We love the circular loop of cartoons on Disney TV, and we found it at WL and YC, but not at Contemporary. We were all really bummed out during our Contemporary stay to say the least (you can't imagine how awful it was for us to be stuck watching nothing but Stacy-TV all day

) So we're curious to know if anyone who has stayed at POR recently (or who will be staying there in the near future) can confirm that it is available to watch throughout the resort.
Thanks!!!

I don't remember a circular loop of cartoons on the TV in the room (then again, the kids have control over that TV) But there was a loop of cartoons on the TV in the Riverside Mill dining area - don't know if it was what you were looking for.

We were just at POR this weekend and don't remember that on the TV.

I don't remember that from the February trip... but that doesn't mean it's not there. If there's something like that at the Poly, will someone let me know? LOL! This sounds interesting, and right up DD's alley!

We did not get the cartoons at POR. But surely you're not watching TV all day while at WDW???

It wasn't there last December

Our boys watched cartoons at bedtime each night while at POR. That was in 2005. Is that what you are referring to?

Yup. Exactly. DS has contracted some sort of fever/stomach bug/illness every time we've been there, and the cartoons keep him occupied for the time he has had to recuperate in bed. It's just become a staple of ours to watch Lambert the Sheepish Lion on every trip. We weren't able to do that on the last trip when everyone had the bad-barfing-bug that was passed around and it made us twice as miserable.

We were there in May and I don't remember a channel for Disney cartoons either! And in the mornings I really searched for a good channel to watch as we got ready. I usually settled on a Orlando news channel!

DARN IT! I guess this means I have to write a letter to WDW Customer Service! It's just one of those things we've grown attached to!

I thought all Disney resorts had the same tv programming - is that not the case? I guess I learned something new!

OMG!! My kids are ALWAYS waiting for that one cartoon EVERY trip! Of course once it's on that song is stuck in my head the whole trip.

We just stayed at the GF and they didn't have the cartoons either. I guess the Deluxe Hotels just don't show them. I was also at POR in 2005 and they did have the cartoons.

I just saw this. I absolutely looooooooove Lambert! I remember watching it in kindergarten for the first time and just adoring it. In college, for some reason, it just popped into my head for some reason (and I had not seen it in YEARS!). I spent forever trying to find out if it was on DVD. I finally found ultimatedisney.com and read that it WAS on DVD, as an extra on Melody Time! Needless to say, I was at Wal-Mart within a few days buying that DVD! (It's also on the Disney Treasures Rarities DVD now)

Maybe you can purchase the DVD? (of course, it does not make it as special that way though) We buy all of the Disney Treasure DVDs that include classic Disney animation (not so much the live-action stuff). We don't really watch them all that much, but it's just one of those things we feel we have to have!

When I camped out in my room @ the BC nursing my sunburn I channel flipped alot but I can't tell you definitely whether or not there was a cartoon-loop channel. I want to say the Disney channel was on, but I found myself watching Stacey since I was missing my kids, and that's one of their favorite things to do-especially at night while we're winding down to go to sleep.

Hopefully you'll be able to see what you're looking for!!

We were there in September 2007 and they had the cartoon loop. My kiddos loved it! Not sure if they still have it. Give the resort a ring. The # direct is in your Passporter.
