Candlelight Processional 2016

[kerry827]

Hello!

I am excited to plan an Xmas trip... as I have NEVER been before at Xmas time. My friend and I are both veteran Disney vacationers but never in Dec. We definitely will be checking out the Candlelight processional. I noticed the schedule of narrators is up to date. But for the nights we plan on being in Epcot there aren't narrators listed. What happens during those nights? Do other possibly not "famous" narrators participate? It doesn't necessarily matter to us as we will go no matter what but am just curious.

Thanks!

Kerry

PS:If anyone has any other suggestions for Dec must-dos let me know... We do have some plans but we can tweak them :mickey:

As you referring to those listed as TBA? It just means they haven't contracted those date yet but they will. Some from last year that have not on the list yet are Blair Underwood, Gary Sinise, and America Ferrera, and Amy Grant so it could possibly be one of them.

I suggest you do a Candlelight Processional dinner package. Not sure if it is still the same way, but when I went in 2012 you got the reserved seating for candlelight processional and a reserved viewing area for illuminations.

Whoever the narrator is, if the biblical story of Christmas has any meaning to you, then the Processional will be the highlight of your trip. It's the choir and the music that makes the show so fabulous. The narrator is the icing on top, but no matter who it is, the show will not disappoint. The narrator the year we went was not someone that I particularly cared anything about, but I was still emotionally overwhelmed by the experience. Not to be missed!

Yes. There will be live narrator. As Lynn said, they just haven't finalized them all yet. If I recall, last year the list wasn't complete until the beginning of November for a couple of dates.

Enjoy.

They haven't offered the Illuminations viewing area for those with the CP dining package for a few years. I agree with getting the CP dining package if you want to see this to ensure you get a seat. We really enjoy Chefs.
