He must have been as annoying as this guy:I thought the host was a bit annoying but that must be a standard requirement.

This is the best channel ever....

Switch this on, turn the volume down nice and low....
Perfect for that afternoon nap after a long morning in the park and just right to lull you off to sleep late at night.
Flipping to that channel is the first thing I do when we get to the room.

put your movies on your ipod. have a/v cables which are like 2 bucks and hook them up to the tvs so you can watch your movies. i did this at disney in feb and works great. i was able to watch zombieland and terminator salvation on a TUBE tv. the flat screens have the inputs up front. works like a charm

Agreed! I downloaded a version of this along with the Resort Channel and burned it to DVD. That way I can listen/watch it when I'm at home.
One other thing I liked about the resort TV were the trailers/promos for the attractions. I had scoured the internet for a particular set of them and found them thanks to mousebits!

I downloaded this to my iPod a few years back. I listen to sometimes when I'm in a Disney mood.

I remember when I was younger, probabaly early to mid 90's when we would get to our hotel room before heading out to a park, me and my younger sis would always turn on the Resort TV channel that showed all of the parks and attractions. It made us more excited to get out and ride everything.

I miss the Resort TV where they would play old school Disney cartoons. DH and I loved to do this at the end of every night before we go to sleep.

Funny, it think we had that channel 96 link at the Sheraton Vistana Resort last year. I assumed the Vistana was on the same network as the Swan and Dolphin which do have connections to the Disney network. Can anyone confirm that I was watching the same thing or was this something specific from Sheraton resorts.

I'm pretty sure every resort has classic cartoons on channel 96. Allstar Music had it when I was there in January.

I have to agree Resort TV is useless and one of the things that really irks my DH. We do actually spend time in our room because our kids still nap so we can be stuck there 2 to 3 hours in the dead of the afternoon. We miss food network, DIY, and so on. It really does kind of suck that they don't offer more for the cable considering the price you pay for the resort.
Thankfully we have figured out the Ipod trick and that helps us get by. Although on a 7 day stay you can only watch the same movies over and over again. It is also nice for the kids because we put some of their favorite cartoons on it as well and it helps keep them occupied in the morning. I mean seriously - can we not at least get PBS with Sesame Street on it? They are after all Jim Hensen's Muppets!
I don't understand why they upgraded to the nice flat screens when there is nothing decent to watch on them.

These channels are the only thing I watch when I'm at the Resorts. I really don't want to know what's going on in the "Real World".
