CP -- Which narrators are popular this year?

[labdogs42]

I looked up the list and I know NPH and Whoopi are popular -- who else is a tougher narrator to see? Any thoughts?

• 11/24-11/26: Laurie Hernandez
• 11/27-11/28: Matt Bomes
• 11/29-11/30: Ana Gasteyer

• 12/4-12/5: Pat Sajak

How early would you suggest lining up for some of the not as popular characters? I'm wanting to see Warwick Davis!

2-3 hours (as a guess.) But, at WDW, "earlier" beats "later" every time.

If you line up for the 2nd or 3rd show, you may be standing in line while the previous show is going on.

I posted this on another thread, but thought I would try again on this thread. We have a package for CP on the Dec 30th at 8:15 for Chandra Wilson. If there are still dining packages available, how would you judge whether to keep the package or not? I just wonder if more people will be in MK that night for the 30th fireworks. We have seen the CP two other times, once with a package and once without. The time we went without a package we literally walked in a few minutes before the show started at 8:15.

Since the date, the time, the overall crowd level, and the relative popularity of the narrator all come into play...
these are the kind of questions that can only be answered using a "Magic 8 Ball."



And (although its a joke,) I'm not really kidding.

These are the narrators while we are there. Have the package for Warwick Davis but plan to see all three whether we get into the theater or not.
People go crazy over NPH. He was our package narrator 2 years ago and personally, I don't see it. He wasn't bad, but I have seen many that were much better. Some of the best we saw over the past 20+ years were:

James McDaniel
James Avery
Edward James Olmos
Marlee Matlan
Andy Garcia
Gary Sinise
Rita Moreno
Hal Holbrook
Lavar Burton
