Join us as Sheila, Patrick, and Ric journey through seven decades of Disney holiday magic with the Candlelight Processional — the radiant Christmas tradition that began at Disneyland in 1955 and now fills EPCOT's America Gardens Theatre with music, story, and candlelight each winter.
From Walt's early vision and Dr. Charles Hirt's first massed choir to today's star-studded narrators and full orchestras, we'll explore how this beloved event has evolved across both coasts while keeping its timeless message of hope and harmony. Along the way, we'll share fascinating trivia, spotlight the most frequent narrators, and unveil the complete 2025 narrator lineup — from Constance Wu to Gary Sinise and beyond.
So light a candle, cue the trumpets, and step into the procession as we celebrate one of Disney's most heartfelt traditions — where faith, music, and magic come together in perfect harmony.
