Hi Gina,
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, and thank you for your question. Last year, my fellow Moms Panelists and I had the opportunity to see the Candlelight Processional narrated by Whoopi Goldberg. It was such a beautiful show and we were all moved by the story, Whoopi’s joyful narration and singing, and, of course, the gorgeous music.
I have fabulous news for you, Gina: four more narrators were just announced for the 2018
Candlelight Processional. For December 21, Auli’i Cravalho will be taking the stage to narrate the Christmas story, and I could not be more excited for you. I just adore the way Auli’i brought Moana to life, and I know her energy and talent will blend together with the incredible choir and orchestra to create something truly wonderful.
Gina,
this Disney Parks Blog post provides a great overview of the narrator lineup, as well as a variety of merry and magical experiences coming to the
Epcot International Festival of the Holidays. After the Candlelight Processional, I know I would be picking up some of those festive treats, searching for Chip ‘n Dale around the World Showcase, and then taking in the breathtaking holiday finale to IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth.
I hope you enjoy your Epcot holiday celebration!
Wishing you a magical vacation,
Robyn
