food IS a theme park
This year’s EPCOT Festival of Holidays is a little different from previous years.
EPCOT Festival of the Holidays
One big change is that the Candlelight Processional was canceled this year.
There are SO many aspects of the holidays to love at Disney World!
Candlelight Processional
From festive treats to cheery decorations, we can’t get enough! One of our favorite yearly holiday events at the parks, though, has to be the Candlelight Processional at Epcot’s International Festival of the Holidays. The show combines a reading of a traditional scripture (performed by a celebrity narrator), accompanied by a massive choir and live orchestra for a truly special experience.
The holidays have ARRIVED in Epcot!
Conducting the Candlelight Processional
One of our favorite holiday traditions at the park is The Candlelight Processional, which combines a reading of a traditional scripture (performed by a celebrity narrator), accompanied by a massive choir and live orchestra for a truly special experience. But, if you won’t be in Disney World to see it in person, don’t fret! The holidays have come early, and Disney has granted our wish to see The Candlelight Processional from the comfort of our homes!
Oh by gosh, by golly– it’s almost time for mistletoe and holly! Get ready because this year Disney is spreading holiday cheer throughout ALL FOUR of its theme parks! And things are going to be a little bit different… .
