It’s almost TIME!
Candlelight Processional
The EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays starts November 28th and runs till December 30th.

Josh Gad narrating the 2024 Candlelight Processional
What an incredible lineup! You can find the performances at the America Gardens Theatre at 5 PM, 6:45 PM, and 8:15 PM every night for the entire festival. Keep in mind that these shows can fill up fast, depending on who the narrator is, so if you have one you need to see, make sure you arrive early.
This show is so epic
You can also book a Candlelight Processional Dining Package, which guarantees you a spot during the show, and you get either breakfast, lunch, or dinner, depending on he restaurant. You’ll get an entree and dessert or access to the buffet along with a non-alcoholic or alcoholic beverage for guests over 21.
Lines for Candlelight Processional
There are eight new narrators, and we’re nerding out over here! The shows are so entertaining, and each narrator has their own twist on the story. Some of the choirs are made from members of the community, like local choirs and high schools, and others are built entirely of Cast Members.

WOW! Some really great new guests! I would love to see Henry Winkler and Gary Sinise!! Nice!
Epcot isjustnot drawing the big names any more. Oh well.
Wow! Lots of new names! I’m choosing Henry Winkler!! But sad not to see familiar names we love such as Josh Gad and Whooping Goldberg….
I was up at 6 am on the 14th, ready to book an ADR for Candlelight Dining. However, for whatever reason, Disney is not doing tables for two. I could find all kinds of reservations if I set the party size to 3 or more. But two? NADA. I checked all dates, all locations. Not a single table available for two people.
What is going on?
