Thanksgiving Weekend with ‘Mary Poppins’, ‘Prep & Landing’, and ‘The Wonderful World of Disney: Holiday Spectacular’ on ABC. The Wonderful World of Disney: Holiday Spectacular, which was recently filmed overnight at Disneyland and Disney’s Animal Kingdom, will air as the headline Thanksgiving Weekend show in the lineup, alongside something for the whole family: Disney’s Prep & Landing and Mary Poppins.
Disney’s Prep & Landing returns with a brand new holiday special. Christmas elves Lanny and Wayne panic when their holiday missions go awry, leaving Wayne thinking he’s in BIG trouble with Santa and accidentally revealing other merry mishaps. Plus, on Thanksgiving night, after you and the family are in a turkey coma, celebrate the 100th Birthday of Disney Legend, Dick Van Dyke, in one of his biggest movies: Mary Poppins.
Olaf’s Frozen Adventure will get the Holiday song “That Time of Year” stuck in your head for the next month or so, and the classic Santa Claus is Coming to Town will finish off Sunday night.
