The Goldbergs are going on vacay with some special guest stars this fall.

The ABC comedy’s Season 7 premiere — an homage to National Lampoon’s Vacation — will feature Anthony Michael Hall and Christie Brinkley in unspecified roles, it was announced Monday. Hall co-starred in the 1983 film as Russell “Rusty” Griswold, while Brinkley appeared as the Girl in the Red Ferrari.

In the episode, airing Wednesday, Sept. 25, “Beverly insists the family take a road trip to go on vacation to Disneyland in Anaheim, California, before Erica and Barry go off to college,” per the official synopsis. But like in the movie, “things do not go as planned as they travel across the country. Meanwhile, Erica worries more and more about her relationship with Geoff when he teases ‘we need to talk’ and won’t tell her anything until the family returns from their adventure.”
