An outrage!
"I see London ... I see France ... you know the rest!"
What an outrage! I wish I had known about this before visiting WDW last weekend, heh -- perhaps that would have softened the blow inflicted by the loss of our beloved Resort TV channel. Do any 'insiders' know if it will ever make a return? I had hoped that Disney was simply in the process of updating it, since the new version seems so hastily assembled and 'unpolished'. My people absolutely loathed the 'tour guide' -- well, I eventually found her hilarious (did you notice the crazy look in her eyes? She's out of her mind!).
I had to interrogate a Yacht Club guest relations cast member regarding this matter, but it seemed as though she knew less about the channel than we did (I guess she has no reason to watch it often, heh). Still, we captured the interrogation on video, if anyone's interested in watching, heh. Moreover, a friend of ours who is a cast member knew nothing about the change, either.
Eventually, we just watched the Spanish version of 'Resort TV', which has been preserved.
One positive side effect of this tragedy is that I'll now be able to download the Resort-TV video capture from #disney-central or alt.binaries.multimedia.disney; I was reluctant to do so previously, since I was worried that it would spoil the Disney experience for me.
