It’s not Christmas until I have attended Disney’s Candlelight Processional at least once or twice. It is a necessary part of my Christmas celebration each year and luckily, my entire family agrees. Our annual family Christmas Disney vacation takes place Dec 2-6 this year and we are knee deep in planning to catch all our Christmas favorites and the new for 2017 offerings. If you have never visited Walt Disney World in November or December and seen her decked out in all of her holiday splendor, you don’t know what you are missing.
The Candlelight Processional at Epcot is an amazing, Biblical account of the Christmas story with a celebrity narrator, mass choir, and a 50 piece orchestra. While nothing beats experiencing this show live, the CD is one of my favorites to listen to at home. The Candlelight Processional is included with the cost of Epcot admission, but I suggest getting in the stand-by line 45-60 minutes before the show you want to attend. If you want, there are Candlelight Processional dining packages available. These packages vary in price but they get you a seat for the show as well. Check with your Disney Travel Agent for more information on these packages.
