Hi,

What TV channels do you get in your room? I know it says 'international channels' but what does that include?
I am staying in Santa Fe if that makes a difference.

Stuart AFAIR you get the Disney Channel and BBC World but I'm not sure of the rest.

I think that is all of them.

There's not much English Language stuff of the adult variety. I think I remember them having a sports channel or something - not that I'm in to sports but I'm sure I saw something as I was surfing through. I tend to have it babbling away on the Disney channel myself as I don't have that at home.

Thanks for the info, I'm tempted to get a small cheap DVD player to watch at night when the kids are in bed. I think my local Asda has one for about £25 and its about the size of a hardback book.

That's how I know I've finally arrived! I have to have that on for a few minutes to convince myself I finally got there.

£19.99 from Argos (http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5335945/Trail/C%24cip%3D36693.Sound%2Band%2Bvision%3EC%24cip%3D3 6744.DVD%2Band%2Bvideo%3EC%24cip%3D36745.DVD%2Bpla yers.htm)

I bought one of these for the study - it plays DVDs from every country in the world without any tinkering needed.

Oh, the perks of staying at a Disney hotel! :rotfl: At least you get the Disney channel and the park one. At the Explorers we only had a choice of BBC World or a cartoon channel for English-speaking TV. :sad1:

when we stayed off site we had NO english tv... i remember watching Jay Jay the Jet Plane in french one morning... that was bizarre...

I am going to wait until i see how well the packing goes as we are trying to get everything into hand luggage to save time/hassle at the airport. If there is space I will get one as it would be handy to have for the house anyway.
