Epcot’s Candlelight Processional

Went last December. It was one of the highlights of our trip. Did the dining package and were in the front row of the second level. Couldn’t have asked for better seats. Will do it again when the kiddos get older!
I don’t see any availability for any of the Epcot days for my upcoming December trip. I called dining reservations and they said they hadn’t been released yet, fyi.
I have tried to book, but also told not available yet
David — Wonderful news!!
Seth and Kim — We’ve been told it’s “intermittently” available, which means some people have been able to make reservations randomly — probably while Disney is making updates to their website. It will likely be officially announced and available soon. Use this opportunity for planning 😀
When do the announce the narrators? How does one know which date to book until you know who will be reading?
Has anyone else noticed that the dining package prices are the exact same as last year? I think Disney has inadvertently listed the 2014 prices. It also mentions “*Biergarten will have Dinner Pricing, Thursday, December 25th”, but for 2015 December 25th is on a Friday.
As of 25 June 0700, they have not opened up reservations yet. From Disney.
I called Disney Dining this morning to make all my dining reservations for my upcoming Christmas trip, 12/24-12/31/15. The woman I spoke with told me that dining reservations have not yet been released for the Candlelight Processional, so I wasn’t able to book my Christmas Day reservations with her by phone. However, after i hung up and found on your site that they are “intermittently available,” I went online and was able to book exactly the reservation I want – Chefs de France at 4pm on Christmas Day, for the 6:45pm Candlelight Processional show. Definitely worth a try and thanks for mentioning the intermittent availability on your blog. It worked for me! (I wonder if it worked because I had already made all my Christmas week reservations, so all my info was in the system already? Not sure why it worked, but it did.)
Disney said it was a glitch in their system, that they have since fixed. Booooooooo.
I have been checking everyday and today I was able to book mine. So excited first time in Disney during the holidays.
I had a similar experience today. I received notice from my travel agent that booking was open today. I was able to make my reservation online but when I called, they said it was not open yet and they were aware some people were able to place reservations online.
Does anyone know if the CLP includes a reserved area for Illuminations viewing aswell? Some sites are saying it does but they are dated 2014. Not seen anything for 2015 nor seen anything on the disney site about it. Can anyone clarify please?
I thought for sure 7/1 would be the day, but I’ve still not been able to make a reservation online! Anyone have any updated info?
Sara — Many of our readers have been able to make reservations online at this point. Again, it’s still intermittent. We’ll be looking for updated information soon!
Just FYI’n… From what I’ve heard, Candlelight Processional opened for rezzies on Tuesday, July 9, 2013 and Tuesday July 8, 2014.
That makes this Tuesday, July 7, 2015 an interesting day.
Craig Wiseman you’re right.
It is open from today, the reserve for Candlelight Processional 2015.
Go to the Disney site.
Tks,
It let me book the candlelight processional dining this morning! Can’t wait to experience it again, it truly is a unique experience
Reservations are open as of this morning (July 7)
Thanks, Vanessa! 😀 Yes — we just published a post with the Narrators as well.
Got our tickets! And with NPH narrating! So excited!
Indeed. The website was pretty useless, but calling in got us the reservations we wanted.
