The celebrations of this time are, without a doubt, the most beautiful and emotional of the year. Regardless of where you are, the atmosphere is filled with a special warmth, good intentions and desire to share. With these feelings as a premise, there are events that have become traditions, such as the case of Candlelight Processional of Disney that every year brings together celebrities to celebrate the story of Christmas.
In essence, the holidays invite us to connect with generosity, love and gratitude and that is the premise of this event that has been celebrated since 1958. It is definitely not an ordinary show. An impressive live choir, an orchestra composed of more than 50 musicians, and the incredible artists of Voices of Libertyall accompanying a narrator who tells the Christmas story.
This year, Luis Fonsi, the Puerto Rican performer with seven Guinness World Records for his song Despacito, opened with the presence of Latinos on the list of famous narrators. Others will also include Eva Longoria, Oscar winner Brendan Fraser, Joey McIntyre, Sterling K. Brown, Jordan Fisher, Steven Curtis Chapman, Audra McDonald and Lisa Ling.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the atmosphere created between the story, the voices and the heraldic trumpets is impressive and moving.
Annually, the Candlelight Processional A couple of dates are celebrated at Disneyland and the entire Christmas season at Epcot, within the framework of its Epcot International Festival of the Holidaysduring which visitors can enjoy Christmas dishes from different countries, storytelling, meetings with Santa and other festive activities that close with this moving concert.
It must be said that this event, which will take place until December 30, is included in the general admission to the park, but to guarantee a reserved place, visitors can purchase a Christmas dinner package that includes it.
New year, new show
And December has also been the right month to present a new night show at Epcot. This is Luminous The Symphony of Us, a dazzling spectacle of fireworks, fountains, lights and music that seeks to generate a connection between different moments in our lives, from childhood to the experience of unconditional love that is felt when we become parents.
To the repertoire of original pieces composed expressly for this show, emotional songs from different Disney films are added, such as You’ll Be in My Heart, from Tarzan, or You’ve Got a Friend in Me from Toy Story, with the challenge of conquering the demanding visitors of this park, who have already expressed some dissatisfaction because they expect more creative shows.
With this launch, the birth of Walt Disney was also celebrated, who has been commemorated with a new sculpture that hopes to accompany visitors in their social media posts and family photographs.
