food IS a theme park
If you were planning on a chill EPCOT day tomorrow, we need to talk.
We’re not kidding about the crowds!
EPCOT is about to be noticeably more crowded than usual, and it all comes down to one very specific reason. Brendan Fraser is the Candlelight Processional narrator tomorrow as part of the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. That combination alone is enough to draw massive crowds, so let’s break down what’s happening and what you should expect if you’ll be in the park.
The final festival of the year has officially arrived at EPCOT, and that means big things are happening. Food booths have opened, merchandise has been stocked, and the tiny train has updated its flags. Wait, should that really be listed as something big?
The Tiny Train Town is celebrating the Festival of the Holidays!
Here at Disney Food Blog, this is meant for a celebration. We oogle over Disney details that make the Disney Parks as incredible and special as they are, and only true Disney Adults know about this Germany Pavilion change.
It’s almost the most wonderful time of the year over in EPCOT!
2022 EPCOT Candlelight Processional
Well, any day in EPCOT is a great day in our opinion, but the holidays bring something special to the park — the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays! While this festival is full of great dishes to try from booths all around the world, one of our other favorite parts of the festival is the Candlelight Processional. If you’ve been looking forward to it as much as we have and want to be sure you’ve got the best seat, dining packages are now available to book!
We were beyond thrilled to see Disney release the official list of Candlelight Processional narrators we’ll get to see at the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays this year, but we have to admit that we had to look twice when we realized a certain name wasn’t on there.
Neil Patrick Harris Narrating the Candlelight Processional
Neil Patrick Harris has been a narrator for this special event for the past three years in a row, as well as multiple years prior, but this year, his name isn’t on the list. We’re looking forward to seeing the other narrators, don’t get us wrong, but we know we’re not alone in being a little bummed and wondering why he’s not in attendance this year. We did some digging, though, and it makes TOTAL sense why he won’t be there this year!
It’s almost TIME!
Candlelight Processional
The EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays starts November 28th and runs till December 30th. One of our favorite parts is the Candlelight Processional, where celebrity narrators tell the story of Christmas with the help of a 50-piece orchestra and different choirs, and we finally know which narrators are coming this year.
