Walt Disney World Resorts and Parks has so much to offer families when it comes to celebrating the holidays, but our family favorite is the holidays at Epcot. If you have never experienced Epcot during the Christmas season I highly suggest adding it to your next holiday vacation as you will not be disappointed. Your family will enjoy Epcot beautifully decorated for the holiday season, special offerings throughout the park and songs of the season with live performances of Joyful! A Gospel Celebration of the Season.
Holidays at Epcot are unlike all other parks as you not only can enjoy the beautiful decorations, but your family is immersed in the chance to learn about holiday heritage from around the globe as you make your way through World Showcase. This is a wonderful opportunity for both young and old to learn what Christmas looks like in 11 different countries. My daughter looks forward to making her way through each country every year and then comes back to tell her class of the holidays in one of the countries.
On top of finding your way through World Showcase, your family is sure to enjoy the Candlelight Processional at the American Gardens Theatre. This experience is incredible as each night the Christmas story is told by a celebrity narrator along with a 50-piece orchestra and mass choir. This seasonal showcase is absolutely beautiful and is definitely an experience like no other. This awe-inspiring joyful event is included in your Epcot park tickets and is available nightly from November 27, 2015 – December 30, 2015. While this event is free to you, I highly suggest incorporating it with the Candlelight Processional Dining Package as it will guarantee your family a seat at a showing while not having to wait in the standby line.
The night ends at Epcot with an enhanced holiday Illuminations show on World Showcase Lagoon. This nightly show incorporates the traditional Illuminations with special holiday spirit with a musical finale that is sure to bring joy to your family!
