2010 Candlelight Processional Narrator List!!

[acm563]

My bet is on Edward James Olmos around the Dec 22 time frame as he is normally the narrator every year around that time. He is the BEST in my opinion and we have been very disappointed that he has been narrating so late in the month the past few years as we normally go between the 12-17th. You will not be disappointed if he is the narrator you get!

I wonder if Gary Sinise will be back... depends on his filming schedule... and if he's going to see the troops... he did Xmas for a few years...

I would soooooo love to see him there. We're kinda crossing our fingers here that Sinise will be there over 23-26 like he has been in the past. That said, we're moving from AKV-Jambo to BCV on the 20th, so will be on hand to *supposedly* see Trace Adkins there if the rumor if true that he'll be there 18-20. We'd be very, very happy with either Trace or Gary!!!

Just waiting for booking to open up....lol...

I've never done CP before. This year is our first Dec (1st-4th) trip. It'll be just myself and DS9. I'm sure I'll love it, but what about kids? Any reviews out there from 9/10 yo boys?

 

[PAcpl]

I hope they announce who will be the narrator for Nov. 29- Dec. 6 soon because i have no idea who Isabella Rossellini is and her last day is on our first night.

The only thing I know about Isabella Rossellini is she dated Madonna years ago. I know nothing about her acting carrier.

I think your child would be fine, especially if he loves Christmas music. I have a five year old who I know will sit through it and really enjoy it. I also have a two year old who will enjoy it, but may not be able to sit for the entire event. (That's when Daddy will remove her, while Mommy continues to enjoy the show!)

Have you seen a video of the event? You could always show him a part of it online and see what his reaction is. Here's a link: http://www.wdwinfo.com/holidays/candlelight_processional.htm.

Wasn't Isabella Rosellini on Ross' "list" on Friends? Then he took her off and met her in real life the next day?

Has anyone seen Marlee Matlin doe the Candelight Procession?
I will be there for the end of the year to celebrate the New Year At Epcot and always catch at least 2 of the Candelight Processions but not sure if I will with her.
Whenever I see her on TV or talk shows I have a very hard time understanding her. I can understand what she is saying but not sure whether it is her volume or tone but I miss every few words. It is like I hear some of what she says but some of it just goes quiet to my ears.
I have seen so many great narrators. My favorite still is Levar Burton, he just watched the choir in awe. And I got a kick out of him introducing his dad (An Epcot CM back then) to the audience.
Jodie Benson was good but I just couldn't get past "Ariel" doing the Candelight Procession.
Brian Dennehy is my ex's cousin so I can't say anything about him..lol
Gary Sinese had an of night when I saw him, he made 4 or 5 obvious mistakes, mispronunciations and skipping and going back. I am sure it is a hard thing to do though, I wouldn't want to do it, but it was my only night seeing him so I didn't get a chance to see him do it right.
So many more and looking to so many more in the future.

I wasn't sure, so I googled it. There is video of her as narrator on You Tube and she uses sign language while someone else reads. Not sure if that is how she does the entire performance or just part of it. Here is a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbhVL6uxkm4.

We saw her Dec. 2008 and she signed the whole thing and someone else voiced it. At the end she actually said Merry Christmas to everyone. I thought it was really cool!

We saw him 2 years ago and he was awesome! He was totally into it and even got a little emotional at the end. It was very touching.

We are first-timers and we are looking forward to the show. I have a 5 year old son to plan for and I was wondering how long the show runs.

We saw her in 2007 a few days before our disney wedding. She was amazing!!!

 

[momof2buzzboys]

Any word on who will be there the first week of December? I wish they would release these. Any word on when they will release the full list?

The show is about 40 minutes long....

Any word on who will be there the first week of December? I wish they would release these. Any word on when they will release the full list?

No word yet on early December. We were initially told the official list would be released by July 31st, with speculation it would be this weekend. Other posters on the boards were told early August. Either way, it should be very soon!

Yes I have seen her do it!!! It was very motivational... She signs most of the time and someone else speaks but at the end she did say a few things... Overall I really enjoyed it!!!

Did anyone hear Whoopi read last year? According to the tentative list...she'll be one of the narrarators while im there...would love to hear feedback!!

Has Trace Adkins ever done CP before? We'll be there for his first day.

I don't know if he has ever done CP before, but I think I could listen to him read a phonebook and be happy. I wish I was there during that time. I am still waiting to see who will be there 11/29-12/5 to see who we get to hear.
