WDW on A&E tonight

[eileenmc]

Tonight's a busy TV night at our house - Amazing Race, ANTM, Top Chef together with the Indians and CAVS! Egads! Does anyone also recommend the WDW show scheduled at 9 on A&E? Guess I've got to make some choices here. Thanks!

That is in my queue at blockbuster.com. It just came out not too long ago on DVD and has had a long wait. I'll wait longer. Too many other good shows that aren't on DVD to watch tonight.

Go hippies! Go Harold!

Anyone have any details on this show? I don't care about any of the other shows on and I don't think the Tigers are on TV.

Hey eileenmc. I just noticed that we're neighbors and wanted to say hi. I grew up in Wickliffe and my brother and his family still live there. I'm in Euclid now but I'm just over the border.

This is a really good show. Are you able to record (TiVo, dvr, vcr??)

If so, it's going to air again at 1am today (Thur May 18).

Here is the info on it:

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.

Do you think it'll be on OnDemand? I can't miss Lost & I have no way of recording it! I saw the tail end of it once & it was really good!

Thanks eileenmc for letting us know this is on!! I would have totally missed it but now I can tape it to watch at a later time!

 

[MAKmom]

Thank you I have the 1:00am on TEVO. I have Lost & AI at 9:00.

 

[laura001]

I look forward to watching it, guess I will be flicking between American Idol and this...

1:00am TIVO all set here!

One of the best WDW documentaries ever IMHO. Very detailed, lots of footage never previously seen of the building of the parks.

I can't bear to erase this from my DVR. I'll watch it anytime I need a WDW fix.

I watched part of the WDW show the other night, and taped it again to my DVR to watch this weekend.

It was an excellent show, and not the usual Travelogue. It was fascinating to see the mechanics behind some of the attractions (TOT, Soarin'). I can't wait to see the show in its entirety.

Anyone know the exact titel so I can see dvr it when it comes on again?

 

[olena]

Is this brand new? It sounds like something I saw a few months ago on A&E or the History Channel.

I think this one is brand new, it sounds different than the one I taped a few months back which was from The History Channel and also 2 hours long.

I can't wait until they replay this one ! If anyone hears anything, will you post here ? I checked A & E on line and there's no info on when it will replay

It's actually an episode of Modern Marvels... I think the sub-title is just Walt Disney World

Thanks! I just did a search and it doesn't appear to be showing in the next couple of days

We set the DVR to record the show when it was on at midnight--and oh my, the commercials that are aired at that time! Good thing for fast forward!
It is such a great show--I turned it on for background this morning as I was cleaning, and my DH (who often mocks my Disney obsession) is sucked in. So much for a productive Saturday morning!

We, too, are impressed by the engineering background of the attractions. Fascinating stuff.
I would love to get a hold of some of the old shows where Walt is discussing his plans for Disney World. They keep showing snippets from those shows--look like good stuff!

How funny - I just found this thread while I had the DVD of Modern Marvels Walt Disney World on pause for a few minutes! It came in the mail from Netflix today, and it is wonderfully detailed. I've learned several things I never heard in my many years as a total Disney nut. Highly recommended.
