Candlelight Narrator?

[bondgirl007]

Does anyone know who the narrator is? If not, does anyone know when they will announce it? Thanks

I haven't heard anything but details should come out around now.

 

[bondgirl007]

I am really curious. Waiting patiently...not

Last year the word got out later than ever- I think it was around November 20th. It's interesting that WDW posts their narrator lineup during the Summer, and DL's Candlelight information is always a bit under the radar.

WDW sells hundreds of tickets and has dozens of shows. If people want to plan on the right speaker there, versus the only speaker at DL, they need time to plan for it.

I would love it if they would announce it soon. We will be at the 5pm Sunday performance.

Sure, WDW is a whole different ball game. I'm happy with any narrator, really. It's the choir that really gives me chills.

It's awesome how so much of the choir is made of CMs too.

I've never seen the candlelight processional at either park. Anyone able to give any tips for seeing this thing at DL this year? Buying tickets for seats is not in the budget for Christmas, so we will be trying to check it out from wherever we can grab a spot.

You can't get tickets anyhow. In WDW you can.

Just plan to find a standing spot early. I'd suggest either waiting for the first crowd to leave and taking thier spots, or waiting from when the parade ends.

That's the rumor I heard, but no confirmation yet. Also there seems to be an AP experience they are trying to sell to select AP holders. Its discussed over on MousePlanet.....at a heft cost of $2500/couple!

 

[bondgirl007]

I would be happy with Gary Sinise

No kidding! As far as I've seen its invite only.
AP Candlelight experience

The experience kicks off with a welcome reception and dinner at the Grand Californian Hotel the evening of Sunday, December 4, followed by reserved seating for the 8pm Candlelight Processional.

Monday morning (December 5, Walt Disney's birthday), guests attend a sunrise breakfast at the Plaza Inn, and take a pre-opening tour of Disneyland with Disney Legends and creative staff, including Dave Smith, Tony Baxter, Bob Gurr, Marty Sklar and David Caranci.

Event guests also receive reserved seating for A Christmas Fantasy Parade, and a tour of Walt's apartment above the Main Street Fire Station. The two-day event includes a one-night stay at the Grand Californian Hotel, and is $2500 per couple. Additional guests can be added for $1000 per person, but must share the same hotel room.

I second this sentiment! Source: CM friend who is in said choir.

Thanks for the confirmation. That was the last piece to fall in place for our trip. I had to choose World of Color or Candlelight Processional. Glad to have that decided

some of if would be awesome (a visit to Walt's private apartment!?!) but some of it doesn't make sense (entrance for both days... ummm I'm an AP holder, I guess maybe for those with block out dates?).

I asked DH if he would do this for me as my Christmas present... he just laughed at me... it's all good... we will actually be there on the 6th anyhow!

So it seems that all people do not have to be AP's like the other AP parties? Or maybe some passes are blacked out those days?
