Appauled. Channel 41 at disney now

[Junebugwv]

OP- I don't think people are mocking you for wanting to have inoffensive TV fare at a Disney resort. I'm with you on this one.

I have to admit that I might be appalled if a naked person just came out of nowhere and literally walked across my TV in Disney World too. I'd have a few questions in mind:

1. Where did this naked person come from?
2. How did this naked person get into my room?
3. Why is this naked person walking across my TV?
4. Is this the new limited time magic?
5. Will I be charged extra for this?

OK I just have to say this made my night. I am literally laughing over this one.

oP i dont think people are being mean. Just taking advantage of a opportunity for some good jokes. Not familiar with channal 41. Is this a inroom adult/ porn channal?? If soI would think there would be a prepay lock/ code. I'd be concerned if my kids ended up catching porn.

A naked bum/breast/ other parts shown naturally for me is no big deal.

Didnt even think disney had adult channels. We've only done mods, maybe this a another benefit for Deluxes??

I had to jump over to "rumors & news" to see if there is "confirmed news" thread on this topic. But seriously though. Have you seen the new Beach Party movie on Disney Channel. Those scantly-clad teens are a pretty racey bunch.

appalled.

These posts are hilarious.

In all seriousness, isn't 41 the History Channel? Not much Disney can do about what is shown on a standard cable channel that's found in most cable packages (and thus in most US homes) that airs shows about the history of the world. If I'm right on what the channel was, I see no difference in seeing some nakedness on it, than in seeing statues without clothes on in a museum.

I am currently at animal kingdom lodge and was fluorine channels for my 7 year old and there were naked people literally walking across the tv screen. What in the world!!!! That should not be in the tv in Disney!!!

I don't think it was wrong of you AT ALL to expect the TV shows on TVs on Disney property to be "family friendly". Disney may not control the programming but they do control what channels are seen. We often have a 2 BR villa and I'm not happy to know that my 13 year old can't be OK to watch TV at Disney in his bedroom w/o me having to monitor it.
I'm sorry OP that some people are making you feel bad for your feelings and expectations. I don't think you were out of line at all. That's a big reason I'm here so rarely anymore. One pounces and it's a free-for-all.

I can't speak for anyone else, but the op hasn't really filled in any details or followed up on their original post. Being at Disney more times than I can count, I have never personally experienced truly naked bodies on any of the screens (though once there was apparently a naked person on a balcony outside while I was at the AKL because there was some shouting from someone for them to get back inside) and find it difficult to believe that it was something obscene because Disney does not access channels that would have any "R" nudity (HBO, Cinemax, etc) in guest rooms.

Channel 41 is the History Channel according to a search, and maybe there was something from a tribe or other "National Geographic" type program on depicting the natural body... though it is hard to say.

Like someone else said, there were some jokes made namely from the vague setup written in the OP and it went from there. None of it was out of mean spiritedness from this end.

At the end of the day if I'm at Disney's AKL with my (non existent) child and that was the worst thing to happen to them this year, they're living a pretty good life and should be thankful.

Children need to be under good parenting, and perhaps I'm a little relaxed with no kids, but I also see moments of humor out of life's oddball moments.

Well, I certainly wouldn't after all that.

That is fine but it brings to mind that with such a vague, mistyped OP, what was the OP wanting out of posting?

Speaking only for myself, if I had an odd experience and vaguely posted (for example) "Disney took my money and didn't feed my kid what I wanted and their trip is ruined. This shouldn't happen at Disney" people will translate this any number of ways: spoiled child, allergies, food poison, picky parent, etc. Each person has a mental image of what happened without knowing what really happened. It opens the flood gates for speculation which can lead to jokes. At the end of the day it is the OPs business that would need to be taken up with Disney if it was a legitimate problem.

I told a story in another thread about how my wife and I were recently married at WDW and upon our first night together in our AKL room, a Mousekeeper opened the door on us "changing" without knocking. I had decided to lock all the locks that time, so they didn't get past the one that can only unlock from inside, so it caught with a loud bang. In that instance we could have later discussed the issue with management and really had it out about an issue that many would consider worthy being walked in on(first marriage night...), but said nope. We're on vacation, we're fine, and happy to be alive.

That's just the choice they'll have to make too.
