Candlelight Celebrity Narrator Lineup Revealed for EPCOT

As Disney expects you to make your travel arrangements, including dining reservations a full 6 months before the date, they’re actually a little late releasing this year’s line up celebrity narrators at the 2011 EPCOT Candlelight Processional. Even now, they still have a number of spots that are yet to be determined.

Here’s the current list:

Nov. 25-27 — Mira Sorvino (“Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion”)
Nov. 28-Dec. 1 — Michael W. Smith (Christian singer)
Dec. 2-3 — Whoopi Goldberg (“The View”)
Nov. 4-6 — TBD
Dec. 7-9 — Isabella Rossellini (“Alias”)
Dec. 10-12 — Neil Patrick Harris (“How I Met Your Mother”)
Dec. 13-14 — TBD
Dec. 16-18 — TBD
Dec. 19-21 — Trace Adkins (country singer)
Dec. 22-24 — Susan Lucci (“All My Children”)
Dec. 25-27 — Blair Underwood (“The Event”)
Dec. 28-30 — Marlee Matlin (“Celebrity Apprentice”)

Of these I’ve only seen Neil Patrick Harris. In 2008 his performance was a bit stiffer than I imagined (I’ve seen NPH at his wildest on stage in RENT). He spent a lot of the performance standing with his hands in his pockets. Apparently, he was better on other nights. I may give him a second chance this year.

These shows fill up on a first-come, first-served basis. Many people enjoy buying a Candlelight Processional dining package. Lunch and dinner packages, which include a meal, reserved seating at the show, and pre-arranged fireworks viewing, will go on sale in July.
