I didn't 'cause I was at work (and lack tivo). Since it's travel channel I'm hoping/assuming they'll be replayed sometime when I can catch it.

But yes - who did watch? How was it?

I got "Disney on a Dime" from the library (I figured it was in keeping with the theme of the book ) It was a decent read. A lot of it is just "common sense" ways to save money for any vacation. When I saw the title, I wondered if the authors of the book are involved in the show.

Great money saving idea!

I watched Samantha Brown Favorites! I thought it was good. I felt like I was with her. I did like DeVine, since I did not get to see her when I was there. I also did not know about the "Safari" thing they did at AKL, It looked like it was in the afternoon. Was this the one they do for the morning?

I saved it, along with several others, to watch again, and again, and again....Just to get some pixie dust, when needed.

The morning one is called the Sunrise Safari and it's only available to people staying at AKL in the Concierge level.

There is also an evening one, Sunset Safari, which is the one she was on, she called it the Wanyama safari, and it's followed by dinner at Jiko. She did FAIL to say, you must be staying at the lodge on the Concierge level.

I hope they re-run the Samantha Brown show. I will definitely remember to record the others. For some reason, these shows always end with a little water in the eyes. You never realize how much you miss it until you see it on TV.

jcodirewolf wrote:They have done one of these around Vegas, and one on cruises. Without seeing the one on Disney yet. My guess is it's stuff like..

"shop around" - look at several travel sites and call yoru authorized Disney Travel Planner
"look for discounts" - Disney Visa, Workplace Discounts
"don't go durning the busy season" - Disney rates are seasonal try and not go durning spring break, Summer or christmas
"Disney Dinning Plan" - a great way to save money
"Make a budget, and stick to it" - make sure you plan for gifts, snacks etc..
"Don't rent a car" - use DME and Disney transport
"Stay on property" - for EMH and the Transport

Travel Channel can fill an hour with stuff like that. Considering they only need 40 minutes of content per hour. You pad it with summaries between the breaks and a review at the end. Stick in a few "experts" with sound clips. Then add some stock footage of the parks, with a voice over "expanding" on what the expert just said.

You are probably right. One of the things in the book to save money is to order a "double cheeseburger" at the Electric Umbrella in Epcot, and to order an "extra bun," which costs about $0.80. Then, you can make two cheeseburgers for less than the cost of purchasing two individual cheeseburgers.

There aren't a great deal of tips in the book, and it is true that most of them are "common sense." But like I said in my earlier post, I wonder if they will mention any of the non-practical ideas, like the "double cheeseburger" trick on the Travel Channel show.

I recorded it and watched it this weekend. It was o.k. no earth shattering news to save time or money. But then again no matter what it is on Disney I'll watch it. Looking forward to the up coming shows in weeks to come.

I think the money-saving episode isn't on until this Friday night:

Disney on a Dime 4/18 9 PM

Good information, thanks for the post. I have been waiting for some new material.

My husband and I watched it, nothing we didn't already know, but who doesn't love to watch anything Disney?! We felt like we were at the parks with Samantha. It will help us get our fix until we can return, which we'll probably not be until Dec. 2009. AUGH!
