The performances run November 27 through December 30 at America Gardens Theatre. Three shows are scheduled each evening: 4:45 p.m., 6:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Eastern. The opening two nights still have an unannounced narrator.

The production pairs a celebrity reading of the Christmas story with an orchestra and a large choir. Visitors who have a particular narrator in mind should check Disney’s full date-by-date schedule before choosing their evening.

Dining-package reservations open October 14. Packages combine a meal at a participating EPCOT restaurant with reserved seating for a selected performance. Standard seating is offered on a first-come basis.

For holiday trip planning, the next step is to compare narrator dates with restaurant availability and check Disney’s booking page for current package details.
