Seasons greetings, Sherry, and welcome back to planDisney!
Oh my goodness, I am so excited to hear you plan on experiencing the Candlelight Processional during your upcoming jolly holiday at The Most Magical Place on Earth! Between the retelling of the traditional Christmas story, beautiful music, and overall ambiance, this festive offering is the perfect way to ring in the holiday season. I still remember being completely blown away the first time I saw it, and I’m sure you will be too.
You can find the list of celebrity narrators appearing during your trip on the
Candlelight Processional webpage online, but the easiest way to access this information is via your
My Disney Experience mobile app. Scroll down on the app’s homepage until you see the “Holidays at Walt Disney World Resort” section. I love this feature in the app, because it has a guide for
experiencing the holidays at each of the four theme parks, as well as
Disney Springs. Click on “View the Guide” and select the Spaceship Earth icon to see all of the festive happenings at EPCOT you have to look forward to. When you view the details for the
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, you’ll see a section on the Candlelight Processional. If you go to that page and scroll down, you’ll see a list of celebrity narrators and the dates they’ll be appearing.
Because of its popularity, seats at the Candlelight Processional can fill up quickly, so it’s best to plan ahead and get in line for seats extra early. If you head over to the America Gardens Theater, the Cast Members there can tell you where to stand to wait in line for the next show. However, if you want guaranteed seats for a particular show, I recommend booking a
Candlelight Processional Dining Package.
Sherry, I encourage you to look through all sections of the holiday guide for the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays in your app. You can use it to plan out your EPCOT day so you don’t miss any of the Festival offerings, like performances from the World Showcase Storytellers. You can even view the menus for the Holiday Kitchens to make a list of your must-try treats and eats. Enjoy every moment of your trip!
Merry planning,
Alyssa
