Candlelight Tips:
- The dining package is easily the best way to ensure that you get a spot for the show. However, you aren’t assigned a seat, you just get priority access into the America Gardens Theatre. That said, you should still arrive to the theater early to get a better seat.
- If you don’t get a dining package or a seat, the show takes up the entire stage and is largely a concert with beautiful (and loud!) musical performances and the narration. Many enjoy just from watching along the World Showcase Promenade or even listening from the tables near the Regal Eagle Smokehouse.
- And lastly, even though you’re in Florida it can still cool down during this time of year, and the America Gardens Theater is covered but still outside. Wear layers, as the evening might feature a cool breeze or even the very cold temp drops for Florida, bringing the outdoor theater to a crisp 45-50 degrees fahrenheit - which is cold for Florida!
