Ugh, this year has been agony waiting for them to name them! This is my first year and I was using last year's thread as an arbiter of how it would go and like almost all of them were named by the end of July last year! What is the hold-up!
Now August is almost over and we haven't had a single new narrator named in over a month!

 

[Mambo Junkie]

Yes! We arrive on the 28th and have designated the 29th as the Harry Potter day, and I'll leave on the 5th so I pretty much don't know who the narrators will be for my stay. With my ADRs, I have 2 possible days I can go and am holding reservations for both.

I was actually thinking that tomorrow might be the **magical** day!

That would be great news!

I agree. I have an ADR but might cancel it depending on who the narrator is going to be. For example I can't really imagine listening to Sharon Stone narrate the story of the birth of Christ. Hopefully, they will release a more complete soon.

 

[DisneyMama21]

Oh wouldn't that be nice if it was tomorrow! I have ressies for Dec 1st but could also do the 3rd and want to know my choices!! ;-)

I have 1 for Nov 30 (which I'm going to cancel because it's the evening show and I don't want that late (little ones), a lunch ressie on Dec 1st, and a 3:50 on Dec 4th. I'm really leaning toward lunch on the 1st because I have dinner at Akershus after the show and the 4th is pretty much the only day we can do AK. Still hanging on to it though.

 

[DisneyMama21]

No new postings on the WDW website yet Still can't help checking every hour or so...

Count me in on the watch too! I have an ADR for Dec 1st, and the rest of my schedule/ADR's pretty locked in, so that would be the day to go for me, but like a PP said, I don't know how some people would be!

Waiting to see who will be doing Dec 24.

LOL Maybe it's because I was always a fan of Sharon Stone in alot of her '80s movies like King Solomon's Mines and it's sequel, but I don't tend to associate her with her Basic Instinct part, even if that's her most famous role, I actually really love her voice, it's very distinct and I would gladly look forward to seeing her if she fit my dates. But I mean, I understand if how all you can think of with her is her Basic Instinct movie and THAT scene, how you might find her a distraction for a XMAS show.

But I consider her a pretty charismatic star, such as in interviews and red carpet appearances, who has a really lovely off-screen personality - I think she'll make a great host. She has a very refined speaking voice, almost as refined as Sigourney Weaver, another actress I love and sometime narrator.

Pretty sure it's NPH --- I know he's going to be here 1st week of dec

 

[Mambo Junkie]

Yay! So excited!

 

[tinkerhon]

Yay! So excited!

Just made our 11/30 ADR--- Cape may right after NPH!!!

 

[Mambo Junkie]

We're going to do the Coral Reef for lunch (two little ones so I thought the 5 o'clock show would be better) then on to Akershus for princesses at 6:30!
I also made reservations for 11/30 (dinner, which I will cancel) and an early dinner on the 4th (which I will also cancel in the dates for NPH are correct)! My sil is so happy. We saw him last time we were here and thoroughly enjoyed it!
