The Resort TV channel is going away

[zappy]

I work remote so I usually have a podcast or the radio on as background noise throughout the day. Last two days I've had resort tv live streams on youtube running and I can't believe how a simple loop can make the day feel better. Anyone else do this or with other disney loops?

Our TV at Riverside was replaced yesterday afternoon with one of the new smart TVs.

The TV is pivoted to the right so it looks off center [...]

That may explain the TV within the frame, but the frame itself is not centered on the dresser.

I'm rather picky about things but IRL it looks fine. If it were on the actual dresser, I'd possibly have issues, but it's not. It's located to be a good view for the room.

This bothers me way more than it should, when we go to disney our tv literally sits on wdwtoday the whole time we are in the room as background music.

What they should do is make an interactive menu to make it easier/quicker to find the info you need (as opposed to waiting for it to scroll by) but keep the disney music in the background. That would be a perfect upgrade to it.

A better upgrade is allowing one to pick the music. We liked the resort themed music more and actually turned our TV on to listen.

The reason for "why not both" is so that they don't have to maintain both systems. Makes sense to me.

i can't find a source that says that's an authentic walt quote (it's also attributed to george bernard shaw, for what it's worth), but he did say this:

Ah, trotting out an old Walt quote to justify current decision-making. Classic Bob-era!

No idea how long it will last, but it's enjoyable for now. I've had it a while (first Apple version was in 2017), figured I'd share it with others who didn't know about it.

If I'm being perfectly honest, I personally just liked the music and the graphics. Didn't really use it for information (it contains no info that I don't already know off the top of my head). So this or even a repeat on YouTube will get the job done.

I just let it run in the background (not watching the video), although it will kill your battery if you leave this running on your phone for too long without plugging it in.

To be honest, the mid-2000's resort TV music is more my thing. I have all the individual tracks plus there are recordings on YouTube if I need a fix and am not at home. Not that the current music is bad by any means.

Are there any loops of what the resort specific music sounds like for the new system?

 

[SplashJacket]

Had this a few weeks ago at Yacht. Hardly see this as a downgrade. I’d argue the new system is better, but that Disney fit the “Disney is killing everything” model of thought, so I goes I’ll shut up.

I was in the Beach Club room today, It had the smart TV but also if you went to regular TV option, select a channel 2, it was the Disney must-dos. It did not her but it resort TV still seemed to be there.

As we know…you can’t put a price on magic.

What that means is twofold:
1. There is no value to what they do or don’t want to have in the rooms. They are the sole arbiter
2. There is not cost/benefit relationship to what you pay for a rack room or over time in your bloated timeshare price. You’ll take what you’re given and come back for more.

Just basic economics.

Is there any correlation between Hey Disney and the new interactive TV being implemented in rooms at the same time? It seems between the two, a majority of information or features are covered.
