I know I saw this posted about a month or so ago, either on the family board or Disney tips board. There were about 4-6 special Christmas shows coming up in Dec on the Disney Channel and someone kindly listed them. I looked and looked and cannot find this thread. Would someone be willing to post it again! Thank you!:earsgirl:

There, she becomes the magical nanny to Jane and Michael Banks and soon takes them on delightful song-filled adventures while teaching them lessons in proper behavior and having fun. Among the memorable songs are "Spoonful of Sugar," the Oscar-winning "Chim Chim Cher-ee," "Feed the Birds," "Jolly Holiday," "The Life I Lead," "Step in Time," "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" and "Let's Go Fly a Kite."
"Mary Poppins" is followed the next night by "The Princess Diaries" also starring Julie Andrews.

Last year, an astounding 40 million votes were tallied online.
 
Wow that's alot of specials! Thank you so much, I will keep this list. I think what I was looking for might have been on the Travel Channel but were Disney themed. Not positive. And I think may have been more adult shows, again not sure. Anyone else have that list. The one I read was the show, date and time and there were only 4-6 shows listed, but looked very festive and entertaining. Anyone know? Thanks again! Happy Holidays!:wave2:
 
One I have posted to record is WDW Holidays on 12/10 at 9:00
PM, eastern time, Travel Channel. I would also like to know what else may be on the Travel channel. :wave:
 
I think it's funny that the filters blocked the last name of - Dick VanDyke. But the way the poster spelled it he put a space between the Van and the 'other part'.
