Celebrities And Musical Guests Revealed For Disney Holiday Specials And Christmas Day Parade 2018

The holidays at Disney Parks are always a lot of fun, and even those who aren’t visiting before the end of the year will be able to celebrate at home. As reported by the Inquisitr, the filming dates for the holiday specials and Christmas Day Parade will be on November 7-11, 2018, but we never knew when they would air. Now, Disney has revealed just when you can catch them all on television along with which musical guests and celebrities will be on hand for the festive fun.

In 2018, Disney is bringing forth three specials for fans to enjoy and they will most certainly be star-studded. Set at both Walt Disney World Resort in Florida and Disneyland Resort in California, guests will be able to also see how the Christmas holidays are celebrated on the high seas with Disney Cruise Line.

One of the cool things this year is that the word “parade” has been added back to the Christmas Day special. That word has been missing from the title for quite some time, but hopefully, it means more of it will be shown than in past years.

The Disney Parks Blog has revealed the full line-up of musical performances and special moment that guests will be able to see this year. ABC and Disney Channel will air the specials and parade, but you may want to set your DVRs as there is going to be a lot you will not want to miss.

Disney Parks will bring star-studded celebrations to ABC and Disney Channel this holiday season! Get all the details: https://t.co/i5ez0QMmy8
