Bart Millard performs with MercyMe at Eat to the Beat Walt Disney World has released the latest list of celebrity narrators for the 2018 Candlelight Processional. Added to the list are Helen Hunt (November 24-25), Alfonso Ribeiro (November 26-27), Bart Millard (December 10-12), and Auli’l Cravalho (December 21-23). All four are new to the Candlelight Processional. November 28-December 2 is still TBA.
The Candlelight Processional is the crown jewel of the Epcot International Festival of the Holidays. The narrator tells the story of the birth of Jesus, and is backed by a mass choir and a 50 piece orchestra. The choir is made-up partially of Cast Members and local students. The Candlelight Processional is held three times each night. It’s included with park admission. If you have never experienced the Candlelight Processional, I urge you to change that. It’s a moving experience.
Here’s the full list of narrators and the dates that they’ll be at Epcot. Remember that things can and do sometimes change.
