By far one of the highlights of the holiday season for my family is going out as a group to Epcot to catch a performance of the Candlelight Processional. This uniquely beautiful holiday show treats guests to a grand musical performance that includes a mass choir and a full orchestra accompanied by a celebrity narrator who retells the beloved story of Christmas.

If you’re wondering why I’m writing about a Christmas event in August, it’s because dinner packages (dinner and reserved seats to the show) now are on sale and almost always sell out prior to the holiday season. While it’s possible to wait in line to see the show the day of, buying a dinner package guarantees you seating to this can’t-miss event. We’ve already got our tickets!

As a new highlight this year, actor Edward James Olmos (jone of the celebrity narrators scheduled to appear) will speak portions of the beloved story in Spanish. Presentations of Candlelight Processional are daily, Nov. 23-Dec. 30, and are included with regular Epcot admission (seating is limited). Candlelight Processional dinner packages, available for an additional charge, include preferred seating for a performance of Candlelight Processional, as well as dinner at an Epcot restaurant. To make reservations for these packages, call 407-WDW-DINE.
