  1. Good grief, with the exception of the wonderful Mr Sajak and Mr Sinise, who in their right mind would want to pay to see that washed up bunch of has beens? Is there some issue with Disney obtaining the talents of the wonderful Alec Baldwin or the equally wonderful Barbra Streisand? Once again, the penny pinchers at Disney are producing another disappointing Christmas holiday.

    • This is the most ridiculous comment I’ve read in a long time! Thanks for the laugh! Good luck luring Ms. Streisand out of her Malibu mall to speak to a bunch of sweaty theme park goers about the merits of Christmas, seeing as she’s about as Christian as the Dalai Lama! For your information, Chita Rivera is an iconic Tony-winning Broadway star and Kennedy Center honoree, while Jodi Benson embodies the spirit and magic of Disney animation. I do agree with you about Neil Patrick Harris, however.

  2. Thank you so much for announcing this today. I had been checking through all of June, on all the sites up through now, to see any announcement. Back when I phoned Disney Dining the day after my 180-day booking window opened (to make some changes the MDE site wouldn’t let me do) the lady on the phone said the dining pkgs wouldn’t be announced until August. I’m glad it’ll be next week. I already have 3 “placeholder” reservations on 2 different days at a few eligible places, so I can hopefully call and convert one into a dining pkg. Trouble is, right now one of our dates doesn’t have a narrator determined (fingers crossed they can get Chris Pratt or one of the other Chris’es). Otherwise we’ll get Jodi Benson on the 26th, which would be nice, too.
