Christmas at EPCOT
The holiday season is truly magical at EPCOT. The beautiful Candlelight Processional will return this year. Be sure to check out the schedule for Candlelight Processional narrators HERE and also dining packages for this show HERE.
You will not want to miss out on Olaf’s Scavenger Hunt, the Holiday Cookie Stroll, a new holiday overlay for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, and of course visiting with Santa himself.
One of my (Donna) favorite aspects of the Festival of the Holidays at EPCOT is the storytellers. What exactly is a Holiday Storyteller? These are the performers staged in countries around the World Showcase during the festival. They interact with Guests and share customs and stories from the country they represent. They create an authentic experience for those looking to learn more about the countries!
We now have a complete listing of Storyteller performances and times. With a little planning, I (Donna) was able to enjoy each Storyteller as I made my way around the World Showcase. Get your touring plans ready so you will not miss one of these great Storytellers.
