No, especially when DVC and booking 11 months out! To be there when your favorite narrator is speaking is serendipity indeed!

It probably has to do with the celebrity and star narrators have ever changing schedules. When a great, career making job comes in for them, Disney doesn't want to have to constantly announce schedule changes. That would piss off or disappoint people more, who purposely booked to see them, than just waiting to October, once the celebrities' schedules are pretty much set for the end of the year.

And even then, there are occasional schedule changes, right up to when the program starts.

To be honest, I have only had one narrator who I didn’t enjoy in decades of attending the show and they are no longer living so they won’t be back. (Not that they were horrible, but they didn’t seem to want to be there when most narrators are enthusiastic .) I have seen big stars and relative unknowns. These days, I plan around my schedule and I see who I see. Many times my dates have been TBA until very close to the show dates and it still went well.

It’s nice when the stars align and you get to see one of your favorites, but trying to schedule your entire trip around a specific narrator won’t be easy. The only suggestion I can offer is perhaps to look at the last decade and see if the narrator you want tends to visit around the same time every year. For example, if they consistently narrate sometime during the second week of December (sometimes early in that week, sometimes later), then you could plan your trip for that week to maybe have a better chance of them being there when you are. Not a guarantee, of course, but it’s the only thing I can think of to improve your odds.
