I'm too lazy to do a search, but there was a thread a week or so ago about this, and forum members did confirm that the channel lineup on resort tvs has been expanded. Can't confirm if all the channels in your post are included, but there are more than there previously have been.

Ohhh, sorry then for the repost of information. Sorry.

Let's be honest - it doesn't matter how many channels there are, we all end up watching way too much Stacey.

Not a repost to me; I heard some rumors there might be new channels but nothing confirmed and certainly nothing detailed like this.

AWESOME to finally see some real cable channels. Trying to find something to watch while winding down after the parks was nearly impossible before.

Thanks for the info!

I can watch regular TV at home. I watch the resort and park channels over and over. Of course I do have TiVo at home so I don't miss my programs anyways. TiVo has really changed my TV habbits since I got one I don't channel surf anymore.

Agreed!

Side Note: I don't remember the first girl in your avatar. She must have been YEARS ago.

 

[PlaneJane]

Really wish I could watch some adult swim to wind down to. That will never happen

Hopefully this happens soon, cause the line up is bad. I can confirm that this past week the line up was the same as normal. Lots of upset guests wanting to watch the NBA All-Star Game but not able to from the room LOL

That would be Kryssa Mooney first host of Top 7 Must Sees from 2002-2004

Do they still have the channel that shows all the old Disney cartoons? I remember it from a trip in 2007, but wasn't able to find it (at Coronado Springs) in 2009.

Channel 96. Nope, not in the rooms. They have it in all the resort lobby's though.

Any idea why they removed it from the room channel lineup? They still broadcast it (in the lobbies), so it can't be a cost-saving measure.

I've asked, and never gotten an answer that made any sense. One CM told me the new types of TV's couldn't get that station in. That was obviously nonsense. My guess is, they want people in their room for as little time as possible.
