Candlelight Processional in Disneyland Expands to 20 Nights

Walt Disney Company has announced that Disneyland general park guests are going to not only have the ability to attend the Candlelight Ceremony and Processional this year in Disneyland but they will have 20 nights to enjoy the special holiday event. In past years Disney has had only two nights of the event and they were reserved seating and invited guests only. Regular Disneyland park goers could have a view from roped off areas or standing room only, but, rarely were any tickets available for purchase and then only to D23 members or select groups. This holiday season, in addition to the two invitation only nights the general visitors, with a special ticket purchase, Disneyland visitors will have 20 different nights to choose from and the option of the dining plan, similar to Walt Disney World’s Candlelight Ceremony and Processional.

The Candlelight Ceremony and Processional is one of the oldest traditions at Disneyland dating back to 1958 when Walt Disney started this annual event. The choir of the processional includes Walt Disney Company employees who vie for a spot every year in this special telling of the Christmas story. Celebrity guests are invited each year to narrate the story and a full orchestra plays in the background.

Disneyland has not yet released any information regarding the celebrity guests or pricing of the dining packages that will accompany this year’s event. The special nights will be from December 1-20, with December 1st and 2nd reserved for invited guests. In Walt Disney World they have announced a partial list of the guest celebrities, including Whoopi Goldberg, Neil Patrick Harris, and Andy Garcia with adult package pricing ranging from $32.99 and $66.99.
