After shuffling narrators around and losing one, Disney has announced the final celebrity narrator for the 2026 Candlelight Processional at EPCOT.
2026 EPCOT Candlelight Processional Celebrity Narrators
Auli’i Cravalho, the voice of Moana in the 2016 animated film and its 2024 sequel (and who previously narrated the 2021 Candlelight Processional), was originally the narrator for the November 27 and 28 performances, but she dropped out in early October. The dates were then listed as “to be announced” until today, when Disney finally announced the narrator for the opening weekend of the 2026 Candlelight Processional: Jordan Fisher.
While Fisher’s name may not be immediately recognizable, his voice should be: he sings the theme song for the Magic Kingdom “Happily Ever After” fireworks spectacular and recorded the original song “Together We Set Sail” for Disney Cruise Line, including performing on the ship-shaped 2021 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Float. Fisher also won season 25 of “Dancing with the Stars.” He has also appeared in Grease: Live and the Netflix film To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.
Other new celebrity narrators announced for this year’s lineup are Benjamin Bratt (December 2-3), who narrated the 2025 Disneyland Candlelight Processional; Josh Groban (December 13-14), who recently spilled some tea in a Disneyland Teacup Confessions video; Lacey Chabert; and Jason Kelce. Fan-favorite narrator Neil Patrick Harris is also returning after being absent from last year’s lineup.
2026 EPCOT Candlelight Processional
The Candlelight Processional is performed during the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays from November 27 to December 30, 2026. The times of the Candlelight Processional have been shifted earlier this year, so take note if it’s a part of your holiday park plans.
Seating is first-come, first-served and often fills up fast. To guarantee a seat at one of the three nightly performances, plus enjoy a meal beforehand, guests can book a Candlelight Processional Dining Package or make a same-day dining reservation at Regal Eagle Smokehouse.
