Originally Posted By FiveBearRugs Xmas at WDW wasn't bad; it was just boring, lol. There was little focus on the park itself, and was mainly to showcase Shield and Yarnell, who appears on Season 4 of The Muppet Show, slated for a 2010 DVD release. The Christmas song medley at the end was cool, and it was one of the only times I've heard "Some Children See Him" used in a Christmas special. Up until a few months ago, 1974's "Sandy in Disneyland" and 1980's "Kraft Salutes Disneyland's 25th Anniversary" were on YouTube. I haven't seen them, but I recall a DL Xmas episode with Art Carney (or was it Red Skelton?) and ice-skaters on Main Street... I've also heard of the travesty that was Lucie Arnaz Introduces Space Mountain...

Originally Posted By FiveBearRugs LMAO! Art Carney was also Santa Claus and Cosmo Scam in the Ed Sullivan/Muppet special "The Great Santa Claus Switch". It was notable because it was the debut of Gonzo, although he wasn't named as such. What other celebs were in that special? I also remember the Ernest Introduces Splash Mountain special... dang, I have a lot of oldschool DL specials on Beta and VHS...
Originally Posted By FiveBearRugs I remember last year's special... "Disneyland Presents Toy Story Mania!"

The trio make their way through both parks, running into random Disney Channel Stars, watching a performance by The Jonas Brothers and listening to a behind-the-scenes tour of the ride with Wallace Shawn and Don Rickles, before FINALLY finding an Apple Pie Apple vendor...RIGHT NEXT TO THE ENTRANCE OF TSMM!! (cut to set-up/staged scenes with shiva, croc and LS "riding" TSMM...Starlight is still holding her APA, shiva holds onto his ears for dear life and croc laughs as he shoots stuff. Don and Wallace bicker through the entire ride) We then also show the Jonases and Some Disney Channel Stars riding the attraction as well. They say things like "Woot!" and "Tubular!" and "Toyrific!"
