Walt Disney World Candlelight Processional 2024 Narrators & Dates Announced

Celebrity Narrators & Dates

The Walt Disney World Candlelight Processional at EPCOT is a must-do tradition for many guests each year. The beloved show tells the story of Christmas through a stunning performance, featuring a celebrity narrator, a mass choir of Disney cast members and young singers from the community, a 50-piece orchestra, herald trumpets and the incredible Voices of Liberty. The Candlelight Processional will take place this year starting on November 29, 2024 through December 30, 2024 in the America Gardens Theatre which is located across from The American Adventure along World Showcase lagoon.

Here’s the full list of this year’s celebrity narrators and their appearance dates:

Josh Gad – November 29 – 30
Nico Santos (NEW) – December 1 – 2
Chrissy Metz – December 3 – 5
Whoopi Goldberg – December 6 – 7

The Candlelight Processional will take place nightly at 5:00pm, 6:45pm and 8:15pm (weather permitting).

As in past years, Candlelight Processional Dining Packages will be available for an additional cost. Disney will begin taking reservations for the Candlelight Processional Dining Packages starting October 29, 2024. The package guarantees each person who purchased the Dining Package a seat at the processional. Visit the Walt Disney World website for dates and reservations.

As a reminder, theme park admission to EPCOT is required in order to attend the Walt Disney World Candlelight Processional. If you are looking for a short walk to the American Gardens Theatre, I suggest parking at Hollywood Studios and taking the Skyliner to EPCOT which drops guests off at the International Gateway which is a lot closer to the theatre than parking in the EPCOT parking lot.
