Two of the most anticipated celebrity narrators for Epcot's Candlelight Processional — actor Neil Patrick Harris and Broadway star Jonathan Groff, the voice of Kristoff from Frozen — will be telling the Christmas story before a full choir to help kick off the opening of the popular holiday celebration. Harris, a huge Disney fan and frequent celebrity narrator of the Candlelight Processional, will be there Sunday through Tuesday and Groff can witness firsthand how much Walt Disney World has turned into Frozen Central when he narrates Dec. 3-4. But first, Jodi Benson, the voice of the Little Mermaid and Barbie in Toy Story 2, takes the mic on the first nights, Friday and Saturday. The celebration is included with daily admission: $94, $88 ages 3-9, 2 and younger free.
