Jennwdw, to answer your question, NO, it really doesn't matter that much who the narrator for the CP is. They all read the same bible passages,and really the music, candles and pagentry of the show is a big part of it and always FANTASTIC! We have been once before, early December 1999. We did not schedule a package, not sure if they even did them then. We got seats without much waiting and Brian Dennehy was the narrator. It was great, we really enjoyed ourselves. We have always wanted to see a narrator that our kids would be familiar with, like LeVar Burton (we still watch old Reading Rainbow videos!) Dh was dissapointed the Gary cancelled, but I think Jim will be great. We are Evangelical Christians, and I feel that if the narrator is a true believer they will perform with more emotion. Jaci definitely falls into that catagory. She is the real deal, and a cute girl and great singer to boot. I would have been happy with her or John Stamos (the kids know him from Full House!) We love contemporary Christian music, Steven Curtis Chapman is a favorite too. You will have a great time!!!!!
