Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Prep & Landing is a 2009 computer animated half hour Christmas Special produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios, which spawned animated sequels also released in succeeding holiday seasons.It is a story of two holiday elves, part of an elite unit known as Prep and Landing, which arrives at each house ahead of time and prepares for 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.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })It has been followed by a seven minute short for the 2010 holiday season titled "Operation: Secret Santa" featuring Betty White as Mrs. Claus (a role she had previously played in two other holiday specials) and in 2011, "Prep & Landing: Naughty vs Nice" about Wayne's enstranged brother and the lists being tampered with by a child who got a hold of elven technology. 2012 was the first year a Prep and Landing special or short was never released.It is also the first Disney property to cross over with Marvel in the comic story "Mansion: Impossible" in which Wayne and Lanny must prepare the Avengers Mansion for Santa's arrival. This ran as a backup in The Avengers (Vol 4) #19 and two Marvel Adventures books.

Daydream Surprise: As Lanny and Wayne sneak into Santa's office, Santa wakes up, sees them and puts them on the Naughty List, then kicks out Lanny, who ends up living in an igloo in the middle of nowhere. Fortunately, it all happens in Lanny's head.

Green-Eyed Monster: Wayne, regarding Noel, who always tends to come out ahead of him regardless of the subject; Noel is not only more popular, he tends to insert himself between Wayne and Wayne's desires without really meaning or even trying to, like when Noel was late to their emergency meeting because he was buying a limited luxury snowmobile that Wayne would have purchased himself if he hadn't been interrupted by the emergency in question.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: While the Prep & Landing teams are equipped with a couple of sparkle grenades for the occasional Creature that's Stirring, the Coal-Elf Brigade members tote a 7-shot launcher. Why? Because Naughty Children are more likely to be still awake when Santa is due to come by.

It later turns out that Santa just wanted to keep Wayne on the Prep and Landing team for one more year so he could train Lanny in the field before promoting him to the Head of the Nice List. Wayne ultimately turns it down so he can keep working with Lanny.

How Can Santa Deliver All Those Toys?: The premise of the special (and as discussed by Wayne in the Opening Narration) is that an elite team of elves is sent out on Christmas Eve to prepare every house for Santa's arrival and ensure he can deliver the gifts as quickly as possible.

Turns out to be a bit of Fridge Logic that an unfairly labelled kid would know it. Truly naughty kids never say "please." Though it could be a combination of the child in question's young age and not believing the password could be that simple.
