Candlelight Processional for 2004

[lwilliam]

Is there a list posted who the speakers will be at this
year's Candlelight Processional? - thanks.

 

[WDSearcher]

These are not in any specific order as yet, but the following narrators have been confirmed for this year’s Candlelight Ceremony: Marlee Matlin, Rita Moreno, Kirk Franklin, Joshua Morrow, Hal Holbrook, Steven Curtis Chapman, Edward James Olmos, and Levar Burton. Gary Sinise is still tentative for Christmas week.

Okay, since I'll be at WDW for the first time in mid December, how do you get tickets for the candlelight processional, and how does it work?

Thanks

You don't need tickets. It's set up in the World Showcase, in the back by the American Adventure. We came across it, by accident, our last trip. Just hopped in line and sat down.

In the past you could do a priority seating dinner package that would allow you to get in a special line and get good seats..you'd still have to arrive a bit early to get premo choice seats--but the point is that the line of the "priority seaters" gets in ahead of the line of those guests who did not get the dinner package (I believe the ps line was to the left of the theatre and the non-ps line was to the right).
It is actually a good dinner deal.
We went in 1998 (long time ago ) and ate at the Rose and Crown Pub and got pretty much from row seats for Cindy Williams (shirley of laverne & .. )...but we went straight to the PS line after dinner (about 1 hour ahead of the CP) and were one of the first in that line.

Does anyone know when the CP dinner packages go on sale? Is it the traditional 90 days out or on a set day?

You might ask on the restaurant posts--but they are fairly easy to get the earlier in the month that you go.

Also--if you call 407-WDW-DINE, they might know specifically.

Last year the PS packages for CP werre available in late August, well in advance of the 90 days. Watcht hese boards or call Disney Dining fromt ime tot ime, especially towards the end of August.

Lost of times these speical PS's are available early. If you are going to MVMCP you can book certain PS already, too!

Hope that helps!
