Candlelight Processional at Epcot

During the Epcot International Festival of the Holidays, there will be a variety of holiday storytellers and fun at each of the pavilions within the World Showcase.  There will also be a special holiday version of IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth, too.

The Candlelight Processional is one of the most popular holiday events at Walt Disney World.  The event is a retelling of the Christmas story.  The story is read by a celebrity narrator who is accompanied by an orchestra and choir.

About Christy Caby

I am a diehard Disney fanatic! I fell in love with all things Disney from an early age and that only increased once I first visited Walt Disney World! It led me to complete a yearlong Disney College Program working at merchandise locations within Disney’s Hollywood Studios (Disney-MGM Studios at that time) and I worked for Disney Parks & Resorts Technology in Project/Program Management. Now I get to write about Disney and help others plan their magical vacations! Disney holds a special place in the hearts of my entire family as my husband proposed there, we honeymooned there, took trips while pregnant with each of my boys and have visited with them many, many times from 8 weeks old through now. One of my favorite memories from each trip is always the look on my kids’ faces the first time they see the castle. I’d love to help you plan your magical vacation!
