Candelight Speakers

[hookedonthemagic]

Hey everybody!
WOO HOO!
I just called Disney to see if they could tell me who the speakers are during my trip. Here's what I got:

Nov 24-26 David Robinson (of the San Antonio Spurs)
Nov 27-29 John O'Hurley
Nov 30-Dec 2 Rita Moreno
Dec 3 - 8 Open
Dec. 9-11 Steven Curtis Chapman
Dec 12-14 Maureen McGovern
Dec 15-17 Kirk Cameron
Dec 18-20 Lou Diamond Phillips
Dec 21-23 Cuba Gooding Jr.
Dec 24-26 Gary Sinese
Dec 27-30 Marlee Maitlin

We love Steven Curtis Chapman so I asked about him, but I'm booked from the 17th through the 26th.


I just updated this! I felt bad for not having the dates for you others, so I called back and got the rest of the speakers.

Aww, lucky! You could go see Gary Sinise!!! I really want to see him one of these times. Hopefully next year...

They have a lot of good people this year..Cuba Gooding Jr would be cool to see, so would Kirk Cameron. Isn't he from Growing Pains (I think that's the name of the show...)

Have a wonderful trip!!!

I wonder who is there in November?? Did they give you any info about when you can book the dinner package????????

Yeah, I think Kirk Cameron would be cool. And yes he's from Growing Pains. He also has shows now on some of the Christian networks. I think I've got some pretty good choices.....now which one to choose?????

Ya know, I didn't ask. I was so excited that they actually had the speakers, that I forgot....

Any news on speakers beyond Dec. 26? We want to go Dec. 27 or 28.

OK, well, I couldn't resist calling too and got a very pleasant CM. He told me they still don't know when CP packages would be released but he was guessing still a couple of weeks away as they deal with the F&W events.

BUT, he did tell me that John O'Hurley (Seinfeld and Dancing with the Stars) is tentatively scheduled for 11/28!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE HIM so I hope it's true!!

THAT'S AWESOME!!!! I love him, too!! He would be super-fantabulous!

And oh, as a confession, sometimes I just have to call to ask some sort of question just so that I can actually talk to a CM, hear a little "magical music" and feel closer to it all.

 

[Cinderumbrella]

I'm sure you're not the only one!!!

 

[Straitlover]

Well, what about Dec 13-16???? Auuugh, I'm dying to know!

See if my crazy choir director (j/k!) hadn't scheduled our Christmas cantata for 12/9-10, I could have gone on my orignal dates of 12/9-12 and seen my buddy SCC! Oh, well, at least I get to see him Aug 19th along w/ Third Day!

I thought he said the 12th was Maragaret McGovern ? It wasn't anyone I had ever heard of before

Oh, I am doing a happy dance. I had so hoped we would be there for Cuba Gooding Jr, and we are!!! WOO HOO!!

I feel your pain! We love SCC! I am heart-broken that we'll miss him. Darn those Christmas cantatas (just joking).

So have you seen Gary Sinise? How was he???

 

[hookedonthemagic]

Hey everybody!!!

Just called back to WDW (I know - I'm pathetic) and got the rest of the dates and speakers for ya.
I updated my first post!!!! Happy planning!!!!!

 

[01Sweetpea]

Someone want to tell me WHO David Robinson is (other than a basketball player) ...and WHY is he reading????? Seems like eveyone is either an actor or in show business. A BASKETBALL player???

I was really hoping for Cuba Gooding, Jr. for our only date available...11/24

 

[Liz]

Our dates will work with Cuba Gooding Jr. or Lou Diamond Phillips. Any opinions on which would be better? Thanks so much to the OP for getting this info!!!

 

[cinderella97]

Yippee!! I was hoping for Gary Sinise, but now DH want Cuba Gooding. Such Decisions!! Now to wait when we can call.....I'm so excited!!
