official email from WDW re: CP speakers

[elemusing]

I emailed WDW guest services and asked them directly to confirm or deny the rumors about the list circulating on the internet. I got a response this morning. The list for CP speakers is correct according to cast member Mirriam Ferguson.

November 28-30 ANDY GARCIA
December 1-3 BEN VEREEN
December 4-6 RITA MORENO
December 7-9 TBA
December 10-12 TBA
December 13-15 STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN
December 16-18 EDWARD JAMES OLMOS
December 19-21 SANDI PATTY
December 22-24 ROBBY BENSON
December 25-30 GARY SINISE

Just thought I would pass this along.

IF ONLY I could be there to hear Stephen Curtis Chapman...I adore him...CP will be over by the time we get there (have to wait till the end of the year so DDad can get off work, his job changes then)...If anyone wants to video it for me I'll send reimbursement for postage and a video tape...

In response to who Sandi Patty is, she is a contemporary Christian music singer. She can hit the high note!

 

[MaryKatesMom]

We have Stephen Curtis Chapman. Um. Who is he?

 

[DebbieB]

Steven Curtis Chapman is a Christian singer.

We have the package for Dec 7 and are planning standby for Dec 11, both TBA.

Steven Curtis Chapman appears to be a contemporary (country-ish? Nashville based) singer.

Where is the "America Gardens Theatre" where CP plays? Is the rest of Epcot WS open while CP goes on? Which restaurant is the closest to the theatre? Are any dates sold out yet? What time is best for dinner for which schedule show? Sorry for so many questions, I have never done CP before, and I wanted to get a Dinner package, but our trip is a bit last minute. Thanks in advance.

If anyone wants to video Stephen Curtis Chapman for me, PLEASE let me know! I adore him...and boy can he sing. His song "I will be here" is one of the songs that will be in my wedding....*sigh* You will LOVE him...he's not really country sounding at all, but I think several Christian recording companies are based out of Nashville.
