I know this is probably a really silly question but what are the hours for lunch vs. dinner? Where's the cut-off?

Thanks for your help.

Also, just got off the phone with Disney Dining and the CM I spoke with said they have heard rumors that the packages will be released sometime the week of the 23rd. I know I've seen someone else post this but I wanted to let everyone know that I heard it again just now. :animwink:

oh man..that list will probabablly change like 5 times, before they actually know who it will be. Gary Sinise always does it. I'm sure he'll be back this year.

Not very inspriring narrators. Though Patti LaBelle will probably be good. I wonder if they will have her sing some of the songs with the voices of Liberty? My daughter usually sings with her high school in early December.

Bring back Lou Gosset, Philiscia Rashad, Gary Sinise.

Usually Kirk Cameron and Gary Sinise are in the mix... I'm bummed to see neither on the list.

Isn't Abigail Breslin a young teen? I wonder how she'll do.... She's the tentative narrator the night we had planned to go. :shrug:

I think that the first performance each day, the 5 pm one, is when you have to have lunch instead of dinner. We did it last December and we had to have lunch about 2:30 pm. It worked out well because by the time we finished it was time to start heading over to get in line.

Regardless of who the narrator is, the performance is great.

BTW- They sell CD's of the performance at the gift cart in front of The American Experience. It's the 1998 one with Phylicia Rashad, unless they've changed.

I was shocked to see that Steven Curtis Chapman has agreed to do it again this year, considering the tragedy that struck his family a few weeks ago (his son accidentally ran over and killed his 5-year-old daughter with a car)

We always see Gary Sinise on Christmas Eve or Day. (OK, there was the one year that John Stamos filled in but we won't talk about that) We love him and will miss him but I wouldn't mind a fresh take on the narration. I also seem to recall reading somewhere that he wouldn't be doing it this year because of other obligations. I hope he comes back.
