Tis the season…the holiday season in Disney World. And you know what that means…other than the awesome decorations, all the great snacks, and Jollywood Nights and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays
It means that it’s also the time of the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, which brings in celebrity narrators for the Candlelight Processional. Now, those celebrities just don’t usually attend the Candelight Processional — many of them take the opportunity to spend some time in Disney World outside of their EPCOT duties. One such celebrity recently hosted the Candlelight Processional and spent some time with her family taking what very well could be a Christmas card photo at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.
That celebrity is no other than singer Gloria Estefan, who spent Christmas Eve in Disney World when she narrated the Candlelight Processional. However, she also brought her whole family along for the experience, and they spent some time enjoying other parts of Disney World, too.
Oh, and yes, Estefan is actually a PART of EPCOT — her hit single “Conga” is one of the songs you can get while riding Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind (and we might argue, it’s one of the BEST songs to get on the ride). While visiting Disney World, Estefan and her family took time to take an EPIC photo in front of the Christmas tree at the Grand Floridian. Yes, that should be her Christmas card for next year!

Estefan and her family also spent some time dining at 1900 Park Fare and even took time to pose with some of the characters there, including Cinderella.

Estefan’s family also visited Disney’s Hollywood Studios and had to get the shot in front of the Stormtroopers in Rise of the Resistance (it’s a must-get photo, right?).

Of course, there was the obligatory Cinderella Castle photo, which is also a MUST. It looks like the Estefan family had a great time visiting Disney World.
