The holiday season has officially arrived in Disneyland. Actually, it arrived BEFORE Halloween because Sleeping Beauty Castle got its snow before spooky season ended (it happens every year, but we STILL think it’s a little TOO early).
We’re ready to visit the Disney Festival of the Holidays in California Adventure and eat a TON of holiday snacks. However, another Disneyland holiday tradition is coming up soon, too, and that’s the Candlelight Processional. Well, now we know WHEN you’ll be able to see the Candlelight Processional in Disneyland.
According to The Orange County Register, Disneyland’s Candlelight Processional will be held on December 7th and 8th at 5:30PM and 7:45PM each evening. The Candlelight Processional features a 600-member choir and a celebrity narrator who tells the story of Christmas.
Unlike EPCOT’s Candlelight Processional, Disneyland never reveals the name of the celebrity narrator until the event begins. However, in previous years, narrators have included Brie Larson, Viola Davis, John Stamos, Dick Van Dyke, Sterling K. Brown, Kurt Russell, and Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Note that Disneyland park pass reservations disappear quickly for the days of this event, so you’ll want to get those made ASAP. There is a reserved seating area, but it’s set aside for invited guests, including VIPs and executives, community members, Club 33 members, and the like. If you’d like to catch the event, you’ll need to stake out a spot in front of the Main Street Railroad Station early enough to get a decent viewing area. Note that many who get to view the Candlelight Processional stake out seats HOURS in advance.
If you’re visiting Disneyland during the Candlelight Processional, note that some backstage areas will be open to allow you to navigate through the park while the front area is packed with people watching the ceremony. If you’d just like to listen to it, you can hear it along Main Street, U.S.A.
