AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Anyone heard when the lunch/dinner packages will go on sale? I re-read last year's posts and the packages went on sale on June 26th. It seems like there was already a partial list of narrators by this time last year too. Just wondering. Thanks in advance for any and all responses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Where is Sinise and Patrick Harris? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted July 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Dennis Haysbert will likely be a good one. Is he new? I don't remember seeing him on the list in the past. I think he will be the one I will shoot for at this point.........definitely not Whoopi. We are there 12-6 thru 12-15. Would be awesome if Gary Sinise slid into the open 12-8 thru 12-10 slot.

Although honestly I'd be waiting for him to say "you're in good hands with Allstate" through the whole thing. Oh and you're very welcome! Just happened to run across it.

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 I wonder if they are working on Sinese for the 23rd-25th? Although he doesn't do it as regularly as he once did. When we saw him last year he commented that it was his first year in a while, unless I misunderstood. Either way, the show is beautiful with any number of narrators. As long as their name doesn't start with W and end with hoopi. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted July 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 FYI---I was unable to make reservations online yesterday or this morning. I called this morning and was still able to get 8:15 show on 12-11-13, with 5:25 dinner at Rose and Crown. We actually wanted to do lunch at La Cellier as it was available last year, but it is not one of the options this year. I am looking forward to this show more so than any of the other Christmas festivities. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Might be because Le Cellier is now considered signature dining for both dinner AND lunch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beckers 1,136 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 So disappointed that the Candlelight Processional won't be available when we're there in November!I wish they would start earlier too. Unless I go without DH we will never get to go. December is peak season for him and time off in Dec just doesn't happen for vacations. I'm sure his work is thrilled with my due date.

CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Our first time at the Candlelight Processional was in December 2010. It was a beautiful experience except for Whoopi's sacrilegious comments. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 So I could go 4 consecutive nights and see Ashley Jugg twice and Whoopi twice. Wow, you'd be full of the Christmas spirit by midnight on the 7th. Or full of something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
