Kathy Brier and Susan Lucci, who appeared on Broadway in, respectively, Hairspray and Annie Get Your Gun, will take part in the 12th annual "ABC Super Soap Weekend."

Sherri Shepherd, a new co-host on "The View," will also be part of the Nov. 10-11 event that features more than 30 ABC Daytime stars at Disney MGM Studios at The Walt Disney Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.

Brier — known to soap opera fans for her work on "One Life to Live" — played Tracy Turnblad in Broadway's Hairspray. Lucci — an Emmy Award winner for "All My Children" — enjoyed a stint in the title role in the 1999 Broadway revival of Annie Get Your Gun.

The event allows fans the chance to meet their favorite stars from the line-up of ABC Daytime shows, which includes "All My Children," "One Life to Live," "General Hospital" and SOAPnet's "General Hospital: Night Shift." Live musical performances by the stars will end each day's festivities. Attendees can also expect "celebrity motorcades, autograph sessions, talk shows, interviews and the chance to purchase one-of-a-kind memorabilia from each of the shows," according to an announcement.

Also slated to appear are Bobbie Eakes, Melissa Claire Egan, Thorsten Kaye, Michael E. Knight, Cameron Mathison, Alicia Minshew, Aiden Turner, Jacob Young, David Canary, Kristen Alderson, Brandon Buddy, Bree Williamson, Kamar de los Reyes, Forbes March, Erika Slezak, Kassie DePaiva, Trevor St. John, Michael Easton, John Paul Lavoisier, Tika Sumpter, Julie Berman, Josh Duhon, Bradford Anderson, Tyler Christopher, Rebecca Herbst, Kimberly McCullough, Kelly Monaco, Jason Thompson, Laura Wright, Sonya Eddy, Nazanin Boniadi, Dominic Rains and Kent King.

Access to "ABC Super Soap Weekend" is included with theme park admission to the Disney-MGM Studios. For updates and more information, call the Super Soap Hotline recording at (407) 397-6808 or visit ABC.com.
