Overview
- This week Chabert told Live! With Kelly and Mark that she cried when she learned she was cast and described staying at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge while filming for about a month.
- Production took place on location at Walt Disney World, with multi-week shoots that included Toy Story Land and other park settings filmed during the holiday-season shoot window.
- The story follows Lindsey, played by Chabert, who visits Walt Disney World with her extended family and unexpectedly runs into Philip, played by Travis Van Winkle.
- Hallmark has placed Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True in its Countdown to Christmas programming and will make the film available on Hallmark+ the day after its broadcast, although no premiere date has been announced.
- The project leans on Chabert’s Hallmark star power and on-site Disney access to appeal to family audiences, with supporting turns from Richard Kind and Christy Carlson Romano that add nostalgic crossover interest.
