Recently, we shared dates for this year’s Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Parties at Magic Kingdom Park. And today, we’re back with another holiday update for all of you vacation planners out there! We’re happy to share that the 2018 Epcot International Festival of the Holidays will return to the park November 18 – December 30. The Candlelight Processional also returns this year and for the first time, the popular holiday tradition will open for Thanksgiving on November 22 and run through December 30.
The Epcot International Festival of the Holidays invites guests to discover holiday cheer throughout the park and across all 11 World Showcase pavilions. Special entertainment, storytellers, seasonal favorites at Holiday Kitchens, and eye-catching holiday decor are all part of the fun. Evenings during this time are topped off with a special holiday presentation of “IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth.”
The Candlelight Processional, a holiday must-do for many Epcot guests, is a retelling of the traditional Christmas story read by a celebrity narrator, accompanied by a massed choir and live orchestra.
Keep your eye on the Disney Parks Blog in coming months for updates on this year’s Candlelight narrators and dining package information.
