the show every night and have a good idea of when people have been forming a line. They will happy to help you.

Regal Eagle Smokehouse Epcot

Book a same-day dining package. Same-day Candlelight Processional Dining Packages have returned to Regal Eagle Smokehouse and Spice Road Table. Regal Eagle is a terrific value because it’s cheaper, and you get the exact same ticket as those paying a lot more for lunch and dinner.

Last year I had such great luck with same-day dining reservations that I’m planning on doing it again this year.

My tip: get to Regal Eagle at 11:30 am, the restaurant opens at 11:45 am.

Last year there were plenty of same-day dining packages available when I checked.

The regular cashiers at Regal Eagle sell the package, there’s no special area to purchase them.

If you don’t want to wait in standby or do a dining package, you can stand on the World Showcase promenade and watch the show from there.

You just can’t stand in the main walkway.

You’ll actually have a very good view of the stage, but of course, you should arrive early.

Epcot Candlelight Processional Celebrity Narrators and Dates 2022

EPCOT ‘Candlelight Processional’ Celebrity Narrators and Dining Packages

Candlelight Processional at Epcot is a time-honored tradition that has been a part of the holiday season at Walt Disney World since 1971.

Candlelight Processional Epcot

Candlelight Dining Packages will be available again this year and same-day dining packages are returning as well.

At Epcot’s Candlelight Processional, guests can experience the celebrity narrators, the Voices of Liberty acapella ensemble, a 50-piece live orchestra and glorious massed choirs as they present a retelling of the traditional Christmas story.

Here’s your first look at the 2022 Candlelight Processional narrators.

  • 11/25 – 11/26: TBD

  • 11/27 – 11/29: Edward James Olmos

  • 11/30 – 12/1: Raul Esparza (NEW)

  • 12/2 – 12/3: Whoopi Goldberg

  • 12/4 – 12/6: Isabella Rossellini

  • 12/7 – 12/9: TBD

  • 12/10 – 12/12: Josh Gad (NEW)

  • 12/24 – 12/26: Marie Osmond

  • 12/27 – 12/28: Courtney Vance

  • 12/29 – 12/30: Angela Bassett


I highly recommend that you book a “Candlelight Processional Dining Package” if you’re planning on seeing the show. 

Packages go on sale Oct. 6, 2022, starting at 6 a.m. ET on disneyworld.com or in your Disney World mobile app.

If you don’t have a Candlelight Processional Dining Package, you’ll need to queue up about 2 hours prior to the show, but there is no guarantee that you will get a seat in the show.

Guide to Epcot Candlelight Processional Dining Package

You can choose from several unique eateries at EPCOT offering Candlelight Processional Dining Packages. Each package includes:

  • An appetizer, entrée and dessert or one (1) full buffet (where applicable), along with a non-alcoholic beverage

  • One (1) guaranteed seat per person to a Candlelight Processional performance held on the same day

List of participating restaurants and dining package prices, which exclude tax and gratuity (adult / child prices are provided):

Biergarten Restaurant
Germany Pavilion $65.00 / $37.00

Coral Reef Restaurant
The Living Seas $74.00 / $30.00

Garden Grill Restaurant
The Land Pavilion $71.00 / $46.00

Le Cellier Steakhouse
Canada Pavilion $100.00 / $39.00

Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue
(same-day dining packages only)
American Adventure Pavilion $40.00

Rose & Crown Dining Room
United Kingdom Pavilion $64.00 / $28.00

Spice Road Table
(same-day dining packages only)
Morocco Pavilion $52.00 / $23.00

The same-day dining package at Regal Eagle is a terrific value but it can be a roll of the dice with availability. Packages are subject to availability and may not be available on peak dates.

Last year I was able to get a same-day ticket by visiting Regal Eagle as soon as they opened, typically 11:45 a.m.

I anticipate high demand for Josh Gad and Neil Patric Harris performances.

Finally, Disney World has launched a new website, EPCOTholidays.com. Visit this site for current information about holiday events at Epcot plus links to other holiday events throughout Walt Disney World Resort.

Insider Guide to Chill Island at Perfect Day at CocoCay

If your ideal beach day involves a quiet stretch of powdery shoreline, tranquil waters and plenty of rest and relaxation, you’ve come to the right place. Perfect Day at Coco Cay is Royal Caribbean’s private island in the Bahamas.

