Five more narrators have been revealed for Candlelight Processional, the popular holiday program at Epcot. Disney World’s retelling of the Christmas story through mass choir, live orchestra and celebrity reader resumes Nov. 25.
Among the newly listed are actors who have given voice to major Disney animated characters. Participating are Ming-Na Wen, the speaking voice of Mulan; Jodi Benson, famed for her portrayal of Ariel in “The Little Mermaid”; and Robby Benson, the beast of “Beauty and the Beast.”
The additions almost fill out the season for the event, which takes place three times nightly at the theme park’s America Gardens Theatre. There appears to be a three-day gap in the schedule beginning Dec. 7.
The Candlelight Processional lineup, subject to change, current stands at:
Nov. 25-27: Steven Curtis Chapman
Nov. 28-Dec. 1: Neil Patrick Harris
Dec. 2-3: Whoopi Goldberg
Dec. 4-6: Edward James Olmos

Candlelight Processional is included in regular Epcot admission. Disney sells a dinner package for the event that guarantees seating.
