Disney World Announces JOYFUL! & Candlelight Processional Info for 2024

There is no time like the present to start planning your family’s holiday trip to EPCOT at Walt Disney World! Check out the top three must-see holiday entertainment highlights of the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays; all included with your EPCOT theme park ticket.

Hear the inspirational story of Christmas retold by a celebrity narrator and massed choir—accompanied by a 50-piece orchestra, herald trumpets, and the Voices of Liberty during the Candlelight Processional. The 2024 list of celebrity narrators has been announced, and we expect to see the pricing of the dining package released shortly. The dining package includes guaranteed seating for one of three Candlelight Processional shows at one of fifteen restaurants, ranging from character dining at Chip ‘N’ Dale’s Harvest Feast at Garden Grill Restaurant in The Land pavilion to Le Cellier Steakhouse in the Canada pavilion. There are options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You can book your dining package starting October 29, 2024.

Guests can also experience the joy of Christmas in the uplifting Gospel, R&B, and holiday songs of JOYFUL! A Celebration of the Season. Join the choir as they spread holiday cheer at their new location in CommuniCore Plaza. This special celebration takes place just four times a day, so don’t miss your opportunity to experience the holiday cheer they bring!

Take a stroll around World Showcase, where seasonal legends and traditions come to life through Holiday Storytellers. “Meet the mischievous Barn Santa in the Norway pavilion for a great laugh or listen to the tale of La Befana in Italy, the kind-hearted witch who visits on the Eve of the Epiphany; take in the wonders of Lunar New Year with a Chinese Lion Dance viewing or discover the traditions of Hanukkah located between Morocco and France.” Every culture has unique holiday traditions, and there’s no better place than EPCOT to experience their magic!
