They have not been announced but it usually starts in late November and goes through Dec 29 or 30. 3 shows a night - 5:00, 6:45, 8:15. Illuminations is at 9:30 during this time. Last year they started taking package reservations in August. The narrators are not usually announced until October. You can cancel up to 48 hours before, so if you want a different night, you can switch depending on availability.
We've gone the past 5 years and usually see it twice during the week, different narrators. One problem last year that we did not run into in previous years is some nights had torrential rain. Luckily the night we had the package was OK but the second night we planned as standby we had to switch.
I asked yesterday and a CM at DVC told me the dates were not published yet. Hoping to get a jump on planning, too. Especially since this is our first trip during the Christmas season.
