Details on Disney Parks "Unforgettable Christmas Celebration":

Disney Parks revealed details on its "Unforgettable Christmas Celebration" that will air Christmas Day at 10 a.m. EST and 9 a.m. CST, MST, and PST on ABC. The parade will also air in Canada on the CBC Network as well as across the globe on the American Forces Network. This marks the 32nd year for the annual celebration. Details were released but this year's production seems to be centered around Disney World as no details on Disneyland were listed. The highlight for this year's celebration  is the unforgettable family moments the park has helped guests create over the past 60 years. 

The celebration will be hosted by Good Morning America's Robin Roberts as she is joined by Jesse Palmer, as he joins for the first time as a correspondent. Palmer is new to GMA as a special contributor will share updates amidst the action on Main Street, USA. Janel Parrish, Pretty Little Liars on ABC Family, will be the music correspondent alongside Stitch from Cinderella Castle. 

Disney Parks in the spirit of their new marketing campaign, "Unforgettable Happens Here", will celebrate three special families throughout the celebration whose connection to Disney Parks will make their Christmas dreams come true. It will all culminate with an unforgettable Christmas surprise that is sure to warm the hearts of television audiences across the country.

Walt Disney's Office Suite Restored on Studio Lot in New Permanent Location:

Yesterday, Disney chairman and CEO Bob Iger was joined by members of the Disney family, Disney Legends, and other Disney luminaries as they dedicated Walt Disney's newly restored office suite on the Studio Lot in Burbank. Parts of the office were recently seen at Disney World's attraction One Man's Dream until they were moved out back in August and inside the Main Street Opera House at Disneyland.

The restoration faithfully re-constructs Walt's formal and working offices which include original furnishings, some items from his collection of miniatures, awards, and his piano. Office Suite 3H was carefully restored by the Walt Disney Archives as an immersive exhibit experience for Disney employees and studio guests as they find inspiration by visiting the creative center of the studio that Walt loved. 

Here are some photos of inside Walt's suite:

More photos and a detailed look at the restoration can be seen on D23.com. In 2016, the office will be featured on select D23 member tours that is usually offered to D23 Gold Members.
