In this special edition, viewers will be treated to interviews with a star-studded line-up, including Julie Andrews, who shares her memories of visiting the park with Walt Disney himself. Josh Gad reflects on his experience working as a skipper at Jungle Cruise, while Chris Connelly, an ABC News entertainment correspondent, provides compelling insights into the park's enduring appeal.
Other notable figures featured in the special include Jon Favreau, Neil Patrick Harris, Jamie Lee Curtis, Patrick Warburton, Tiffany Haddish, Prince Harry, and Meghan. The special offers a unique perspective on Walt Disney's vision for Disneyland and delves into the concept that the park is an ever-evolving entity.
One of the highlights of the special is the early peek at some of the most exciting new attractions coming to Disneyland. The magic of Disneyland, which has been preserved for 70 years, is showcased as it continues to captivate and create millions of magical memories for families worldwide.
"The Happiest Story on Earth: 70 Years of Disneyland" special airs on ABC on September 21 at 8/7c. For those who miss the live broadcast, the special will be available to stream the next day on Disney+ and Hulu.
It's worth noting that the parent company of ABC, Disney+, Hulu, and this ABC station is The Walt Disney Company, underscoring the company's commitment to preserving and celebrating the magic of Disneyland.
In the trailer, Jamie Lee Curtis humorously mentions having numerous memories associated with Disneyland, further emphasising the park's ability to create lasting memories for its visitors. Disneyland, as Walt Disney himself stated, would never be completed, and this special edition of "20/20" serves as a testament to the park's enduring allure and its ability to continue generating magic for generations to come.
