We’ve got some holiday ears, we’ve stocked up on holiday shirts and other merchandise, and we’ve started to make our way through ALL the holiday snacks…all we need now is some holiday music!
Well, thankfully EPCOT has us covered! When we stopped by recently, we were happy to find that JOYFUL! is back and is performing some of our very favorite holiday songs! Ready to sing along? Check out some photos and videos of this fantastic group.
If you’re looking for some great holiday entertainment there are quite a few options in Disney World! There are holiday cavalcades in Magic Kingdom, merry motorcades in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, holiday promenades at EPCOT, festive flotillas in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and more! And now, JOYFUL! is back as well!
This year, JOYFUL! will be performing in World ShowPlace in EPCOT — that’s the large building between the Canada and United Kingdom pavilions where we got to enjoy some booths during the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. The group sings a variety of R&B, Gospel, contemporary, and traditional Christmas and holiday music.
When we watched their performance, we heard them sing holiday songs with unique touches! We weren’t fully warmed up, but we totally sang along anyway (quietly, of course, as we didn’t want to steal their spotlight…or damage the ears of those around us)!
Overall, we truly enjoyed watching this group perform. It’s also great that they’re in the World ShowPlace pavilion, so you can grab some snacks and get a little air conditioning break during the hot Florida winter (oh Florida, you are a special place)!
Treat your ears to a bit of their performance that we were lucky enough to experience in person!
