What You Get For Your Money: Walt Disney World

So, did everyone get to see the premier of the Samantha Brown's Disney Favorites? What did you think of it? Did it appear rather "choppy" as it jumped around from WDW to DL? Yeah, we all thought so.

In any case, without much fanfare, there was another premier of another show about Disney. It was on the Fine Living Network. The show was called "What you get for your Money: Walt Disney World". It followed 3 families having their vacation at WDW with the same price point of $1600. 2 of the families were staying at the Value resorts (one at All Star Music, the other at Pop Century), while the other couple with no kids were staying at the Animal Kingdom Lodge with a Savanna view room (just like what we did on this past trip).

I'm guessing that the $1600 price point was chosen because the WDW commercial on TV has used this as being "possible" for a family of 4 (it has also been a selling point on their websites). The show didn't have anything earth-shattering or anything unexpected. Still, there were brief appearance by Jim McPhee, the vice president of Epcot, and my favorite Disney executive, thanks to his friendly involvement with the Celebration 25 team last October. I don't see him appearing on TV that much, so it was nice to him in this special.

There are 3 more airings of the special:
