One of Walt Disney World’s most endearing traditions is EPCOT’s Candlelight Processional. Every holiday season, a massive choir made up of Cast Members, The Voices of Liberty, high school groups, and a slew of celebrity narrators takes the stage at the America Gardens Theater at the back of the park’s World Showcase for a beautiful retelling of the biblical Christmas story.
This year, Candlelight Processional begins November 27 and goes through December 30, and is offered three times per night at 4:45 p.m., 6:30 p.m., and 8:00 p.m. While the 51-piece orchestra and 150-person choir are always impressive, this year’s list of celebrity narrators is equally exciting.

How To Get Tickets For Candlelight Processional At EPCOT?
The choir at EPCOT’s Candlelight Processional are made up of Cast Members and high school students.The great thing about EPCOT’s Candlelight Processional is that it’s included with your park ticket. If you want a good seat in the free seated area, line up early in the designated area. Cast Members are always directing folks to the standby line near the America Gardens Theater. For more popular narrators like Neil Patrick Harris, and likely Jason Kelce, you’ll want to get in line by noon for a spot inside the theater.
If you don’t care about where you sit, you can always hear Candlelight Processional from nearly anywhere in the American Adventure pavilion. I like to stake out a spot near the central fountain to watch with a snack in hand.

If you don’t want to wait for hours in the stand-by line, you can book a guaranteed seat with a Candlelight Processional Dining Package. This dining reservation is for breakfast, lunch, or dinner at a participating EPCOT restaurant. The package includes an entree and dessert, or a buffet, depending on your chosen restaurant, plus a drink for everyone, and a guaranteed seat for one of the timed Candlelight Processional showings.
This year, some participating restaurants include Akershus Royal Banquet Hall in the Norway Pavilion, Garden Grill inside The Land Pavilion, and Via Napoli in the Italy Pavilion. Each restaurant has a different price point for adults and kids. Most restaurants will take reservations through the Disney Dining Plan too.
Reservations for Candlelight Processional Dining Packages officially open on October 14, 2026. If there is a narrator you really want to see or a restaurant that looks enticing, it’s always a good idea to book as early as possible. Popular spots like Biergarten Restaurant and Le Cellier Steakhouse do fill up quickly.
