Epcot's Candlelight Processional is an annual tradition which embraces and celebrations the holiday spirit with traditional Christmas music and celebrity narration, and if you'd like, food! The absolute best (and easiest) way to ensure a good seat for whichever Candlelight Processional date you choose, is to partake in the Candlelight Processional Dining Package.
This dining package is actually available for lunch or dinner, and starts at $38 per adult for lunch and $52 per adult for dinner, and go up, depending on the restaurant you choose. The package allows you to choose an appetizer, entree, dessert, and non-alcoholic, non-specialty beverage from regular menu at the restaurant, or 1 full buffet where applicable. Prices do not include tax and gratuity, or park admission.
Guests who have purchased the Disney Dining Plan are able to pay for the packages with credits as follows: Standard Disney Dining Plan and Deluxe Disney Dining Plan – 2 table service credits per person for any meal/restaurant, Premium Disney Dining Plan and Platinum Disney Dining Plan – 1 table service credit per person for any meal/restaurant.
If you are not using the Disney Dining Plan to pay, the package prices vary based on lunch or dinner and which restaurant you select from the available dates. The 2015 participating restaurants and pricing are listed below and are now available to book (with thanks to the DisneyFoodBlog.com for the info):
