This year’s EPCOT Festival of Holidays is a little different from previous years.
One big change is that the Candlelight Processional was canceled this year.
The Candlelight Processional is a celebrity-narrated performance at EPCOT that includes a full orchestra and a choir of Cast Members and guests from all over the country. The performances take place three times every night at the America Gardens Theater in the American Pavilion during the holidays.
Now that this year’s event won’t be happening, Disney is now offering guests a chance to watch last year’s Candlelight Processional in the comfort of their own homes! Even better? It’s narrated by one of our favorite celebrity Disney nerds Neil Patrick Harris! You can watch it below!
