Marlee Matlin is an Academy Award winning actress but the credit they list for her is "Celebrity Apprentice."

Sad.

Ha! Maybe someone was reading this thread... The Disney Blog has updated their announcement with more appropriate references.

Ha! They also updated Mira Sorvino's listing.

The WDW Magic article, however, still lists Marlee's claim to fame as Celebrity Apprentice.

And hopefully same here!

I'm not in any way religious, but watching Marlee Matlin sign the Christmas story brought tears to my eyes when I saw her.

I love watching her! So beautiful

Thanks for the update, will keep watching to see who fills the two remaining slots.

:xmas:Any reason why Whoopi was removed??? Any rumors who might fill that spot...that's when we will be there.

 

[cslafferty]

Us, too. We have dinner reservations for the 3rd, so I'm anxious to hear who will be replacing Whoopi. My DH is NOT a Whoopi fan, so he's quite happy! This will be our first time at the Candlelight Processional :sohappy:

 

[MissMorrow]

Not that I dislike Whoopi, but maybe they'll get Corbin Bernsen to come back. I'm a huge Psych fan, so I was a bit disappointed I missed him last year.

 

[lynnkatherine]

I would LOVE Corbin Benson, too!

 

[Computer Magic]

Don't get too attached to the narrators, they will change multiple times before Dec. Mr Peterman um John O'Hurley isn't on the list. He was a late add last year. He was very good, better than Corbin Benson. I saw them both last year. Nothing wrong with Benson but that was his first year which made O'Hurely more seasoned.

However, Benson had a wonderful speech at the end of his show that was great.

 

[EPCOTCenterLover]

I say bring back Thomas Gibson.

I assume Disney couldn't fulfill her request for eyebrow wax on her celebrity rider.

 

[lynnkatherine]

funny!

 

[Plowboy]

We get Edward James Olmos on 12/5. Very pleased about seeing him. :sohappy:

 

[PalisadesPkteer]

I had the following narrators.

1. 2006 Maureen McGovern. It was my first one and was nice. But did not like Maureen injecting her political correctness addition to the script.

2. 2008 Steven Curtis Chapman. Heard great things about him. He was good. Feel I got him at a bad time. He was visibly exhausted and unshaven. But put a lot of heart into it.

3. 2009 Rita Moreno. This so far was by far the best one I have been too. She was absolutely fantastic. Was really into it and sang along with the choir.

4. 2010 Jodi Benson. This is #2 for me but real close to Rita. She was very moving and did such a good job.

Will not get there this year no $. Maybe they can get Rita Moreno again or Jodi or even Steven Any of them would be a great replacement.

Just don't bring back Maureen Mcgovern ever again!

EDIT: mixed up a few. Rita was in 2008 and Steven Curtis Chapman in 2009. Sorry about that.
