Candlelight Processional Narrators updated

[yulilin3]

I thought I read on another thread that you always do standby. But if that wasn't you, I just posted that I have a Biergarten lunch for the 8:15 show with NPH. Let me know if you want to coordinate.

yeah I always do standby, I can't afford the packages. Thanks for the heads up though

He was quite the heart throb back in the 80's.

Actually, he was big in the '70s.

Depends what you watched him in.

For me it was the 80's.

We've ended up with Edward James Olmos or Neil Patrick Harris.
Hum..

I would highly suggest seeing Edward James Olmos. We saw him last year on Christmas Eve and he may be the best narrator we have ever seen. He was very into the story and added additional dialogue. He didn't just read from the script and he sand all the songs as well!

 

[Napoleon Dynamite]

We get Robby Benson. Cool

I just saw that for our dates as well...I don't even know who this is...now I need to google lol

I made a reservation for December 6th for Edward James Olmos. I'll keep my other one for the 7th as well. Hopefully they will announce the other narrator in time for me to decide.

Yep, that is the reservation that we stuck with. I am dropping the other one tonight.

Just made our dining package reservations

I was surprised how few options were remaining for Tuesday, December 13.

I'm going to miss Robbie Benson by one day! Pretty bummed about that. As is, I will be able to hear TBD or Edward James Olmos, who I can only imagine would be absolutely fantastic,

Robby Benson Dec 12 Dining pkg.

 

[Mitzicat]

I'm not going this year, but that is pretty cool about Cal Ripken. Home town boy! woo hoo. Anyone going to see him, please make sure you give a "just back" report.

EJO is an AMAZING narrator. My favorite. He has gravitas and he puts a lot of heart in the narration. That said NPH is my second favorite

This is good to hear because we have him and I have ZERO idea who he is!

 

[monorailrabbit]

Robby Benson is the voice of The Beast!!! in BAtB!

OMG!! I'm so excited for this you have no idea!! We will see him on the 10th!

He was in Miami Vice, Battlestar Galactica, Stand and Deliver, The West Wing, Selena, most recently he did about a full season on Agents of Shield

I'm guessing by the lack of comments that Jim Caviezel either isn't that well known or isn't that great. Any opinions??

He portrayed Jesus in the passion of the Christ, I believe. I've read quite a few reports that he is very well received at these things.

I'll be at that show, too. We got the dining package and I'm so excited- this is my first time seeing CP. Now I just hope my 4 year olds behave through it all.

I just learned about this (coming up on first trip to Disney around the Holidays). I am at EPCOT on Saturday, December 10th. We have dinner at 4:05 (non-package), so that really only leaves the 6:45 or 8:15 shows. How hard is it to get into this? And how early is it recommended to line up? Thanks for the help!

We saw him a several years ago and he was quite good.

They only allow a small group of standby guests so I would get in line for the last show by the time the 6:45pm is going inside. For the most popular narrators people get in line as early as World Showcase opens, I've done that for a couple of narrators just because my kids sing in the show and I can't afford the packages, but I am a local who doesn't mind doing this .
If you don't get into the theater you can always hear the story and choir from outside, around the American Adventure pavilion
