Dates announced for the 2019 Epcot International Festival of the Holidays

Apr 03, 2019 in "Epcot International Festival of the Holidays"

Posted: Wednesday April 3, 2019 3:07pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

The 2019 Epcot International Festival of the Holidays will take place November 29 to December 30 2019.

This is shorter than last year's Festival of the Holidays which ran from November 18 to December 30, but this due to the extension of the Food and Wine Festival in 2019. Along with kiosks, and storytellers, the Candlelight Processional also returns this year, although celebrity narrators are yet to be announced.

Saw Isabella Rossalini tonight, she did a fantastic job and you could tell how happy she was to be there, I just love when performers show their joy. Also, I don’t care what anyone else thinks Candlelight is the best thing Disney does all year long.

Chita Rivera pulled out due to health issues. Now Warwick Davis is not coming. I'm sure there are some back ups standing by.

The question is... will anyone notice?

Still one of my favorite shows, despite who the host is. But I agree....no Christmas Holiday tag after the new fireworks show is a pretty big let down.

The ol’ Davis switcheroo!

LeeADec 06, 2019

I’ve had an email from Disney to say that Warwick Davis has been replaced with Geena Davis on 21st December. I was looking forward to seeing Warwick but I’m sure Geena will be great too.

They will have time to reload for NYE. There will be additional hardware available by the 4th.

CrazydisneyfanlukeNov 30, 2019

Didn't Disney say last year that it was the final holiday tag? They did not say the same about NYE or 4th, but with the changes being made around World Showcase and the lagoon, I wouldn't be surprised if they just did a simple count down into EF. Harmonious might be up and running for the next 4th, so they may do something then.

4th and NYE, but it looks like the NYE tag is staying, but why not keep the Holiday tag.

TouchdownNov 30, 2019

I think that’s a mistake not having a tag, especially with a brand new ride at DHS. I foresee a sizable migration of guests after seeing Candlelight choose to go to DHS to ride of ROTR at the end of the day.
