I love it when Samantha Brown stays at the resorts. She is my favorite host on that network.

[Magic Smiles]

And for those of us that live in Canada, the travel channel shows completely different programming...........no Disney today - 01 April 2007 for us. I was so excited when I saw the threads about DIsney on the travel channel. Why is the Canadian travel channel not carrying the same programming??/

[WDWfanatic742]

The updated Disney Cruise Line show was so much better than the other one that they showed years ago. The one on now looks good too with nemo and everest in it as well.

[Dracula766]

HEY!

Some of today's shows are updated.

Behind the scenes features the suite inside the castle and also shows Expedition Everest, The Laugh Floor Comedy Club, Turtle Talk, Stitch and all the other recent additions to WDW.

Good thing I decided to record these today.

[CleveSJM]

Do you think Disney Marketing will use the Travel Channel marathon to "launch" it's big summer discount annoucements?

What a way to pump people up and then start running the "free dining" and/or Dream commercials...

Smart move, if they do it.
