Candlelight Procession at Epcot
I am a little confused by the events at Epcot for the Christmas Season. This Candlelight Procession, does it take place in a theater? Or does it involve some kind of solemn parade lit by candlelight? Or is it both?
Now that I am thinking about this, am I correct to assume that all the countries in WS also have some kind of Christmas or Holiday decorations?

Re: Candlelight Procession at Epcot
It takes place in the covered theatre in front of the American Pavilion. There is a guest narrator, guest choirs, the Voices of Liberty and some WDW cast members in the production. They enter the theatre carrying lit candles. Here are some pictures... http://www.suitedisney.com/wdwphotos...ocessional.htm

Re: Candlelight Procession at Epcot
Oh, sorry - all of the countries have Christmas storytellers. There are scheduled shows throughout the day where they tell how people in their country celebrate the holidays. The shows aren't real long and they're outdoors, you can catch several in a day.

Re: Candlelight Procession at Epcot
The Candlelight Processional is so worth seeing!!!!! It's a beautiful performance. Depending on when you go, the lines can be very long if you don't have a reserved seat. We saw the Christmas night performance and were soooooo glad we had a reserved seat.

Re: Candlelight Procession at Epcot
Thanks, SuiteDisney and Smee. It does look wonderful.
How does one reserve seats? Is there a dinner package available with any of the Epcot restaurants? Kind of like Fantasmic over at The Studios? Or can I make a reservation with Epcot?

Re: Candlelight Procession at Epcot
We absolutely love the Candlelight Processional. There are actual area highschool choirs that sing, and its the Christmas story, narrated by a celebrity. One year, our monorail pilot was in the WDW choir. It was really neat! He told us the cast members really love doing it.
The reserved seats are a nice touch, but if you have time to wait, you can usually get a seat at one of the showings. They run it 3 times a night. Its so nice to us, because it captures the true spirit of Christmas.

Re: Candlelight Procession at Epcot
We went to the Candlelight Processional in 2005, I have to tell you it was amazing. I was so moved by the experience and then after that Epcot went right into Illuminations, I've never been so in awe, it truly brought a tear to my eye. I wish we were going to the Candlelight Processional this year, but I couldn't talk my husband into it. We will be seeing Illuminations though. Have a great time. Lynn

Re: Candlelight Procession at Epcot
Gary Sinise is the best! We've seen him a couple of times. I love the CP, though I miss when they used to offer the lanyard, pin, and shopping discount with the package. That was before there was also a very long line for those on the package (I remember being able to just walk right into the theater at the last minute, and get a front row seat). :)
