Lots of good names on that list. I loved seeing Jodi Benson the one time ~ so much fun to have the voice of Ariel narrate the program!
Does anyone know if they compensate the narrators beyond tickets to the parks and a room?

They get paid, they are there for the money. Park tickets/hotel rooms are not worth the time.

Yeah, I suppose that makes sense.

I was going to post the question: "who would you cast if you were directing the Candlelight Processional, assuming that the funds don't exist to cast a major A-List'r?", until I realized that all of my own answers are just people I think would be funny, like Joe Mantegna (assuming he does the narration as Fat Tony from "The Simpsons") or Will Arnett (assuming he does the narration as Gob Bluth).

[GoldenBear]

I'm sure some of the people take advantage of going to the parks as best they can without being recognized. I know Neil Patrick Harris is a big Disney fan and often posts pictures in the parks.

Maybe they just really enjoy it...that's always a possibility.

[Wizzard419]

Considering it is a for-profit activity and it requires extensive travel, they won't. Just like performers that headline for the holiday parade... some may be heavily washed up and do it for scale though.

[Amy]

Ok, that is too funny ~ and probably dead on as well.
