HOLIDAY 2009 D23 CHARTER MEMBER-ONLY SPECIAL EVENTS:
December 6, 2009 – D23’s Candlelight Spectacular at Disneyland
For more than 50 years, Disneyland’s Candlelight Processional and Ceremony has heralded in the Christmas season at “The Merriest Place on Earth.” This year’s Candlelight Processional and Ceremony serves as the centerpiece of D23’s first holiday season celebration during a magical day of festivities created exclusively for D23 Members and their guests. This can’t-miss event begins with a day enjoying the holiday splendor of Disneyland including reserved seating at Disneyland’s A Christmas Fantasy Parade. When night falls, D23 Members and their guests will gather inside Stage 17 at Disney’s California Adventure where a winter wonderland awaits with a sumptuous private dinner prepared by Disneyland’s Executive Chef—with a special show starring some of Disney’s most beloved characters donning their holiday best. Later that evening, D23 Members and their guests will be escorted to reserved seating for this year’s Candlelight Processional and Ceremony, a breathtaking retelling of the Christmas story with a celebrity narrator, the Disneyland Orchestra and the Disney Employee Choir. Following the Candlelight Processional and Ceremony, the party returns to Stage 17 where everyone will enjoy a sweet treat and a special “behind-the-candles” look at the history of holiday traditions at Disneyland, as well as the special care and work that goes into making the parks look their best for the season. Add in some D23 magic, and this is sure to be an once-in-a-lifetime experience!
