‘Tis the season for holiday cheer at the Disney parks!

While there are SO many festive favorites to choose from at Disney World during the most wonderful time of the year, one of our favorite annual holiday events at the parks HAS to be the Candlelight Processional at Epcot’s International Festival of the Holidays! The show features a celebrity narrator reading of a traditional scripture, accompanied by a massive choir and live orchestra for a truly spectacular experience.
Earlier this week we shared with you that Alton Fitzgerald White would be replacing Chita Rivera as a celebrity narrator, and now we have another change! It was previously announced that Warwick Davis would be the narrator for the Candlelight Processional on December 19th through 21st, but that no longer seems to be the case.

It looks like Geena Davis will be replacing him as the narrator for those nights! The beloved actress is known for her roles in movies such as Beetlejuice and Thelma & Louise. We’re so excited to see this narration for the two nights of the Candlelight Processional!

The Candlelight Processional will be running November 29th through December 30th at the America Gardens Theater in the American Pavilion in Epcot, with shows performed three times each night!

We’ve gone to the Processional for several years and this year have booked next weekend with Gary Sinise and the German buffet for lunch. Love Gary Sinise and have been waiting for him to return. What a class act. This is one of the most wonderful events of the Christmas season at WDW. We use our DVC points and stay over one night.
