Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are no strangers to the small screen. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have dabbled in everything from Netflix documentaries to high-profile interviews and the couple's Archewell Productions has some interesting projects coming soon like Meet Me at the Lake, a romance film based on Carley Fortune’s bestselling novel and Masaka Kids: A Rhythm Within, a new doc short.

But imagine our surprise to see them appearing together again—and for such a sweet reason. The couple will be featured in The Happiest Story on Earth: 70 Years of Disneyland, a special airing September 21 on ABC, celebrating the beloved park’s milestone anniversary.

In the special, Harry and Meghan will reflect on what the park means to them and their growing family, according to the official press release. And, in the beginning of the trailer, the Duke of Sussex reveals his favorite ride.

"Space Mountain was one of my favorite things," he says, to which Meghan replies, "It's still one of your favorite rides."

This new special will take viewers on a deep dive into the magic of Disneyland, past, present and what’s still to come. The special explores the rich history behind the park’s most iconic rides (hello, Pirates of the Caribbean and Haunted Mansion), plus gives fans a rare behind-the-scenes look at Disneyland’s legendary parades and nighttime spectaculars.

Toward the end of the trailer, Harry and Meghan appear again. “Prepare yourself,” Harry says. “You’re about to be blown away.” Meghan echoes his excitement, adding, “We were just so lucky.”

And they’re not the only familiar faces in the mix. The special also features nostalgic reflections from lifelong Disney fans like Neil Patrick Harris, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jon Favreau, Patrick Warburton and Tiffany Haddish. Disney CEO Bob Iger also pops in to share what’s next for the beloved resort.

Earlier this year, the Sussexes celebrated Princess Lilibet’s fourth birthday at Disneyland.

Meghan even shared a heartwarming Instagram video from the family’s two-day visit, with 6-year-old Prince Archie joining in on the fun. The clip showed the family of four soaking up the rides, indulging in classic treats and cutting into a Disney princess–themed birthday cake.

“Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy!,” Meghan captioned the post, which was set to the feel-good tune of Peggy Lee’s “It’s a Good Day.”
