A Tale of Christmas

November 4, 2014 By Tony Caselnova

Every year, from the end of November till the end of December,Epcot plays host to Epcot’s Candlelight Processional. Held in the America Garden Theater located in between the Japan and Italy pavilions, this is a wonderful retelling of the biblical tale of Christ’s birth.

This event features a full orchestra and choir as well as a celebrity narrator. This is one of the most popular events during the holiday season. The event is included with price of admission into Epcot but seats for the 3 shows per day fill up quickly with people waiting in the standby line for hours to secure their seat. The other very popular option is to purchase a Candlelight Processional Dining Package. This includes either lunch or dinner in some of Epcot’s most popular restaurants as well as a guaranteed seat in the theatre for the show. To me this is the best option. You are probably eating at the park anyway AND you don’t have to waste time waiting in line.

The list of Celebrity Narrators is fantastic!

Jodi Benson November 28 and 29, 2014
Neil Patrick Harris November 30 to December 2, 2014
Jonathan Groff (NEW!) December 3 and 4, 2014
Whoopi Goldberg December 5 and 6, 2014
LeVar Burton December 7 to December 9, 2014

Joe Morton December 12 to December 14, 2014
Chita Rivera December 15 to December 17, 2014
Ana Gasteyer (NEW!) December 18 to December 20, 2014
Marlee Matlin December 21 to December 23, 2014
Isabella Rossellini December 24 and 25, 2014
Blair Underwood December 26 and 27, 2014
Steven Curtis Chapman December 28 to December 30, 2014

Disney Park Podcast Meetup – Newbie Style!

November 1, 2014 By Tony Caselnova

DDP Meetup.jpg

On October 19th, I threw myself into the happy world of a Disney Parks Podcast meetup. Having received an invitation to attend the week before, I couldn’t wait to meet these amazing  Disney fans. I had seen their photos on Facebook and on the podcast site, listened to the podcasts, and even wondered what they were like in person. My family and I took the monorail to Polynesian Resort and headed for the Pineapple Lanai (Hello? Dole Whip!). It was there I met over a dozen of the fine folks that either host the podcast or are fans and friends of the hosts and podcast itself..

I was happily surprised. The fine folks from DPP are incredibly down to earth and all share a common bond- the love of a mouse named Mickey. We chatted about the latest park news, talked about the previous visits, and a few of us even swapped Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom cards! My daughter’s new Magic Kingdom obsession allowed her to make friends with some of the finest Disney folks I’ve ever met.

Krista Joy treated us to goodie bags filled with Disney merchandise and souvenirs, sponsored by Homes4uu.com. Although she didn’t need to win us over with ‘em, her thoughtfulness was impressive.

After about an hour, my newly found Disney friends took a few photos (the one above is Krista’s), said our goodbyes, and went on our merry ways. My DDP meetup was a definite highlight of our trip to Disney and I look forward to my next one. Fingers crossed it will involve Dole Whip!

 

Karyn Locke, Marketing and Social Media Guroo and Mid-America Guroo for trekaroo is a travel writer from Ohio that has a passion for all things Disney and a hankering for Dole Whip Floats at least three times a week. Also creator and blogger for Sand and Snow…and Everywhere in Between! she’s happy to give Disney tips to anyone that asks and is pleased as punch that her family shares her love of the most magical place on earth.
