'''''Prep and Landing''''' is a 2009 computer animated half hour ChristmasSpecial produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios.
It is a story of two [[ChristmasElves holiday elves]], part of an elite unit known as Prep and Landing, which arrives at each house ahead of time and prepares for [[SantaClaus Santa's]] arrival.
Wayne is an old pro who's been working on Prep and Landing for over 200 years and is finally hoping to receive a promotion. After being turned down, he is teamed up with a new recruit, Lanny. The two head off to Timmy's house to prepare for Santa's arrival. But with Lanny's inexperience and Wayne's new defeatist attitude, things go wrong real quickly, and the house is not prepped in time. And with the threat of a terrible snow storm, it appears that Santa has no choice but to skip Timmy's house that year. Realizing the error of his ways, Wayne only has a limited amount of time to make things right.
It has been followed by a seven minute short for the 2010 holiday season titled "Operation: Secret Santa" featuring BettyWhite as MrsClaus and in 2011, "Prep and Landing: Naughty vs Nice" about the lists being tampered with by a child who got a hold of elven technology.
