Leslie Uggams has joined a host of international stars to celebrate Disney World EPCOT's annual Holiday Festival. On Dec. 9-10, during the beautiful Candlelight Processional, Leslie will narrate the beloved story of Christmas backed by a 50-piece orchestra, herald trumpets, and the Voices of Liberty Choir.
"I am thrilled to be part of this traditional celebration," Leslie shares. "The holiday season is very special to my family and me, and I am so grateful that I will get to experience the Candlelight Processional at EPCOT with them, especially my granddaughter, who has never been to Disney World. It's a magical time of year, and we'll be in a magical place together."
In addition to Leslie, featured narrators include Susan Egan, Marlee Matlin, Henry Winkler, Gary Sinise, Brendan Fraser, and Sheryl Lee Raph. The event takes place nightly through December 30 at 5:00 p.m., 6:45 p.m, and 8:15 p.m.
