The Candlelight Processional is hosted in the American Gardens Theater in the World Showcase at Epcot. Since we had a dining package reservation, when we showed up for the processional around 6:30, there was seating reserved in the middle area! We had a amazing view even though it was a little further back! This year, the Epcot International Festival of the Holidays was presented by AdventHealth. Gloria Estefan was our speaker and she was phenomenal! She was singing along with the choir too and dancing! It was such an awesome experience! The time went by so fast! The Candlelight processional was a retelling of the Christmas story, with a 50-Piece orchestra and a choir! This was one of the best experiences I've had at Disney World and I am so glad my family had booked the dining package for the Candlelight Processional. There was a standby line for the Candlelight Processional, but it was long! There are three shows each evening though when the Candlelight Processional is showing over the holidays. You'll want to check online to see who the speaker is for each evening! There are so many different celebrities that come and narrator the Candlelight Processional! This is a must go see if you're visiting Epcot over the Holidays.

Beautiful. Stunning. An absolutely "must-do" if you're at Disney during the holidays…read more I'm a local and annual passholder. Hubby and I see this every year. We've been married 20 years. This should definitely sell you on seeing it: I am a pagan and look forward to it every year. Granted, I see it as fiction, but the choir - Oh my! The choir will send shivers up your spine! So, if you are like me and do not have a Christian bone in your body, I'm telling you, this is still totally worth your time (just try not to giggle at the narration). Ahhhh... almost forgot. Speaking of the narration, we have seen some of the most amazing narrators over the years. So many famous people! Neil Patrick Harris is always my favourite! Tip: Check the schedule each year for a list of narrators and the specific dates.

Make sure to check out the Disney World Mobile application for show times. Typically, the showtimes are every 45 minutes. It lasts about 15 minutes long. You'll get to listen to inspiring vocal performances by the team members inside the Pavilion. If you sit inside the rotunda, the sound amplifies! It's amazing!! You'll hear a variety of American folk and patriotic songs. Their voices are beautiful, and it's in such harmony!! Each time my family has watched The Voices of Liberty, there is usually a different song or harmony! It's a great show, and I highly recommend visiting The Voices of Liberty while you're in Epcot! It's a must-see!!

I love how they celebrate all of the different countries holiday traditions. This includes of course the different food and drink kiosks. But it also includes entertainers from each of the different countries that highlight the different traditions they hold. Some of my personal favorites are meeting with Father Christmas in the UK pavilion, and the Japan pavilion showcasing their traditional dolls and how they bring in the new year. Overall: A++ I've got has plenty of festivals throughout the year, but this is one you should definitely make sure to go to and experience all the different countries holiday traditions!

We try to make it to a viewing every time we visit the park.

