Unfortunately, ABC has bumped the debut of Prep & Landing back a week — from tonight to 8:30 p.m. Dec. 8. It will be shown a second time on Dec. 16. To read about the first Christmas special from Walt Disney Animation Studios, click here.

But not to worry, you can still catch many Disney specials on TV this week. Look for several shows featuring Walt Disney World and Disneyland, including:

** Extreme Waterparks: This documentary visits the best indoor and outdoor water fun, including Disney’s Blizzard Beach, which is great for kids of all ages. (8 p.m. today, Travel Channel)

** Jon & Kate Plus 8 Hit the Road: Back when Jon and Kate were still together they took a road trip to our very own Walt Disney World. It’s fun to watch them visit Chef Mickey’s at The Contemporary, but cringe-worthy when the kids spill ice cream all over themselves before a special meet-and-greet with the Disney Princesses in the Magic Kingdom. (10 a.m. Wednesday, TLC)

** Disney Holiday Magic with Samantha Brown: Ms. Brown travels through Walt Disney World parks and hotels, showing viewers the best decorations and holiday activities. This show, and its predecessor, are favorites at our house and a must-see every season. (9 a.m. Thursday, Travel Channel)

** Disney’s Dream Weddings: Celebrity event planner David Tutera takes a behind-the-scenes look at the elaborate weddings that happen at Walt Disney World. Tutera also has designed a line of wedding accessories that are available on DisneyStore.com. (2 a.m. Friday, Women’s Entertainment Network)

** Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives – Guy’s Disney Holiday: Host Guy Fieri makes a trip to Disneyland, where he explores holiday treats and meals, including a gingerbread house, Yule log, candy canes and Christmas Eve dinner with dishes from the Napa Rose. (9 p.m. Saturday, Food Network)
