Disney’s Holiday Special
ABC and Disney Parks are bringing us two holiday specials this year. Disney’s Holiday Specials have become sort of a tradition for many families. It’s a great reason to gather in front of the T.V. during the holidays and celebrate.
It’s also a fun way to welcome Disney into your home, especially if you were not able to visit the parks during the holiday season.
