Originally Posted By Hound Lesmisfan, they tend to announce the narrator(s) late. You may have to commit to a package without knowing who the narrator is. And they are usually different on Saturday and Sunday. We've seen Candlelight a number of times and always enjoyed the narrator although there are a few that really stand out.

Has anybody ever found out what the real answer is for the continued crashes? I'll be watching from the sidelines tonight. If any LP'ers are trying to get through, keep us posted.
Originally Posted By juicer I miss this event being held at the Fantasyland Theater It seemd that there were always seats available for everyone - The people with dinner packages were seated front and center.

I am a big advocate for tradition - However, now that this "semi-private" event is now so popular...It now needs to be like at Disney World in Florida - At a theater that can accomodate more people and have it be more than one weekend - I feel it should be at the Hyperion - It seats 1000's of people - Its inside - And they could sell many more dinner packages. IMHO
