What’s new with this year’s Disney Parks televised Christmas special

Posted on
This is the 32nd year for the Christmas special, which has undergone several changes, both in the production and the final television show.

In other years, performances also were filmed at Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif., and the show offered segments from each coast, leading viewers to think they were seeing what was actually happening in Disney Parks on Christmas morning. That may make some of you chuckle, but until the early 1990s, the Disney Christmas special really was filmed live on Christmas Day.
