    What are the days & times of Candlelight Processional in 2025!

    Seasons greetings, Linda! We're ho-ho-happy you stopped by planDisney. You'll soon arrive at Walt Disney World Resort, so let's create a magical itinerary that includes some festive holiday fun.

    Candlelight Processional is a stirring presentation featuring angelic holiday carols and celebrity narrators. My family has kicked off the season several times by enjoying this moving spectacle at EPCOT, so I think it's a fabulous addition to your theme park plans. 

    Schedules are typically released a few weeks before the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays begins, so you can start looking for announcements in mid-October for the 2025 event. This year's list of narrators for Candlelight Processional was released on October 16 by the Disney Parks Blog, and you can also find it on the festival landing page.

    I see Josh Gadd is the scheduled narrator on November 30 this year. Like his friend Olaf, he's worth melting for! You can toggle to see the dates for December 2024; I'm planning to see Neil Patrick Harris on December 18.

    Showtimes are typically at 5:00 PM, 6:45 PM, and 8:15 PM. I recently caught an Eat to the Beat concert at America Gardens Theater for the first show, and the sunset surrounding the stage was spectacular!

    My tip is to book a Candlelight Processional Dining Package to be assured a good seat. My husband and I will dine at Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria for lunch to receive tickets to the 6:45 PM show. 

    Linda, I hope your visit is merry and bright! Keep wishing on a star, and stop by planDisney anytime. 

    Magic awaits,
    Elaine
