Stars from Marvel and 'Shark Tank' Will Be Narrating the Candlelight Processional at EPCOT

If you’re hoping to visit EPCOT for the International Festival of the Holidays this year, we’ve received quite a few updates recently about the festival!

The EPCOT Festival of the Holidays!

We’ve got a list of food booths (we’ll be visiting ALL of them!), a list of entertainment options (including the holiday storytellers!), and the list of celebrities who will be narrating the Candlelight Processional. When the celebrity names were first announced, there were two spots that were left as “TBA,” but now those slots have been filled!

Thanks to our reader Joe (@schreiberjoe on Instagram) for bringing it to our attention that two more celebrity narrators have been revealed for this year. The Disney Parks Blog announcement post was updated to include narrators for the dates of November 25th-26th and December 7th-9th.

On November 25th-26th you’ll be able to catch Simu Liu, who plays Shang-Chi in Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (so exciting!!), narrating the performance for the first two nights of the festival. On December 7th-9th, the celebrity narrator will be Daymond John from Shark Tank.

We can’t wait to see these performances in EPCOT when the festival kicks off the day after Thanksgiving. We’ll keep you updated with any more news on dining packages for these performances as well.

Stay tuned to DFB for more festival updates. We’ll be there on the first day to try all the delicious eats, make our way through the Holiday Cookie Stroll, watch the holiday storytellers, and of course, see the Candlelight Processional. If you’re visiting Disney World this holiday season, we’ll be sharing all the news and announcements, so you’ll want to keep following along here on the blog and on social media!
