When ABC’s hit comedy Black-ish returns this fall, fans can look forward to seeing the Johnson’s in Walt Disney World. The show will kick off its third season with a trip Florida — following in the footsteps of such ABC classics as Roseanne, Boy Meets World, and The Middle.
In the episode titled “VIP,” Dre decides to take his entire family on the magical, first-class vacation experience he was never able to have as a kid. The episode is set to film this month and will air in the fall.
“I’m excited to return to Walt Disney World, this time to film with my TV family of ‘black-ish’ in hopes of creating some of the same lasting memories I shared with my very own family when we visited the resort,” said two-time Emmy nominee Anthony Anderson, executive producer and star of “black-ish.”
“VIP” will feature the Johnson family visiting all four parks at Walt Disney World Resort: Magic Kingdom Park, Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Jim Rash (Community) guest stars as Cody, the VIP tour guide that Dre hires to ensure his family has the most magical experience possible.
Black-ish stars Anthony Anderson as Andre “Dre” Johnson, Tracee Ellis Ross as Rainbow Johnson, Laurence Fishburne as Pops, Yara Shahidi as Zoey Johnson, Marcus Scribner as Andre Johnson, Jr., Miles Brown as Jack Johnson, Marsai Martin as Diane Johnson, Jenifer Lewis as Ruby, Peter Mackenzie as Mr. Stevens. The show returns to ABC’s Wednesday night lineup on September 21st.
