Overview
- Disney updated the Candlelight Processional lineup Tuesday, adding Benjamin Bratt for Dec. 2–3 and Josh Groban for Dec. 13–14 while removing Auli’i Cravalho from the originally announced Nov. 27–28 dates now listed as To Be Announced.
- The festival runs nightly Nov. 27 through Dec. 30 at EPCOT’s America Gardens Theatre with three performances at 4:45 p.m., 6:30 p.m., and 8:00 p.m., and the schedule now names narrators for every night except the first two.
- Candlelight Processional Dining Packages that guarantee reserved seating open for booking on October 14, making them the primary way to avoid long standby lines for high‑demand narrators.
- The additions bring the number of first‑time narrators in 2026 to five and give Benjamin Bratt a clear Disney tie from his D23 appearance about Coco 2, factors that reporters say will likely drive strong interest in those dates.
- Narrator lineups have changed in past years so guests should confirm Disney’s official schedule before visiting and consider booking a dining package to secure seats if they plan to see a specific narrator.
