Disney shared the big news, stating, “Get ready to fill your holiday season with songs at the “Candlelight Processional,” returning to the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays presented by AdventHealth starting Nov. 25.”
“This time-honored tradition has been a part of the holiday season at Walt Disney World since its opening in 1971. Experience the celebrity narrators, the Voices of Liberty acapella ensemble, a 50-piece live orchestra and glorious massed choirs as they present a heartwarming retelling of the traditional Christmas story.”
While the music and performance are absolutely stunning, what tends to set EPCOT’s Candlelight Processional apart from other Disney holiday celebrations is the celebrity narrators that share the Christmas story with the audience.
