The centerpiece of the Disney World Christmas celebrations would have to be the Epcot Candlelight Processional.
Each night from November 27th through December 30th, a celebrity narrator reads the Christmas Story while accompanied by a mass choir and 50-piece live orchestra.
This is a truly wonderful event that can be seen 3 times nightly (5:00, 6:45 and 8:15 p.m.) at the America Gardens Theater.
Scheduled celebrity narrators include (subject to change):
- Nov. 27-29 Isabella Rossellini
- Nov. 30 & Dec. 1-2 John O’Hurley
- Dec. 3-5 Steven Curtis Chapman
- Dec. 6-8 Anika Noni Rose
- Dec. 9-11 Andy Garcia
- Dec. 12-14 Vanessa Williams
- Dec. 15-17 Abigail Breslin
- Dec. 18-20 Whoopi Goldberg
- Dec. 21-23 Brian Dennehy
- Dec. 24-26 Edward James Olmos
- Dec. 27-30 Angela Bassett / Courtney B. Vance
Performances are included with Epcot admission, and guests are advised to arrive early. Dining packages that include guaranteed seating for Candlelight Processional and a special viewing location for “IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth” can be booked by calling 407/WDW-DINE. More information is available at www.disneyworld.com/holidays.
If you celebrate Christmas and you are visiting Disney World during December, you should make it a point to try to see this show. The choir is made up of Disney Cast Members and they are wonderful. The whole production is well done. This show is not about Disney special effects, but rather its about the people and the great live performance that they create.
