EPCOT is set to host its International Festival of the Holidays from November 27 through December 30, 2026, featuring the popular Candlelight Processional. Visitors can secure guaranteed seating for narrated performances by booking a Dining Package that includes a meal and show access on the same day. Reservations for these packages become available starting October 14, 2026. Pricing varies by location, with some venues like Teppan Edo and Shiki-Sai in the Japan Pavilion seeing price reductions from the previous year. Other locations, such as Regal Eagle Smokehouse and Biergarten, have increased their prices. Guests receive a meal and beverage options, with specific inclusions for different age groups. Popular narrators often sell out quickly, especially at Regal Eagle which operates on a same-day basis. Planning ahead is essential for those wishing to experience this festive event at EPCOT.
