2025 Epcot Festival of the Holidays

Does anyone know then they will announce the food booths for the festival? It seems like they are waiting till the last minute.
 

Last year it seems like they were announced on November 14, so I am expecting it any day now! Of course, it can’t be too much longer with the festival starting so soon.
 
I'm looking forward to the entertainment in the countries. I love the storytellers, etc. and learning how they celebrate the holidays. Might drop by Joyful and have a listen but won't be doing Candlelight. I'll be enjoying a few booths with savory items and mostly just enjoying the decorations. Just as an aside, my favorite park during the holidays is HS, I love the retro feel of it. 2nd favorite is AK, the puppets just make me giggle.
 
Just received notification that unfortunately Jennifer Garner is no longer the narrator on December 3-4. It is now Susan Egan. I understand things happen and know the show is so much more than the narrator (and am equally sure Susan Egan will be wonderful) but I can't help but be a little disappointed since as someone local-ish I do pick the night we go based on narrator. Oh well, holiday time at EPCOT and Candlelight are always terrific.

Thank you for booking a dining package for the Candlelight Processional at EPCOT.

There has been a change to the entertainment for the evening of your reservation. Jennifer Garner will not be narrating on December 3-4, 2025. As a replacement, Susan Egan will be the celebrity narrator on those dates.

Susan has made powerful impressions in theatre, film, television, animation and music, both in front of the lights and behind the scenes. She portrayed Belle in the first production of Disney's Beauty and the Beast on Broadway, voiced Megara in the Disney Animation classic, Hercules, and was recently named the godmother of Disney Cruise Line's newest ship, the Disney Destiny.

Jen Garner was the draw for me. I am disappointed.

I totally get it and I’m sorry for the disappointment, but we saw Egan recently on the member cruise and I suspect she will put on a better overall show than Garner. I would love to see her but we are going to miss her by 48 hours.
 
We have been doing Disney since 2008 and our trip in 4 weeks will be the first time we have been between Thanksgiving and Christmas. We caught candlelight processional on one Thanksgiving trip years ago but this is our first time for full fledged festival of the holidays. We are super excited. Our 22 year old will be with us and this is the first time with 3 "legal" adults.
