Hello Larry,
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question! I had the chance to attend the
Candlelight Processional for the first time last December and I absolutely loved it! The retelling of the Christmas story by a celebrity narrator with the accompanying choir and orchestra is such an emotional experience, I really can't recommend it enough.
I wish I had some information to share on exactly when the full list of celebrity narrators will be available, but like you, I'm watching and waiting. Looking at past years, the names are usually released around October or November, so my best advice is to keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for the latest updates as your travel dates approach. I do expect we'll see information on the
Candlelight Dinner Packages released this month or next, though. Those packages are a great way to combine guaranteed seating for the Candlelight Processional, a delicious meal and VIP seating for IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth, so it might be something you want to consider for your trip.
Wishing you magical vacation planning, Larry!
Beth
