Interesting group. I will be there for Marlee Matlin.

The last 3 times I have been to the Processional we have seen Phylissia Rashaad (sp?) as the narrarator. Not by planning, we just happen to catch her every time. She is so good at it, her voice gives me chills when she is telling the story.

Gary Sinise (December 23–28)

Let's hope he doesn't give us any Nazi salutes this year! :lol::lol::lol::lol:

I will also be in the choir! :wave: I can't wait! I wondered who would be the narrator at the time I will be there, and it will be Steven Curtis Chapman (I'm will be in the program either the 18th or 19th, but I will be at WDW December 17-20.
Finally my dream to sing at WDW has come true!

Well he's not the first at Disney. Try Donald in 1943.

We heard Edward James Olmos last year. I would like to hear Levar Burton.

TAKE A LOOK. IT'S IN A BOOK. IT'S A READING RAINBOW.

I CAN DO ANYTHING. THING TO KNOW ON AND THINGS TO GROW ON.

IT'S A READING RAINBOW.

:wave:

I was always under the assumption that it was a recording of the narrators (never have seen the Processional), but now with people talking about it, I seem to be thinking that the narrators are there live performing. Can somebody set me straight on this??

With that said, I'd like to see it with Jim Caviezel.

Yes! The narrators are LIVE!

I had reservations for Roy Disney in 2002. Alas, he turned sick that week.

Looks like he won't be narrating for a while more, anyways. :lookaroun

Thanks for the information Grizz, We're taking my in-laws this time and we were hoping they would get to see Gary Sinise live, instead of on our videos. :sohappy:

I love the Candelight Processional. A definite tradition.

Awesome! Good luck!!

This year's (tentative) narrators:

Rita Moreno (November 26–28)

Saw her perform the other night here at Ravinia.

At age 72... shes still got it... class act... nice lady.

 

[TURKEY]

Who are Jack Jason, Kirk Franklin, and Joshua Morrow?

 

[TravisMT81]

Joshua Morrow I will be there to see him, he is one hunk of man meat!!! He plays Nicholas on the Young and the Restless

 

[TravisMT81]

Kirk Franklin is a Christian music star.

 

[surfsupdon]

Ohhh, we get to choose between Gary Sinese and LaVar Burten this year! Being we saw Sinese last year (he was great!) we will probably see the latter as we were all Reading Rainbow fans.

I'm so excited! :xmas:

 

[SpenceMan01]

Yes! The narrators are LIVE!

AAwwwww! Now I really want to go!!! Too bad that if I go it's going to have to be in early January. Well, at least I hear that crowds are light then :king:

I'd like to go see Hal Holbrook, especially since his wife Dixie Carter would likely be there - I'm surprised she's not on the list as well. Has anyone seen Hal do the Candlelight before? I can't believe she doesn't get up and sing - she has a beautiful voice.
