Daps From the Past: 2013 Candlelight Processional at Disneyland

For many years now Daps Magic has been filming the first show each night of Disneyland’s Candlelight Processional. 2013 was no exception. Most years saw the same narrating telling the story of Christmas both nights of Candlelight (except that one year when there were multiple nights/weeks of Candlelight). However, 2013 was not a normal year. In 2013, there were two narrators telling the story of Christmas with the help of a mass choir, handbells, fanfare trumpeters, soloists, and an orchestra. The first night of the 2013 Candlelight Processional was narrated by Blair Underwood. The second night saw Kurt Russell taking over.

The nights for the Candlelight Processional in 2013 were December 7th and December 8th. Both Blair Underwood and Kurt Russell both did a fantastic job and were well received by those in attendance. Kurt Russell seemed to enjoy watching the sign language interpreter during the songs. Both narrators could be seen enjoying the performances. There was some rain on Saturday before Candlelight began but thankfully it passed before the evening. On top of that, there was also a Media Appreciation Day that Daps Magic attended. Photos of the weekend can be seen below the two Candlelight Processional videos.
