The holiday season at Walt Disney World is truly one of the most magical times of the entire year at the parks. While the Magic Kingdom Park celebrates with Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party Epcot’s celebrations have always been a bit more calming and catered a bit more for adults.
For those unfamiliar with the Candlelight Professional, it is simply the re-telling of the traditional Christmas story with celebrity narrators that also includes a mass choir singing both contemporary and more traditional Christmas songs.
This years events are starting on November 27 and will be running until December 30. The Candlelight Processional is on three times per night during the holiday season with show times at
- 5pm
- 6:45pm
- 8:15pm
As with previous years, every show will take place at the American Gardens Theater
While not all celebrity narrators have been confirmed yet, here is the list Disney have confirmed so far:
- 11/27 – 11/29 — TBA
- 11/30 – 12/3 — Neil Patrick Harris

Ryan has been attending theme parks since as long as he can remember and his first proper memory comes from when he was just three years old sitting in Main Street USA drinking a Nesquik milkshake from a carton while the piano was being played outside Casey’s Corner.
