We’re continuing our holiday fun this week with a special look at some can’t miss experiences at the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays presented by AdventHealth.
This popular EPCOT festival is a celebration of the holidays like none other - packed with dazzling live entertainment like the popular Candlelight Processional and Holiday Storytellers along with delicious seasonal treats, family-friendly activities and more.
Today, we’ve got nine popular things you need to do before the festivities end on Dec. 30.
Candlelight Processional is Disney Parks Tradition
Our first must-do is the guest favorite EPCOT Candlelight Processional - guaranteed to get you in the holiday spirit. This special retelling of the Christmas story by celebrity narrators features an amazing choir of Disney cast members and local community groups and a 50-piece live orchestra with herald trumpets.
Here’s an updated list of list of celebrity narrators performing now through to the end of the festival:
Notice the number of NEW celebrity narrators you can still enjoy in coming weeks. Performances are nightly at America Gardens Theatre at EPCOT with showtimes at 5:15, 7 and 8:30 p.m.
Spaceship Earth Shines Bright for the Holidays
When the sun sets, the iconic Spaceship Earth attraction is a sparkling must-see during the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. The colorful lights can be enjoyed every night and the display is accompanied by the Disney100 anthem, an original version of “When You Wish Upon a Star.”
