    When will candlelight processional narrators and dinner packages be released?

    Hi Stephanie!

    The holidays at the Walt Disney World Resort are truly magical, and there’s so much to look forward to! From early November through early January, the parks transform into a winter wonderland filled with festive décor, special entertainment, and yummy holiday treats.

    One of the most anticipated holiday events is the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, where you can celebrate seasonal traditions from around the globe. As you stroll through World Showcase, you’ll enjoy unique performances, delicious food from Holiday Kitchens, and the heartwarming Candlelight Processional.

    Speaking of the Candlelight Processional, it’s a highlight of the season at EPCOT. Each night, a celebrity narrator tells the Christmas story accompanied by a full choir and orchestra. The lineup of narrators and the Candlelight Processional dining packages, which pair a meal with guaranteed seating for the event, are highly anticipated each year. Historically, Disney has released details about the narrators and dining packages around mid-to-late October. In 2023, the dates were announced on October 17th. I, too, am eagerly awaiting this year’s announcement!

    For now, keep an eye on the Disney Parks Blog, where all the latest details on holiday happenings—including the Candlelight Processional—will be shared!

    With so much to see and do, the holidays at Walt Disney World are a can’t-miss experience!
