One last set of changes and Candlelight narrator schedule now complete
http://www.mouseplanet.com/9416/Walt_Di ... #startours
With John O'Hurley taking the Monday-Wednesday slot after Thanksgiving and Susan Lucci replacing Ed Asner, the schedule of narrators for this year's Candlelight Processional at Epcot has finally settled out. Earlier, Corbin Bernsen replaced the recently-added Frank Langella. The reading of the Biblical Christmas Story by a celebrity narrator, backed by a 50-piece orchestra and a 400-voice massed choir is an extremely popular event, with lines forming well in advance of each performance. Of course, as always, the schedule is still subject to change. Here's the schedule as it currently stands:

November 26–28: Isabella Rossellini
November 29 to December 1: John O'Hurley
December 2–4: Corbin Bernsen
December 5–6: Susan Lucci
December 7–9: Jodi Benson
December 10–11: Whoopi Goldberg
December 12–15: Steven Curtis Chapman
December 16–18: Thomas Gibson
December 19–21: Trace Adkins
December 22–23: Brad Garrett
December 24–27: Edward James Olmos
December 28–30: Marlee Matlin/Jack Jason
Performances are held three times nightly (at 5:00, 6:45, and 8:15), running the night after Thanksgiving through the night before New Year's Eve at the American Gardens Theatre across from The American Adventure.
I was hoping that after the B in the Dec. 2-4's name came "leu"...but alas, no. :( :p

Thanks for the WDW updates!! My first trip there is in less than a month, (3 1/2 weeks!!!) and I am beyond excited!!! This has been a big help in my seeing what there is, and what is going on there, as I am more of a DL person and therefor know nothing about WDW.

Hyperion Wharf announced to replace Pleasure Island
http://thedisneyblog.com/2010/11/19/hyp ... re-island/

That sounds excellent. I'm thinking that I'll probably be spending a lot of time down at Downtown Disney in the future, once my annual pass expires in February...

No more “Noodle Station”
http://thedisneyblog.com/2010/11/23/no- ... e-station/

That's an amazing menu. Dare I say one of the best counter service menus at WDW. I haven't been since they've changed it, though. I find it weird that the chicken nuggets don't come with a side...??

Those rooms look amazing!!! I love how the furniture looks like it should be there, if that makes sense. Ugh, but I do want to see the TLM room, though!!!

Epcot's Via Napoli offers pizzas by the slice

I think that that's a great idea, and it's not really much more than getting a slice of pizza in the mall food court. Plus, cannoli for the win!

Awesome. awesome! I'm hoping this is another budget resort? (I'm all for the budget resorts, myself.)
