Re: Candle Light Processional Narrators

We're going to be there the last days of November. My DD really wishes that Monique Coleman was the person telling the story. Oh well, maybe we'll just walk the countries in hopes that it won't be so crowded.

Each year at Epcot, they have choirs from around the country, as well as a choir made up of cast members. They file into the theater at America in the World Showcase holding candles, thus a candlelight processional. But, it's so much more. They sing songs, there is an amazing orchestra, and it is all centered around the story of the birth of Christ. The celebrity narrators read the story from the Bible, accompanied by the choirs singing Christmas songs, and it is really just awe-inspiring.

We saw it a couple years ago and Mario Lopez had just finished on Dancing with the Stars, so he was our narrator. There are also dinner packages available at a number of restaurants within Epcot, and this is the best way to guarantee a seat.

If you are at WDW during Christmas time, this is a wonderful event to witness.

Re: Candle Light Processional Narrators

This is also a wonderful time to go and hit the rides because a lot of people head to the back of the park in WS for this.

Re: Candle Light Processional Narrators

We saw Gary Sinese. He was sooooo good. He's been there several years in a row. Wonder why not this year. Oh well, there are still good narrators! It's such a beautiful program!

Re: Candle Light Processional Narrators

We'll only be there for the first night...11/28. I don't have an Epcot dinner planned for this day, so I guess I will forego the CP dinner package. Oh well...I've never done the package before anyway.

Abigail Breslin! Yea! I think the Christmas story is even more beautiful when told by a child! I bet John O'Hurley will be good too.

I saw the Processional with John O Hurley in 2006, and he was really good.
