Candlelight Processional at Epcot

newdrama12 · 07-27-2009, 06:38 PM

New narrators for this season’s Candlelight Processional at Epcot: Isabella Rossellini, Vanessa Williams, Whoopi Goldberg, Andy Garcia, John O’Hurley, Abigail Breslin, Brian Dennehy, Angela Bassett, Edward James Olmos, Steven Curtis Chapman.

Disney posted this on twitter and I thought that I would share it here for those may have missed it. Haven't seen a schedule yet of who will be there when.

Sorry to say that I won't be able to return to WDW in December to see the Candlelight Processional this year. I tl;ooks like they have a fine set of narrators again this year.
For those of you attending...Enjoy the show!

Thanks for the list!!! We go to WDW every year for christmas and New Years and we usually watch the show from, let's just say where the people watch it who don't have tickets. It beautiful and always brings tears to my eyes. Thanks to the list, I will actually know who the person talking is!!!!

Does anyone ever do the dinner along with the show?

Mary501 · 08-12-2009, 11:57 AM

I've done the dinner twice. Even though it's nice to have a confirmed ADR, I felt rushed both times.

And I still had to stand in line for over 30 minutes before seating began in the theatre. I do not think it is a good value nowadays unless you want a guaranteed seat for the processional.

britney05 · 08-12-2009, 08:32 PM

Hmmm....well we were thinking about doing it because we had the dining plan. Is it worth it for a "free" (better said as: an already paid for) meal?

Disney2000 · 08-16-2009, 11:30 PM

Wow! I hope someone tapes Whoopi narrating. I think she'd do a great job. Wish I could make it down there... I love the CP and I listen to my CD at every chance I get. Such a moving experience.

I did the Dinner Package at Les Chefs de France, and I enjoyed it. We didn't feel rushed, but the seating was confusing. I think we ended up in the right place... But I could be wrong about that. We kind of cut in the line because a CM lifted the rope up for us when we were asking where the end of the line was... I don't really think it would be a waste... especially if you were planning on eating at epcot anyway (which we were)
