Travel Channel Shows for Disney Junkies

The Disney Traveler blog reminds us this week of the upcoming new Samantha Brown Disney specials on Travel Channel, as well as showtimes for a bunch of re-runs I imagine we’ve all watched, and re-watched, and re-watched.

I know I’ve got my DVR set to record the first new one, on April 11!

The Disney Cruise Line show always makes me want to book a cruise, which is funny because not only have I never been interested in cruises, I have an outrageously strong tendency towards motion sickness (an unfortunate thing for a frequent business traveler, n’est-ce pas?). And the Undiscovered Disney World show makes me laugh, because most of the stuff they cover is not particularly hidden, though they do talk about a number of things I’ve never done (the Chef’s Table at Victoria and Albert’s, for example, since I am a budget traveler). And, of course, if you watch enough of these shows, frequently enough, you’ll start to notice the re-purposed footage (“hey, isn’t that the same woman we always see on Mission Space?”).

So, I’m looking forward to a new batch for sure! I have no doubt I’ll watch and re-watch them as obsessively as the last batch.

Air Dates for New Samantha Brown Disney Specials

Hey you Disney geeks! Yes you . . . the people who set your Tivos for every damn Disney special you can get your hands on. It has been a dry season for us lately, hasn’t it? We’ve had to either watch that same old “Undiscovered” special (did anybody really think SpectroMagic was a well-kept secret?), or scavenge for scraps of other people’s vacation videos on YouTube.

But Samantha Brown will bring us relief soon, according to the Orlando Sentinel:

Samantha Brown is going to give us “Season of Disney,” and it sounds like the folks at Walt Disney World should be overjoyed.

Travel Channel announced four programs in “Season of Disney,” which will air at 9 p.m. Fridays, starting April 11.

In all fairness, I do believe I heard about this first on Lou Mongello‘s WDW Radio Show . . . but I gotta give the hat tip to John Frost, because his RSS “shared items” tipped me off to the article linked above, with the specific titles and air dates/times. (Maybe Lou had them too, but I think I was listening in the car and couldn’t exactly take notes at the moment.)
