There are Disney fans – and then there are Disney “fanatics.”

Someone who buys the original Disneyland sign probably falls into the second category. That’s John Stamos.

An actor, producer, musician and singer, Stamos (“General Hospital,” “Full House,” “Fuller House”) makes no secret about his Disney passions, especially since recently getting married and having his first child this year.

Stamos, who has previously performed in the “Candlelight Processional” at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resort, graced the America Gardens Theatre stage for a return visit as celebrity narrator for the 2018 “Candlelight Processional,” part of the Epcot International Festival of the Holidays.

We caught up with John before his second night of performances at Epcot, where he talked of family holiday traditions, favorite “Candlelight” memories and his love for all things Disney.
