Disney on Demand

[SpenceMan01]

Dang you all! I don't have on-demand cable, so now I have to go throw in the Official WDW Planning DVD to satisfy my itch. Thank you very much! :hammer:

They are really short shows......but fun to watch....

I'm not sure if this is offered throughout the country, but here in Philly, Comcast (our cable provider) offers a service called On-Demand. I'm not real sure how to describe it except it offers shows, movies and extras that are either free or sometimes at a price. I'm not sure if you have to have digital cable for it either.
Anyway, today while I was surfing around it, I found a whole section for Disney! It's under the Travel sub-category of the Spotlight section. They have an Everest Preview, Stacey's Top 7 as seen on resort tv, the Jim Brickman special at the MK, and some other short specials for the Happiest Celebration on Earth. I was so excited when I saw it! The shows are free and are available until May 10th and I think you can actually record the shows and save them if you subscribe to the On-Demand service.
I'm sorry I don't know how to desribe the On-Demand very well or even if it is offered throughout the country. I hope it is though, and everyone can find it!

Yes, you MUST have a digital box and subscribe to at least the digital classic package to receive On Demmand. I'd say at least 90 % of the content is free. The good part about the features that you "rent" is that you have them for 24 hours. Watching a movie and have to go out ? No problem, stop the movie, come back later, go to saved programs and there's your movie. You can watch a 2 hour movie 12 times in that 24 hour period and only be billed once. If you have what is known as a "multiplex" box, On Demmand is not available.

By the way DiPSU224, thanks for the heads up. As much as i've gone thru On Demmand, I never knew the Disney stuff was available. Guess I know what i'll be turning to next time I do customer education !! :lol: Especially if I see Disney stuff in their home. Which I ALWAYS spot. I'ts a gift....and a curse. Met A LOT of nice customers by talking Disney by virtue of my spotting their Disney stuff.

And if anyone hears the term "VOD" that is cable speak for Video on Demmand.

Is it good any budget saving idea or is it mostly the same old stay at a value resort and don't use park hopper and water park/more option on tickets
