Candlelight Processional Dining Package Prices Announced for 2024 Festival of the Holidays. The story out of Walt Disney World today is the price hikes we are seeing across the board. From Walt Disney Annual Passes to Food & Beverages and Dining, to Disney World Tickets. It is almost like clockwork, you always know in October there will be a price increase at Disney. This is no different than when new Epcot Festivals release the dining packages. Like today when Disney released the Candlelight Processional Dining Package prices.
Most of the price hikes are around $5.00, except for a few that went up by a whopping $24.00. I dunno, I have nothing to add to this. It is what it is, and it is wonderful to experience these events this way.
You can read all about the 2024 Holidays at Walt Disney World Here, including a list of where to find Santa Claus around the parks. Also, a full breakdown of everything coming to Festival of the Holidays at Epcot for 2024.
What makes this a little frustrating is Disney just raised the prices for the Eat to the Beat Concert Series that is happening now at Epcot, and then in a month’s time they will raise them again for the Festival of the Holidays. So, it gets a little frustrating writing how this happens every year around this time, and then realizing it is happening every 4 months to the dining packages at Epcot.
A Holiday Feast for the Senses
Candlelight Processional is an awe-inspiring retelling of the Christmas story, featuring a celebrity narrator, 50-piece orchestra, and glorious massed choir—but this popular show tends to fill up quickly.
