Complete your map and turn it in at Disney Traders or World Traveler for a festive limited edition button set (while supplies last).
  • Kid-Friendly Food – The Holiday Kitchens aren’t only for adults! Each country has dishes designed for kids’ taste buds in mind.

Epcot candlelight processional tips for families

Make A Timeless Family Tradition – Candlelight Processional

Disney bucket list. If there’s one show I recommend that every family see at least once in their lifetime, it’s the Epcot Candlelight Processional. There’s not a year that goes by that I’m not wiping a few tears as I watch. It’s beautiful, moving, and awestruck all in just 1-hour. It’s the timeless Christmas story narrated by one of the many famous celebrities. It’s a full orchestra playing your favorite Christmas tunes. It’s a huge choir of voices singing like angels. It’s a Christmas production unlike anything out there. And it’s a family tradition we make a point of experiencing again and again…because it’s THAT amazing.

    This would be a great place to visit any time of the year. But, I imagine, it’s even better at Christmas. Great tips.

    We have visited twice during the holidays but did not do the processional. I think my husband and I would enjoy it, not sure about my kids. What we loved was visiting the Epcot resorts and seeing the beautiful decorations and gingerbread houses!
