There was a discussion about Raven About Bunk'd in the forum a few months ago, since it aired out of the seasons and Disney calls it a special in the press releases, we list it as a special instead of season 4. Disney, like all other network websites, can't properly list specials online to watch so they just put them by airdate groups, even when it contradicts what they announce as a special. It's also Part 1 because they have groups of credits pertaining to both individual shows.
Well the prod. code is 409, so it's definitely part of Season 4. Specials usually have other prod. codes like 2100 or 999. So this seems like a regular episode to me. I don't see why you would call this a special just because the press release does, when other sources also list it as S04E01. But if you say so...
Disney lists is as a special in their press site, plus it didn't air as part of a specific season.

I know they list it as a special, but their press site have made mistakes before. And even though it might not have aired as part of a specific season, it was still produced as part of Season 4.
Just means that's when they were able to film it though, they had to take Bunk'd into account too and probably is the only time they could've made it. American specials don't happen much so they probably have to film them along with a season, not outside of them like UK shows do. Shows don't always air episodes in production order, especially comedies, and some shows like Lucifer and Happy Endings have even held episodes over for the next season. Plus if Disney's calling it a special and the episode from Friday is the premiere, then that's what we have to do.
Alright then. :)
