With a choir of hundreds, 50-piece orchestra, and celebrity narrator, there really is nothing else like the Candlelight Processional. There are three shows a night and usually the 3rd one is easy to get into via standby queue. But if you don’t to worry, I do recommend getting the dining package.
Which Celebrity Narrator are you most excited about this year?
Stopped making the package reservations when they made it 2 dining credits…..did it all the time when it was just 1……
NPH is the only one on the list who we’d be really excited to see, although Joe Morton would be pretty cool. The rest are just as dull as can be. Maybe they’ll get some interesting folks to fill in the available dates, but I’m not counting on it.
We haven’t bothered with the Candlelight Processional in several years due to the fact that you almost HAVE to have a dining package in order to get in anymore.
