Unforgettable Thanksgiving Surprises at Walt Disney World

I just wanted to make you aware of two heartwarming Thanksgiving stories filled with unforgettable surprises at Walt Disney World involving members of our military from the United States Air Force and United States Navy. As part of their special Thanksgiving week programming, these stories will air on “Good Morning America” on Thanksgiving morning and on “Good Morning America Weekend” on Saturday, Nov. 28.

You’ve seen many stories with the U.S. military surprising their own members and their families. But this week, we will share two military stories with a surprising twist featuring “Dancing With The Stars” former celebrity participant and current “Good Morning America” correspondent Melissa Rycroft and “Good Morning America Weekend” meteorologist Rob Marciano. These are heartwarming Thanksgiving stories that your viewers, readers and followers will remember this holiday season. We hope sharing them with you will help you with meaningful content during the slower holiday news days ahead.
