These sound wonderful, Michelle! Thanks so much for the heads up. I've printed out this list and tacked it on the bulletin board right next to the calendar.

Wow! Talk about a busy TV week .

[disneylandfan28]

Aloha MichelleC!
for the tip!!!
I did set my VCR and caught most of the shows!
I did miss both of the "Coasters Of The West" shows.
Do you know if it will air again?
And anymore WDW or DL Shows?

(I'm so greedy! I just can't get enough of WDW and DL!)


Mahalo!

P.S. Great job with the listings!!!!!!

I have Samantha's YC and BC on tape and I totally am disgusted with it. I call it "It's the all about me show" for I feel that she doesnt do enough showing of the resorts (which are all great) and the perks that each offers. She spends the other half of the show walking around Disney (in this show it is Epcot) uh, like who cares? You are supposed to be showing the hotels not you and your adventures with photos! Argh! Sorry, I will step off my soapbox now.
