We are so excited for the Candlelight Processional to be returning to the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays in 2022. This holiday tradition will begin on November 25th, and we have the first look at this year’s celebrity narrators that will be joining us.



Without further ado, here is your first look at this year’s narrators;

  • 11/30 – 12/1: Raul Esparza (NEW)

Be sure to secure your spot at the show early to avoid disappointment. Unlike other holiday events like Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays is available with valid theme park admission and a park reservation for the same date, not requiring a further ticket for the event itself. We will have more details here on the DIS as they are released.



Candlelight Processional Dining Packages will be available to reserve starting October 6. With a dining package, guests can enjoy a leisurely meal at a select EPCOT restaurant and guaranteed seating at one of the performances later that same day. Reservations can be made via the My Disney Experience app or at EPCOTholidays.com.
