Out of all the holiday activities that you can experience at Disney World, Candlelight Processional is among the fan-favorites.
EPCOT Candlelight Processional
This EPCOT event is hosted by celebrity narrators who are accompanied by a choir consisting of Disney World Cast Members. Through song and story, they spread some touching Christmas joy! Many folks pick which night they attend the show based on who is narrating, but now, a few folks have been left disappointed.Â
Two of the 2023 celebrity narrators have dropped out of the event.Â

Simu Liu dropped out of the November 30th show and has been replaced by Bart Millard.Â
