Disney Parks will officially kick off the holiday season on television earlier than ever this year, with three musical holiday specials set to air Nov. 24 & 25 and Dec. 25.
Shot at both the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida and the Disneyland Resort in California, each of the three shows will feature special musical performances and celebrity appearances.

that’s wonderful! :D, how fitting that ABC outdoes itself airing 3 holiday specials from the happiest place on earth :D, what a magical time of year :D
Settle down there skippy. ABC has 2 specials, the other is on Disney channel. You can also bet that they’ll be reusing a lot of the same footage based on it having all the same performers, so that’s not exactly outdoing itself.
okay, but i still think it’s great that their being aired from Disney world :D
Umm so is it basically the same thing 3 times? Every one has the same performers, but with slight variations.
When are they filming Garth & Trisha
