Now that we have the list of celebrity narrators for the 2026 Candlelight Processional, it’s time to talk about Dining Packages. If there is someone whom you really want to see, I recommend reserving a Dining Package. In the past few years, Disney has reserved much of the America Gardens Theatre for guests with Dining Package vouchers, making it much harder to find a spot in the standby line. I’m not saying that standby isn’t possible, I’ve done it. If you go standby, keep checking the line throughout the day so you’ll know when to join the queue.
A Dining Package will guarantee you a seat in the America Gardens Theatre. It may not be the best seat, but you’ll get in. When you book, make sure that it’s the Dining Package that you make the reservation for. Eating at one of the restaurants with a regular reservation will not get you a voucher. When you’re done with your meal, you and the members of your dining party will receive your vouchers.
The only restaurant that offers a Dining Package that doesn’t take reservations is Regal Eagle Smokehouse. This is hit or miss. From what I understand, there isn’t a set number of vouchers that Regal Eagle receives each day. Instead, they get any that are left over from dining reservations. They could have a decent amount, or they might not have any. If you try Regal Eagle, don’t just wander over in the middle of the day. The early bird gets the worm, so to speak, and the dining vouchers.
Reservations will open for the Candlelight Processional Dining Packages on October 14. Remember, dining reservations can be made 60 days out, so not all dates will be available on October 14. Here are the restaurants, prices, and what is included, from the Walt Disney World website:
