EPCOT Candlelight Processional Dining Package - La Crêperie de Paris

The Experience

The EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays Candlelight Processional Dining Package at La Crêperie de Paris combines a meal in the France Pavilion with guaranteed reserved seating for the Candlelight Processional at the America Gardens Theatre. The Candlelight Processional is one of Disney’s most beloved holiday events — a live performance featuring a mass choir, a full orchestra, and a celebrity narrator delivering a retelling of the Christmas story across multiple performances each evening of the festival season.

What’s Included

The dining package at La Crêperie de Paris includes:

• A prix fixe meal at La Crêperie de Paris, featuring savory galettes and sweet crêpes for each guest in the party
• Reserved seating for one Candlelight Processional performance on the same day as your dining reservation — seats are guaranteed through the dining package, bypassing the standby queue that regularly exceeds one hour on high-demand narrator evenings
• Beverages (non-alcoholic) included with the meal; alcoholic drinks including hard ciders and French wines are available for an additional charge
• The full La Crêperie de Paris setting: a warmly lit Parisian-style creperie within the France Pavilion, evoking a neighborhood restaurant in the heart of Paris

Package inclusions and pricing vary by year. Check the Disney website at time of booking for the current festival season’s structure.

La Crêperie de Paris

La Crêperie de Paris opened in 2021 as part of an expansion of EPCOT’s France Pavilion, bringing a full-service creperie to World Showcase. The restaurant specializes in authentic Breton galettes — buckwheat crepes filled with savory combinations of ham, cheese, eggs, smoked salmon, and seasonal ingredients — alongside traditional sweet crêpes finished with butter, sugar, lemon, Nutella, and other classic preparations. The menu reflects a genuine Breton culinary tradition; buckwheat galettes originated in Brittany and remain a staple of French street food culture.

The interior is designed to feel like a neighborhood creperie in Paris: warm wood tones, intimate tables, and the open kitchen view of galettes and crêpes being made to order on traditional griddles. During the Festival of the Holidays, the France Pavilion is decorated with seasonal illuminations that add to the Parisian atmosphere.

The Candlelight Processional

The Candlelight Processional runs multiple times nightly throughout the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays season. A rotating cast of celebrity narrators — drawn from film, television, and music — performs across the season, with different narrators appearing on different dates. High-demand narrator nights see standby queues that fill and close well before show time. The dining package guarantees reserved seats for your selected performance regardless of narrator demand, making it one of the most practical ways to secure the experience on any night of the season.

Booking Notes

• Available during the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays season only (typically mid-November through late December)
• Celebrity narrator assignments are typically published before the booking window opens; high-demand narrator dates fill fastest
• Reserved seating is within a designated section at the America Gardens Theatre; early arrival is recommended to choose from available seats within that section
• Pricing is per-person at the $$$ tier; consult Disney’s website for current rates

Dining Plan Information

The Candlelight Processional Dining Package at La Crêperie de Paris is not redeemable with the Walt Disney World Dining Plan. This is a separately priced event package paid entirely out of pocket. At the $$$ price tier, the package reflects both the prix fixe meal and the guaranteed Candlelight Processional seating. Check the Disney website for current festival season pricing.

About EPCOT Candlelight Processional Dining Package - La Crêperie de Paris

La Crêperie de Paris represents one of the more distinctive options within the Candlelight Processional dining package lineup. While many of the participating restaurants are established World Showcase institutions, La Crêperie brings a more casual, convivial energy to the package — the creperie format encourages lingering over shared plates, and the France Pavilion setting is among the most elegantly decorated in World Showcase during the Festival of the Holidays.

The Candlelight Processional itself has been a fixture of EPCOT’s holiday programming for decades, drawing guests who return year after year to experience the combination of live music, choral performance, and the intimate storytelling of the Christmas narrative by a new celebrity voice each season. For many families, it is the defining holiday tradition of their Walt Disney World visits.

Pairing that tradition with dinner at La Crêperie de Paris creates a distinctly French-flavored holiday evening: buckwheat galettes and sweet crêpes in the warmth of the France Pavilion, followed by a candlelit performance under the stars at the America Gardens Theatre waterfront stage. The dining package is the most reliable way to make that combination happen without uncertainty, and for guests visiting on a high-demand narrator night, the reserved seating is essentially indispensable.
