Wonderful Experience
The Epcot Candlelight Processional is a Christmas Holiday experience that I cherish.  I have experienced it firsthand a number of times and I continue to look forward to it.  The Choirs are incredible and each Narrator adds their own personality to the reading of the Christmas Story in between the songs.  It has become a Christmas tradition for many families.

If you celebrate Christmas you should try to attend one of the Candlelight Processional Shows with your family.

Viewing Tip: If you choose to not purchase a Dinner Package and did not get in line in time consider sitting in the outdoor eating area outside of the American Pavilion.  You will not have much of a view, but you will be able to hear the performance.
