Where Was 'Disney'S The Parent Trap' Filmed?

The year my parents "divorced," I was twelve. My twin sister, Lily Reed, and I were split up between them. Lily left for California with our mother, Rachel Reed. I moved with our father, Grant Reed, into a moldy basement in Newark. Dad got hooked on gambling and buried himself in debt. Every day after school I washed dishes at a restaurant, and even my free school lunch had to be split into two meals. Six years later, Lily sent me a link out of nowhere. "Here's an eighteenth birthday present for you, sis." It was a paid livestreaming platform for the rich. The hottest stream on the homepage was called "Raised Poor vs. Raised Rich: Which Child Turns Out Better?" The screen was split in two. On the left, I sat in the leaky basement, doing homework by a broken desk lamp. On the right, my parents sat with their arms around Lily on the couch of a mansion in Alpine, cutting into a birthday cake. [The sister still has no idea, right? Her parents never divorced.] [The gambling debts and debt collectors are fake too. It's all for the show.] Lily looked into the camera and smiled sweetly. "See, sis?" "This is our real home."

25 years ago, a maternity nurse secretly switched me out for her daughter. Unfortunately for her, my six-year-old brother saw this and secretly switched me back. 25 years later, the maternity nurse comes knocking with her actual daughter by her side. She accuses me, the heiress of Crawford Group, of being an impostor. The company's janitor starts insulting me and insinuates that my lipstick is a cheap imitation. Even my boyfriend humiliates me with her. "And here I thought you were the heiress of the Crawford family. You can't even compare to a hair on Pammy's head!" When the DNA test results are out, everyone is stunned. "That wretch bewitched me, Lori! Please forgive me—give me another chance!" my boyfriend cries. I look at him icily. "Another chance to do what? To clean the toilets?"

The day I was discharged from the hospital after giving birth, my mother-in-law, Patricia Whitmore, kept pointing at the baby in my arms and humiliating me the whole way home. "Genevieve, just look at that pathetic thing in your arms. I doubt he'll live very long." I shot back angrily, "Patricia, how could you say that? The doctor said the baby is perfectly healthy!" Patricia curled her lip into a sneer. "You're so ignorant. Here you are, yelling at me when I'm only telling you the truth out of the kindness of my heart." I didn't want to waste my energy arguing with her, so I turned away with the baby in my arms and stared out the window. It wasn't until we got home that my seven-year-old daughter told me something. She told me that she'd seen Patricia secretly switch my perfectly healthy son with the child of my husband's childhood sweetheart, Evelyn Reed. The same child who was suffering from a congenital heart defect. That was when I finally understood why Patricia had been humiliating us. She was acting that way because she thought she had already gotten what she wanted. Unfortunately, she never expected that Nina had already switched her little brother back while they weren't paying attention.

Ivy Hart has spent her entire life being invisible. While her twin sister Scarlett was adored for her beauty, charm, and popularity, Ivy was the quiet bookworm constantly ignored by her family and overshadowed at every turn.

On prom night, everything changed, when Scarlett abandoned Sebastian for a wealthy college student, she forced Ivy to take her place at prom under threats and manipulation. For one unforgettable night, Sebastian saw a softer, real version of the girl he thought was Scarlett, and the connection between them became impossible to deny. By morning, their lives shattered, Scarlett publicly humiliated Sebastian, mocking his poor background and ending their relationship cruelly, while Sebastian walked away heartbroken, never knowing the girl he spent the night with was actually Ivy. Weeks later, Ivy discovered she was pregnant. Rejected by her parents and abandoned by the only family she had, Ivy raised her twins alone while hiding the truth about their father from everyone. Ten years later, Sebastian Cole is no longer the poor boy Scarlett discarded. He is now the cold and powerful billionaire CEO of Silver Crest Holdings, feared in the business world and haunted by a prom night he never forgot. When Ivy unknowingly joins his company for a job opportunity, fate drags their buried past back into the light. Sebastian cannot understand why Ivy feels so familiar… or why her twin children look exactly like him. But secrets never stay buried forever. And when the truth about prom night is finally revealed, Sebastian must decide whether he can forgive the woman who kept his children from him… while Ivy learns that sometimes the wrong twin was the right woman all along.

After my family deleted the only graduation photo I was in, I accepted a job three thousand miles away—and decided never to come home. That day, my parents, my brother, and my boyfriend took 380 photos. My twin sister, Emma, was in every one. She stood between our parents while they gazed at her proudly. I waited nearby in my cap and gown, but no one called me over. When Emma admitted she still hadn’t found a job, my boyfriend, Ethan, immediately turned to comfort her. “Apply to my company, so I can look out for you.” “Send me your résumé,” Dad said. “I’ll make a few calls and find you something. ” My brother, Ryan, handed Emma the only bottle of cold water he had brought. “My company’s hiring too. I’ll refer you.” Only then did they remember I was standing there. “You’ll find something,” Mom told me. “Your degree is pretty general, so don’t be too picky.” Later, Ethan frowned while scrolling through the photos. “Natalie’s blocking Emma in this one. I’ll delete it.” It was the only photo that proved I had been there. So they hadn’t forgotten me. They had seen me and decided I didn’t belong. Emma seemed like their only daughter. Even my boyfriend seemed to belong with her. I opened the offer I had kept hidden. It was one of the country’s leading aerospace research institutes—and nearly three thousand miles from home. I signed my name. Three days later, I would fly to Seattle and never come back.

In my past life, when Mom and Dad divorced, they made my sister and me choose. My younger sister, Keira McKellen, didn't hesitate—she picked our rich father, certain she'd become a wealthy young lady and inherit a fortune. But Dad already had another woman, and once his mistress gave birth to a son, Keira went from heiress to nothing overnight. Worse, the woman drove her out of the house entirely, and she was left to wander with nowhere to go. I chose Mom, and ended up living the charmed life instead: I got into a top university, married into a powerful family, and went from ugly duckling to swan—the very top of the world. My sister's envy of me curdled into madness, and on the day my whole family gathered to celebrate my birthday, she burned every one of them alive. When I opened my eyes again, it was the day of my parents' divorce, all over from the start. I saw her rush to choose Mom before I even could, and I knew—she'd been reborn too. What she doesn't know is that living with Dad is miserable, sure, but Mom is broke and out of her mind, and life with her is even worse.
