Jordan Fisher Completes the 2026 EPCOT Candlelight Processional Narrator Schedule

Disney has officially completed the celebrity narrator lineup for the 2026 EPCOT Candlelight Processional. Jordan Fisher has joined the schedule to host the opening nights of the holiday event on November 27 and November 28.

The opening weekend dates were previously left as to be announced after Auli’i Cravalho exited the lineup earlier in October. With Fisher filling those final slots, every night of the festival now has a confirmed celebrity narrator, running from the event's opening evening through December 30.

Fisher is familiar to Disney audiences, having previously served as a celebrity narrator in 2023 and 2025. He is also known for singing the "Happily Ever After" song for the Magic Kingdom fireworks show and winning season 25 of Dancing with the Stars.

The complete 2026 Candlelight Processional narrator schedule features several returning favorites alongside five first-time narrators:

– Nov. 27 & 28: Jordan Fisher

– Dec. 2 & 3: Benjamin Bratt (NEW)

The Candlelight Processional takes place during the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, which runs from November 27 through December 30, 2026. Performances are held nightly at the America Gardens Theatre at 4:45 PM, 6:30 PM, and 8:00 PM. Showtimes have been shifted 15 minutes earlier this year to align with EPCOT's 9:00 PM park closing time during the festival.

Guests planning to attend can secure a guaranteed seat by booking a Candlelight Processional Dining Package, which pairs a meal at one of sixteen participating table-service restaurants with a same-day show. Regal Eagle Smokehouse also offers a limited, same-day dining package option on a first-come, first-served basis. Regular seating without a dining package is available on a first-come, first-served basis at the America Gardens Theatre, though these spots fill up quickly on popular narrator nights. Booking for dining packages opened on October 14.
