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.
Because the holidays are best celebrated with others, we could not be more excited to again share this tradition with the community as we invite guest choirs from across Florida to take part in the show. Choirs comprised of Disney cast members will also return, bringing magic to their performances as they do in their roles every day.

Is this event live streamed? We would love to see other narrators! We had to chance to see Shimu Liu and Whoopi while there. Absolutely amazing. Such talented conductor, cast members & orchestra!
It would be great if they would open the Candlelight Procession to the public here at Disneyland CA. We had one year where they had a lottery for pass holders, and I was lucky enough to have seen it twice: Kurt Russell and Patricia Heaton.
“Beginning October 6, 2022, you can secure your spot for this limited-time experience by booking online. Advance reservations are highly recommended and can be made up to 60 days prior to your visit.” This is from the Disney website so itll be your 60 days
Do packages go on sale october 6th for the whole season or just for 60 days ahead of the start of your trip like other advanced dining reservations? If someone is coming December 15th then can they get their package in October 6th?
I am so excited that you finally announced! Can’t wait to book my dining package and to see Whoopi. This experience is so beautiful and moving, it’s a must not miss.
