I was able to attend the Candlelight Processional last year for the first time and listen to Gary Sinise narrate the story of Christmas. It was one of the most amazing things I have ever had an opportunity to do in Epcot. I highly recommend making reservations early or planning on spending time waiting in line to hear these amazing celebrities. This is something you won’t want to miss.