Let me just start off by saying this... If I could make it five stars larger like five giant Mickey…read moreMouse gold stars encrusted in diamonds... That is exactly what I would rate this show. I shouldn't even call it the show because it is an orchestra masterpiece performed live! So let's recap the stars here that's five stars all day long five stars five stars five stars. OK OK I get it so if it's so awesome let me tell you about it... But here it comes. This show Pixar live was a seasonal, and I guarantee you to either continue or come back annually or biannually because it was a smash hit. As a season pass holders over the last few weeks since our passes came out of summer black out we really gotten caught up on our visits and unfortunately prior to Sunday, 26 August we were unable to get a fast pass for the show and it always feels up to maximum capacity! So I said to myself self, what's the deal? Why is it so awesome these people are asking you to tell the wife so awesome so let me tell you. The show is located inside the beauty in the beast theater right next to phantasmic. The shows were in the afternoon and early evening, obviously after the beauty in the beast performances for the day we're done. We weren't really sure what to expect because first what I heard The music of Pixar, I am vision and a bunch of characters you know flopping around and dancing on the stage to Pixar songs. Well, just not for kids but I figured why not give it a try. It wasn't until we actually read the description that we saw that there was a Philharmonic Orchestra that was playing the Pixar music... Mind officially blown. There were plenty of other visits from Pixar and Disney characters booty, buzz Doug, Jessie the cowgirl and a bunch of others but the real tree was A surprise preshow by the green army soldier's! Do you guys or a riot they ran up and down the isles grabbing stuff playing with stuff getting people up and about they were really whooping it up I got a Telya. Then the sergeant arrived who actually was miked in speaking and he was absolutely too too too funny it made for the most enjoyable preshow I've been to and I can't even tell you how long. And this was just leading up to it was going to be an amazing show. So lo and behold let me quickly review the performance... It goes without saying that it was absolutely phenomenal phenomenal absolutely phenomenal picture puts such incredible emphasis on the movie store so that it draws so much emotion out of you without you even realizing it. In fact if you take a look at the first several minutes of the movie up there is virtually no talking whatsoever but it's one of the most emotionally and touching portions of the movie and buy seen it before live with clips of the movie that corresponded with that music was absolutely my blind to see how powerful beautiful music was and enjoy it with the visuals of the movies we know so well. It goes without saying now that it was absolutely fantastic. But it's with great regret that I say to you for now as of August 27, 2017 the show was seasonal and had since closed. Again we were so lucky to see it the day before the clothes but in all seriousness it's really one of those things I hope and pray to God that they will bring back for a regular show. I have quite a few video clips and pictures take a look at them on my profile! Thanks for looking and if you're looking to come to come to Orlando, check out my other reviews I love to show love for Orlando and Disney. So lots of reviews and lots of pictures to get you hyped up for your trip! Shoot even add me as a buddy and you'll see all my Disney reviews as a rollout. Now in the words of Mickey Mouse himself "see you real soon"!!

I thought it would just be an orchestra playing music from Pixar movies, but they included clips from the movies playing in the background. Also, before they start playing the music, characters from the movie would come out and do a little skit before the music starts so that was a special treat. If you thought you would only tear up while watching the Pixar movies, think again. Upon hearing the music and seeing the movie clips, I felt tears in my eyes.. yes I'm talking about you, Up!! So if you have time or need a place to hide out from the rain, this is a good place to do so. It's in the same theatre as the Beauty and the Beast show.

I've seen it a few times, and I don't think I've bored of it yet. Hint: get a place about 30 minutes early. The best places are the ones that don't have standing or seating across the way from you. That way, all the dancers/performers/characters that pass that way won't really ever have a reason to turn their back to you. We found a seat on a bench in such an area the other day and my 2 year-old neice was THRILLED with all the attention she got from all of the performers!

It delivers spectacle and nostalgia at first glance and it sets the tone well. Visually it is impressive enough that you will take a moment just to look around before you think about the food. The food was better than expected. The blue cheese and walnut salad was fresh and well balanced with the right level of acidity. The entree portions were generous. The steak was cooked properly and came with a sauce that had depth. The chicken dish was flavorful and plated cleanly with roasted vegetables that had real color and brightness. Even the fries were elevated. The rose dessert is visually beautiful and clearly designed for photos. It tasted pleasant and light. Service was excellent. Our waitress was on point from the moment we sat down. Our glasses were never empty. She checked in often, smiled, and made the dinner feel warm and welcoming. We were lucky with our seating. When Beast came out for his performance, we were front and center which elevated the entire experience. I never did anything like this as a child, so experiencing it now as an adult with my boyfriend felt personal and special. It was money well spent to step into a childhood dream and enjoy it with someone I love. This is a fantastic experience that Disney offers to bring fantasy alive for children, and for adults who never had the chance to see it that way. I could not have been more pleased. In terms of value, the price matched the experience. It is not a restaurant I would visit solely for food, but that is not the point. The food supports the fantasy. The fantasy carries the experience. If you want immersion, nostalgia, beauty, and a well executed performance layered into dinner, then Beauty and the Beast delivers.

There are chalk artists drawing in front of World of Disney as well as along the marina at West Side. There are also art and crafts kiosks set up around West Side displaying different types of art. This passed year in 2013 there was also food trucks scattered around for the event which was a pretty festive touch! If you're into art I would highly suggest popping by for this event!
