lot of extra stuff, but they have at least updated the shows. The three
shows with known new footage are

On Tuesday April 10, 2007 from 11:00 AM to 11:30 AM on the Travel
Channel is
John Ratzenberger's Made in America - Budweiser
Join us as we catch a pop fly at Nocona Sporting Goods in Nocona,
Texas,
down a can of red and white at the Anheuser Busch brewery in St. Louis,
Missouri, and then head off to Tomorrowland to see why the world of
Disney is a small world after all. (TVKirby note - The segment of the
show is the last 5 minutes or so. It is really just a short history of
Animatronics. Lots of footage we've seen before <Wathel Rogers in the
Carousel of Progress programming harness, etc.>. Segments are shown
from
all the parks and going back 50 years. Expedition Everest's Yeti is
shown, but commentary says it opened in 2005 instead of the correct
year
of 2006. Lucky the Dinosaur is also shown. Worth recording for the
completist. Interesting, but not essential viewing.)

On Wednesday April 11, 2007 from 11:30 PM to 12:00 AM on Cartoon
Network is
Family Guy - The Courtship of Stewie's Father
Stewie has been taking out his aggressions on Lois, and she decides
that
the reason is because he isn't close enough to his father, so she
orders
them to bond. They finally succeed at Disney World. Carrie Fisher
provides the voice of Angela, Peter's boss at the Pawtucket Brewery.
(TVKirby note - This show is on late at night for a reason! Rude and
Crude and I was laughing out loud when Stewie fufills the old Jungle
Cruise joke and gets
chained and forced to sing in the attraction that approximates "small
world" in the Family Guy universe version of WDW.)

Modern Marvels - Walt Disney World
Journey underground and backstage at the technological marvel that is
Walt Disney World. Enter a make-believe world spanning some 27,000
acres, brought to life by cutting-edge technology. What was once
Florida
swampland now boasts the world's largest theme park. The ride
technology
ranges from space-age centrifuges to enhanced motion vehicles powered
by
3,000 PSI of hydraulic pressure. And hundreds of audio animatronics
brought to life through the power of pneumatics, hydraulics, and
electrical systems. Walt Disney World is made up of four separate theme
parks, each with its own innovations: the 107-acre Magic Kingdom,
Epcot,
Disney-MGM Studios, and Disney's Animal Kingdom. The four parks are all
part of a megaplex of a resort. Twice the size of Manhattan, it was the
final vision and crowning achievement of a man who spent more than 40
years pushing the limits of technology to create entertainment magic:
Walt Disney.