If you want to slow down, work on your tan and spend some time recharging, there’s Chill Island. Perfect for both couples and families, this area of Perfect Day at CocoCay is the best place to relax and soak up the island vibes.

cococay chill island - royal caribbean

Here’s everything you need to know before you go.

Plenty of Shade

There’s no need to worry about getting ashore early to claim a beach chair and umbrella on Chill Island.

This part of Perfect Day at CocoCay has an abundance of loungers and umbrellas along its shores, and they’re all complimentary.

One of the best things to do at Chill Island if you’re visiting with a group of friends or your extended family — or if you want to upgrade your romantic getaway — is to reserve one of the Chill Island cabanas.

Each cabana accommodates up to eight guests and comes with attendant service.

Reserving a cabana on Chill Island is a great option for families who want an added level of comfort, or couples looking to elevate their day of relaxation.

Just remember they are subject to availability.

You Have the Option to Play

True to its name, Chill Island is really all about the chill factor — but that doesn’t mean you won’t have the option to break up all that shoreside lounging with a bit of action.

There’s a shack nearby where you can rent snorkel equipment to check out some of the vibrant coral reefs located just offshore.

Keep an eye out for the friendly manta rays that call the island home — they’re not shy and don’t mind swimming up close to snorkelers.

There’s also a dock in this area where you can join a jet ski tour of the island.

You can book water activities ahead of your cruise on Cruise Planner, onboard the cruise ship before you arrive at Perfect Day at CocoCay, or on the island during your time ashore.

Just remember that equipment and spots on the tours are subject to availability, so it’s usually recommended to book ahead.

If you’ve already booked your cruise and you’re ready to start planning your itinerary for Perfect Day at CocoCay check out Cruise Planner now.



Two Side - Two Vibes

Compared to most of the other areas on Perfect Day at CocoCay, Chill Island is definitely the most tranquil spot around.

But the north end is the calmer and more secluded side, and a preferred pick among couples.

The south end has more activity, since that’s where you’ll find the Snorkel Shack and the dock for jet ski rentals and tours.

Lunch and Lounge

One of the best things at Chill Island is that you don’t really have to leave the area for anything if you don’t want to.

Chill Island boasts the largest restaurant on Perfect Day at CocoCay, Chill Grill, serving a wide range of delicious options tailored to any kind of diet or preference.

You’ll find crisp salads, tasty sandwiches, build-your-own tacos, fresh fruit, and grilled favorites like BBQ chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs and more.

For dessert, there’s soft-serve ice cream, cookies and brownies.

The food is free at Chill Island so make sure you save room for seconds.

There’s also a towel station nearby, in case you forgot to grab one on your way off the cruise ship.

On either end of the beach you’ll find the Wacky Seagull and Wacky Seagull Jr. bars, both serving adult beverages.

And just offshore, the fan-favorite Floating Bar is easy to spot.

All you have to do is swim out to the gently-bobbing tiki hut to enjoy your Coco Loco with a side of sea views.

Beverage packages purchased on the cruise ship or via Cruise Planner app on Perfect Day at CocoCay, so all you need to bring is your SeaPass card.

No matter how chill you want to go while visiting Perfect Day at CocoCay, Chill Island is the ultimate go-to spot for laid-back beach vibes.

3 Insider Tips for Thrill Water Park at Perfect Day at CocoCay

Headed to Thrill Waterpark at Perfect Day at CocoCay? Here’s your guide to getting in on all the action.

Perfect Day at CocoCay, Royal Caribbean’s private island in the Bahamas, is one of the cruise line’s highest rated destinations.

While Perfect Day at CocoCay is included in your cruise, Thrill Water Park requires a separate ticket. It can be purchased prior to your cruise in the Royal Caribbean app or even onboard the ship.

But before you dive headfirst into all the slides and rides that await in Thrill Island island, there are a few things you’ll want to know first.

Thrill Water Park at Perfect Day at CocoCay

Take advantage of complimentary lockers

When you visit Thrill Waterpark at Perfect Day at CocoCay, you don’t need to worry about keeping track of your belongings while taking advantage of all the slides and rides.

The waterpark offers complimentary lockers where you can store your valuables — just keep in mind they are subject to availability, so it’s best to arrive early in order to make sure you get one.

