Does anyone remember the show "Disney World Inside Out" (or something like that) which was hosted by JD Roth? What ever happened to it, anyone know?

 

[Colson39]

Okay Chris, you've made me want to see this one! Can anyone tell me... did this particular "episode" have a name? Was it one in a series? I'm sure they'll play it again later and I'll be sure to catch it!

It is in the "Season of Disney" series that runs on Fridays at 9 PM EST. This episode was called "Disney on a Dime". There is more information on the travel channel's website.

Yep, that's the name of the show. If you want to see it again, they are replaying it tomorrow (Sunday) at 9 AM - 10 AM (Eastern Time, not sure about other zones, I would look it up if you're in another one). They are actually replaying all of them, if you look a couple posts up I posted some more info. Enjoy!!

I'm not sure..but I remember a show on the Disney Channel back about 12 or 13 years ago(maybe longer)..where they would feature the resorts..including FW. It was usually on between programs.

We finally had a chance to watch Disney on a Dime! Great show and loved the coverage at Fort Wilderness!

Eventhough they didn't cover any information we didn't already know....it gave us that "I'm so ready to go back" feeling! And I emailed family to watch the show when it re-airs tomorrow morning....just so they can see what the fuss is all about!

People who have never been to FtW just don't understand the addiction!!
This is a good thing, too. It makes ressies easier for the rest of us to get!

I didn't think you floridians knew what hockey was... LOL I thought it was just a pale northerner thingy....

When you live in Pittsburgh if you aren't into the Steelers and Pens, then you may get strung up by your privates if someone finds out....

Tsk, tsk, tsk, John! Tampa has the Bucs, the Devil Rays & the Lightning. The only thing we're lacking is a Basketball team - but Orlando's close enough for that!

New York thinks they have 3 football teams, but they really only have one....Da Bills!!! The other two (who's names are sacrilege to my lips) are technically New Jersey teams - cause that's where they play - in NJ!!

Florida actually has three teams - Bucs, Fins & Jags!! Yea Florida & GO BUCS!!

Penna's a close second with two NFL teams - but ya gotta be a Steelers fan if you're from Penna! (Sorry Philly Pholks!)

George Foreman did a show for a while on the Disney Channel, too, that featured some backstage "secrets" and such. It may have even been the same show prior to JD Roth doing it.

For the past year, the outside temperature indicator on my truck has given weird readings. Last October when we were at FW, it kept saying it was 130 degrees out. All of a sudden, it started working again. My conclusion - Ford F150's are capable of healing themselves.

Since I seem to be the only one on right now, I will tell y'all about our Disney fix for the day...

Gas prices were much too high for us to be able to do MDGG and 4thGG and go to Gainesville this weekend, so we went to Disney's Vero Beach Resort for lunch. We went to Shutter's for lunch and saw the sights and then went to look for a bigger stroller for DS4 in Vero. Not much to tell, but the pictures turned out cool. There was a lot of construction at the entrance, painting and all behind screens, but all in all, a nice getaway for a couple of hours.

This is DH and DS going under the road (yes, I couldn't believe it, under the road walkway in FL, on the beach!). If you are not a guest of the resort, they have you park across the street (where the CM's park) and you walk under the highway. It was cool because it had all these hand painted pictures of the Peter Pan story on the walls.

This was right after you came out of the tunnel and up the stairs. The resort is just like being on property and we had to constantly explain to DS that we weren't going back to FW to stay in the RV tonight!

This is DS having ice cream for dessert at Shutters.

And finally, a picture of the Florida beach today.

Nice pics, Jen. My outlaws used to have a home near Vero beach, and I always liked the area. They sold it in favor of staying in Buffalo, NY year round. Figure that one out.

Nah, I couldn't possibly understand why someone would purposely live with snow

That's Disney4dan and I think he posted everything went good for Justin.

Thanks Donnie... I must have missed it but so glad to hear he did well!

 

[Gatordad]

We almost won on Thursday, but then the boys lost focus and we lost 8-5. It was a good day all around.

I'm with you on that, it took me twenty some years to figure out how to get away from that stuff, never never again
