Disney has made a revision to the 2025 Candlelight Processional lineup at EPCOT. Susan Egan, known to Disney fans as the original Belle in Broadway’s ‘Beauty and the Beast’ and the voice of Meg in ‘Hercules,’ will now narrate the December 3-4 performances, replacing the original listing.
Egan steps in for Jennifer Garner, who is no longer taking part this year.
The Candlelight Processional remains one of EPCOT’s most popular holiday offerings, featuring a full orchestra, mass choir, herald trumpets, and the Voices of Liberty while a celebrity narrator retells the Christmas story at America Gardens Theatre. Shows run nightly at 5:00pm, 6:45pm, and 8:15pm from November 28 through December 30.
Below is the updated narrator lineup with the change reflected for December 3-4.