See my Top Things to Do at Perfect Day at CocoCay

Rent a Cabana

If you really want to upgrade your experience you can reserve a private cabana inside the waterpark.

Cabanas at Thrill Waterpark come with attendant service and include access to all the park’s attractions and experiences for up to six guests, which means you don’t have to purchase admission.

Thrill Water Park at Royal Caribbean's CocoCay

If you’ve purchased admission to Thrill Waterpark or reserved a cabana there, you’ll receive a wristband as soon as you get to the park’s entrance.

You can come and go as much as you like throughout the day, just make sure you keep the wristband on — you’ll need to show it every time you reenter the waterpark.

Take advantage of free food!

Thrill Waterpark also has a Snack Shack right onsite.

It’s the closest and most convenient spot to hit if you start to work up an appetite, and the food is really delicious. Did I mention it’s free?

The menu includes lots of options to suit all kinds of diets and preferences, including crisp leafy salads, fresh fruit, sandwiches and finger foods like mozzarella sticks and golden fries — not to mention the legendary Shack Burger.

Just make sure you save room for dessert. The soft-serve ice cream, fresh-baked cookies and gooey brownies are worth the extra calories.

Insider Tips to Oasis Lagoon Pool at Perfect Day at CocoCay

Everything you need to know before taking a dip in the Caribbean’s largest freshwater pool.

Perfect Day at CocoCay, the newly reimagined destination by Royal Caribbean, has made headlines with its record-breaking attractions.

But one of the coolest features you can look forward to on this exclusive private island in The Bahamas is Oasis Lagoon.

The largest freshwater pool in the Caribbean, it has everything you need to unwind and savor the island vibes, Coco Loco in hand. Here’s what you need to know.

oasis lagoon pool - royal caribbean - perfect day at coco cay


Lounge All Day

Oasis Lagoon at Perfect Day at CocoCay is the ‘largest freshwater pool in the Caribbean’ — and it truly is massive.

This larger-than-life hangout encompasses three swim-up islands that are perfect for kicking back and soaking up the sun, and multiple coves that each offer a different kind of vibe — not to mention plenty of in-water seating and tables.

Partially-submerged loungers also line the entire perimeter of the pool — prime real estate if you want to work on your tan without having to leave the cool comfort of the water. You always have the option to upgrade to total privacy and exclusivity in your own cabana, that come with concierge service.

Visiting Oasis Lagoon with kids?

No problem. Oasis Lagoon is totally family-friendly — there’s a cove with a sloping entry designed just for little swimmers plus lots of space to splash around, and the deepest part of the pool measures just four-and-a-half feet.

Island Vibes All Day

While it definitely offers plenty of secluded areas for those who just want to relax and disconnect, Oasis Lagoon is also the perfect spot if you’re looking for a good party with a DJ keeps the beats coming strong all afternoon.

The swim-up bar is hands-down one of the best things to do at Oasis Lagoon — it’s where you’ll find most of the action, and with 23 in-water seats, you don’t even need to leave the pool to grab an ice-cold beer or your favorite tropical drink.


See my Top Tings to do at Perfect Day at CocoCay

Cool and Complimentary

Access to Oasis Lagoon is completely free for guests visiting Perfect Day at CocoCay, and all the chairs and umbrellas that surround the area are also free as well.

There’s a complimentary towel station nearby, too, so you don’t have to worry if you forgot to grab a towel on your way off the ship — just make sure you return it before you board again.

The only thing you need to pay for at Oasis Lagoon are the cabanas (should you choose to reserve one) and the alcoholic drinks, but if you’ve already purchased a beverage package for your cruise, you can also use it on the island.

Dig Into Delicious

One of the great things about Oasis Lagoon is that you don’t need to wander far to grab a bite if you start to work up an appetite.

A nearby Snack Shack makes for the perfect pit stop to refuel on beach day favorites before diving back into the Caribbean’s largest freshwater pool.

Open from 11 a.m. until 45 minutes before boarding time, the Snack Shack serves up complimentary hot dogs, crisp salads, fresh fruit and all kinds of other options to suit different tastes and diets.

If you’re a meat lover, don’t miss the signature Shack Burger, made with a special top-secret Shack sauce you won’t find anywhere outside of Perfect Day at CocoCay.

Just make sure you save some room for a sweet treat after your meal — the Snack Shack offers some of the best homemade cookies and brownies on the island.
