Actress/Singer Raven, Actress Lohan and Figure Skating Champion Kwan Featured September 6 in Event Celebrating ABC Shows At Disney's California Adventure Park

Teen actress and singer Raven, actress Lindsay Lohan and figure skating champion Michelle Kwan are joining a galaxy of more than 85 stars from new and returning ABC Primetime programs who will appear at Disney's California Adventure park in Anaheim, California, for the second annual "ABC Primetime Preview Weekend," Saturday and Sunday, September 6 and 7.

Raven, Lohan and Kwan will make special appearances at a variety of locations throughout the park on Saturday, September 6.

Raven is the 17-year-old star of Disney Channel's hit comedy "That's So Raven" and the blockbuster Disney Channel Original Movie The Cheetah Girls. She also has a recurring role on "Disney's Kim Possible." During her September 6 appearance for "ABC Primetime Preview Weekend," Raven, who is also a Radio Disney correspondent, will sign autographs at the Radio Disney booth in "a bug's land" and enjoy park attractions with Martin Spanjers of "8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter."

Entering its second season, "That's So Raven" is about a girl whose ability to glimpse the future often gets her into hot water. The series airs weeknights on Disney Channel, and, beginning September 20, will also air on ABC. In addition, Raven sings the series title song and performs on the "That's So Raven" soundtrack to be released in 2004 by Walt Disney Records. Her solo album will also be released next year via Buena Vista Records.

"Meeting and talking to fans, especially kids, is always cool, and doing it as part of this event will make it even more fun," said Raven. "I'm also a fan and look forward to meeting a lot of the ABC stars, and, of course, hanging with Martin on Radio Disney."

The day after her September 6 appearance in Anaheim, the teen phenom will perform the national anthem at the White House for the "Tee Ball on the South Lawn" game and picnic hosted by President and Mrs. George Bush.

Currently featured in Disney's hit film Freaky Friday with Jamie Lee Curtis, talented actress Lindsay Lohan also joins the impressive roster of celebrities slated for the weekend. The 17-year-old star appears on ABC's "The Wonderful World of Disney" broadcast of The Parent Trap, airing on Saturday, April 17. Lohan plays dual roles as twins in the feature.

"I'm thrilled to be part of this special weekend because it will be a terrific chance to meet the fans and see a huge gathering of stars. This is going to be a great fall season for ABC, including the lineup of shows for The Wonderful World of Disney," said Lohan. "I always enjoy working with Disney and this event should be especially fun. After all, it's not every day I get to ride in a parade with the Disney characters."

Also making a special appearance during "ABC Primetime Preview Weekend" will be Michelle Kwan, the most decorated figure skater in U.S. history, with seven National Championships, Five World Championships and two Olympic Medals. Many of her figure-skating competitions have been covered by "ABC Wide World of Sports," and Kwan will represent the popular sports show as she appears in the "ABC Primetime Parade of Stars" and signs autographs for fans at the park on September 6.

"I had the best time at last year's ABC Primetime Preview Weekend and I'm sure that this one will be fantastic as well," Kwan noted. "It's pretty cool to be able to see the stars of the shows up close and get a sneak preview of what will be happening on the shows this coming season. I know the fans are going to love it."

"ABC Primetime Preview Weekend" at Disney's California Adventure, featuring more than 85 stars from the network's new and returning shows for the fall season, gives fans the opportunity to meet and greet their stars during a variety of entertaining and unusual in-park activities. Among those appearing during the two-day event are Jennifer Garner ("Alias"), John Ritter ("8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter"), Dennis Franz ("NYPD Blue"), Bonnie Hunt ("Life with Bonnie"), George Lopez ("George Lopez") and Jim Belushi ("According to Jim").
