Disney has announced the **2026 Candlelight Processional celebrity narrators**, including three new names this year: **Robin Roberts, Jason Kelce and Lacey Chabert**.

What Families Should Know
If your family has a favorite narrator, these are good dates to make note of now.
Regular seating for Candlelight Processional is **first-come, first-served**, and Disney says **Candlelight Processional Dining Packages go on sale October 14**. Those packages include a meal at select EPCOT restaurants and guaranteed seating for one performance.
What I like about this update is that it gives families something practical to plan around early. If there’s a narrator your group would really love to see, it may be worth building that EPCOT day around those dates instead of leaving it to chance later.
