Disney Confirms Lineup for Beloved Candlelight Processional
Disney has confirmed the return of its beloved Candlelight Processional tradition at Epcot's Festival of Holidays. This year, the event features a lineup of 13 celebrity narrators who will tell the story of Christmas through classic hymns and excerpts from the Biblical Christmas story.
The Candlelight Processional first began in Disneyland in the early 1960s and came to Walt Disney World in 1971. It has since become a staple of Epcot's holiday celebrations, featuring a 51-piece orchestra and over 150 community singers.
This year's lineup includes notable celebrities such as Auli'i Cravalho, Gary Sinise, Whoopi Goldberg, Robin Roberts, Jason Kelce, Neil Patrick Harris, Lauren Daigle, Ralph Macchio, Henry Winkler, Lacey Chabert, Jodi Benson, Simu Liu, and Eva Longoria.
The narrators will perform at the America Gardens Theatre from November 27th to December 30th, with performances held nightly at 4:45 PM, 6:30 PM, and 8 PM. Dining packages are available for guaranteed seating and can be booked starting October 14th.
