Kay W says
Thank you so much for letting us know when the Candlelight Processional packages started to become available. I was able to pick one up on the Internet and will be going to Via Napoli. That performance is the most moving and wonderful event we have ever been to at Disney. Our trips to Disney are probably coming to an end as we are getting on in years so I really wanted to get into the performance this year. You were a big help!!
Brooke says
Kay W — We are SO glad to read your comment! It’s completely awesome and heartwarming to hear that we’ve helped our readers with the information that we provide. I agree — the Candlelight Processional is truly something special. I hope you have a fantastic time as you experience it this year.

Elizabeth says
Do you recommend this event for younger children? We went 2 years ago with our (then) 5 year old daughter and 2 year old son. Our daughter enjoyed the music and remained entertained, but our son lost interest after 5 minutes. We felt like we were constantly on edge about whether or not he was bothering those around us or simply being a 2 year old. But then we also thought, well, this IS Disney, so it’s perfectly fine for kids to be there. What is your recommendation for those of us with younger children?
AJ says
Elizabeth — It really depends on your kids. I would recommend it if you think there’s any shot they’d sit through it, since many — like your daughter — will really like it. If you do bring kids and one or more of them can’t get through the performance for whatever reason, it’s a very easy exit, and parent and child can still listen to the music since the theater is open-air.
Caroline says
I just booked rose and crown dining room for 2:20 PM (lunch) and it is showing that I have will have a seat at the 8:15 PM show…
Caroline says
Ahhhh! Because it’s on Dec. 6th! Makes sense 🙂
Beth says
When will the complete list of narrators be available? I don’t want to make reservations until I know who all the narrators are…
Brooke says
Beth — Unfortunately, there’s no telling when the list will be complete, and once it is, it’s still subject to change. I would go with the narrator who appeals to you right now, though, especially if you’re interested in a weekend date or a date close to Christmas, as those tend to fill up the fastest. Keep checking our page; we’ll update the list as soon as we have more information. Good luck!
Betty Courtenay says
Do they give you a wristband or voucher for the preferred seating? , or how do they know you had the package?
Brooke says
Betty — Last year, guests were given stickers with their performance time that they had to show to the Cast Members who were minding the queues for the performance.
Vic says
We attended last year. Loved it. We learned that even though we bought the dinner/show package and seats are guaranteed – the sooner you get in line at the rope, the better seats you get.
Beth says
Still no complete narrator list… It’s the middle of September…What’s the hold up???
Lydia says
Where can I find the same information on Disneyland in California?
Brooke says
Lydia — Disneyland doesn’t offer the event on the same scale that Walt Disney World does, but it doesn’t appear that Disneyland has published any information about their event yet.
