Filed in Christmas, ChristmasInOrlando.com, Disney news, Event Update, Orlando News, Thanksgiving | 17 September, 2008

One of the most popular Orlando Christmas events is the Candlelight Processional, which is part of Epcot's Holidays Around the World.  Every year, fans rush to book reserved seats for the shows featuring the most popular celebrity narrators.

The 2008 line up looks to be pretty stellar:

Nov. 28-30  John O'Hurley (Seinfeld's J. Peterman, and "Dancing With the Stars")
Dec. 1-3  To Be Announced
Dec. 4-6  Brian Stokes Mitchell (Broadway)
Dec. 7-9  Virginia Madsen ("Dune" and "Fire with Fire")
Dec. 10-12  Marlee Matlin (TV's "The West Wing", and "Dancing With the Stars")
Dec. 13-15  Monique Coleman ("High School Musical 2")
Dec. 16-18  Chita Rivera (Broadway)
Dec. 19-21  Abigail Breslin ("Little Miss Sunshine")
Dec. 22-24  Stephen Curtis Chapman (Christian music's most-decorated artist)
Dec. 25-27  Edward James Olmos  (TV's "Miami Vice and "Stand And Deliver" )
Dec. 28-30  Angela Bassett ("How Stella Got Her Groove Back" and "What's Love Got to Do With It") and Courtney Vance (TV's "Law & Order: Criminal Intent")

This year's newest calendar addition is husband and wife duo Angela Bassett and Courtney Vance.  We believe this might be the first time in the event's history that a team of celebrity narrators took on the official role.

Speaking of history, we've posted our exclusive historical list of celebrity narrators through the years, since the first Walt Disney World Candlelight Processional performance in 1971.
