Disney4me Posted Saturday at 03:32 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 03:32 PM Happy Holidays — the Festival of the Holidays event is HERE! EPCOT Festival of the Holidays EPCOT’s International Festival of the Holidays began and will continue to delight guests through December 30th. This festival features tons of exciting holiday kitchen food booths with countless special offerings, exclusive merchandise that can only be bought during the festival, and entertainment, like the highly-anticipated show that happens each year. That’s right — the Candlelight Processional is BACK! The Candlelight Processional happens three times each evening of the festival — once at 5PM, once at 6:45PM, and a final time at 8:15PM. A 50-piece orchestra and choir made up of mostly Disney Cast Members (and some guest choirs from around the country) are joined by a celebrity narrator each night to tell the Christmas story. This year, those narrators are: 11/29 – 11/30 Josh Gad 12/1 – 12/2 Nico Santos (NEW) 12/3-12/5 Chrissy Metz 12/6 – 12/7 Whoopi Goldberg 12/8 – 12/10 Tituss Burgess (NEW) 12/11 – 12/12 Brendan Fraser 12/13 – 12/14 Ralph Macchio (NEW) 12/15 – 12/16 Gary Sinise 12/17 – 12/18 Neil Patrick Harris 12/19 – 12/21 Pat Sajak 12/22 – 12/23 Gloria Estefan 12/24 – 12/26 Edward James Olmos 12/27 – 12/28 Sterling K Brown 12/29 – 12/30 Jodi Benson Candlelight Processional Since we visited EPCOT on the very first night of the festival, we got to catch one of the very first shows! We stopped at the 6:45PM show and found it to be MAGICAL. Some of the most popular celebrity narrators will draw large crowds, so you’ll want to either secure your spot in line at least an hour before showtime on those nights or book a dining package to ensure your seat is reserved. This show is so epic Now, for the big reveal. We got to see THE voice of Olaf…Josh Gad! He even took to Instagram to express his gratitude for being part of the show, writing, “These incredible singers never cease to amaze me. Thank you for allowing me to stare in wonder at all of you and for allowing me to host this beautiful #candlelightprocessional at Epcot.” It’s Josh Gad! The show was absolutely wonderful, and it never disappoints. If you’re someone who appreciates live entertainment, music, and an overall moving show, you won’t want to miss this offering.
