It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Wait…what? We haven’t even celebrated Halloween yet!
Well, Disney just shared some major holiday news, so maybe the holiday season really is on the way! The beloved Candelight Processional is coming back once again for EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays this year, and Disney just released the full schedule AND narrator list.
EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays is one of EPCOT’s most beautiful festivals. Cherished holiday traditions from all around the world come to life at World Showcase. It’s filled with all kinds of food, beverages, and holiday stories. However, our favorite part of the Festival of the Holidays has to be the Candlelight Processional.
The Candlelight Processional is a beautiful performance featuring a mass choir of Cast Members and community singers, the Voices of Liberty, a 50-piece orchestra, and a celebrity narrator sharing the Christmas story.
It’s time to start talking about the most wonderful time of the year, because Disney just dropped the list of celebrities that will be narrating the show this year, and the dates they are visiting EPCOT. Let us tell you, the list is star-studded! From film and television icons to award-winning performers, you’re going to want to attend the show multiple times.
