Posted on Mar 24, 2008 11:18:35 AM

Samantha Brown is going to give us "Season of Disney," and it sounds like the folks at Walt Disney World should be overjoyed.

Travel Channel announced four programs in "Season of Disney," which will air at 9 p.m. ET Fridays, starting April 11.

The first will be "Season of Disney: Samantha Brown's Favorites," in which she discusses what she likes best at Disney World and Disneyland.

Travel Channel offered this preview: "In the parks, she encounters wild animals on the Wanyama Safari at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, dines at the chef's table at Napa Rose Restaurant, steps inside Disneyland's Dream Suite, stops for a fruity refreshment at Tropical Imprts and watches Cirque du Soleil's 'La Nouba' acrobatic and modern dance performance."

"Season of Disney: On a Dime" premieres April 18. Disney World guests provide money-saving tips.

"Season of Disney: Splurge!" debuts April 25. Travel Channel says the program offers "a guided tour through the many extravagant amenities, activities and events."

"Season of Disney: Royal Treatment" bows May 2. At the Magic Kingdom, the program looks at a wedding and a sweet 16 party.

the last week of January when DH & I were there for a week. She looks much thinner & smaller in person and was very nice to everyone. It will be great to have some new programs.

I hope its better than last weeks show

IMHO, it wasn't. I was under the impression that all of these shows would be hosted by Samantha Brown, but only the first one was. Did you think that the show stressed Disney's Magical Express enough? I didn't hear many tips that would result in any substantial savings for a Disney trip. The show's producers should have referenced the Dis!
