Walt Disney Park Trip - Praise!

My Disney Florida trip:

I have recently been watching some of the new shows on Disney and very impressed. My wife and I, and I know what you are going to thinkis this guy living in a cave but we just upgraded to better than basic cable television. We now have a son (Luke) whois 3 and a daughter (Ava) who will be turning 1 next month. I never thought I would do this and I have become my parents butI truly care about the TV shows they are watching these days so much that I have been learning more about the TV rating systemand the different codes they use.

There are different shows on Nickelodeon (Nick) and Disney that I approve of, in fact all of the Disney Channel shows I approve as a parent.DisneyChannel.com is also the website that basically supports all the TV shows such as the programming times and online games about the shows.

Being the computer person I am today, my Luke is already working the PC and I am very proud of him, he handles the mouse like you would not believe, my wife laughs because he knows how to close the Internet Explorer browser window and navigates through the start button menus like he has been on the computer for years. What I have done is set up shortcut icons in the Internet Explorer bar and also a custom home page with Google.com where there are very few links but explained to my Luke what each link does. He actually knows that each link goes to either Nick.com or Disney Channel.com, he is a Disney (.com) master. The Disney Channel.com websiteis set up in such a way that it appears as a navigation graphic menu where you can see the different shows they watch on the Disney Channel, he instantly recognizes the shows when he goes onto the website. Unfortunately, he has learned how to turn the speakers up on the PC and my Ava's room is close by so we tell him to keep it down during her nap.

Disney has become an empire if you haven't already noticed with alot of different product lines, not only are their Disney Cruisesamazing where you can bring your children on a cruise line and relax when you know your children are safe but also enjoy fine dining and excursions, it is something I really recommend if you have not already been on a cruise with Disney. Then of course there is Disney Land and Disney World, I am on my to Disney World right now as I write this, I am going down there for work, I am writing to you from New York, Laquidia Airport, just got in from Boston, had a few minutes so I found ita good idea to do some more writing.
The other powerhouse that Disney has is it's enormous selection of Video (VHS and DVD) for classic Disney movies like Cinderallaall the way up to today's top movie blockbusters. The one thing that I heard about recently which has been around for awhile nowis a story of a woman who created movies for kids, Disney bought her small company and it has become the Baby Einstein Company. This is owned by Disney and to my understanding is run separately.
The work of the Baby Einstein company is amazing, they have the Baby Bach Video series and also the Baby Einstein collection.This beautiful collection of toys, children and music will dazzle your baby or toddler. Luke still turns this on from time to time,and it really calms him down. Ava who is only 1 really enjoys the colors and you can just see the delight in her faceas she watches it.

The other big piece that I am really happy about is the way Disney or the Disney Channel structures their TV programming througoutthe day. They really know how to pick the shows at the right times. For example, in the morning they have showsthat are age appropriate for children within a certain age group, then as the afternoon comes in, you can tell they shift gears (in the later afternoon) where they cater to older children (kids). In the evening they bring it up a notch and you have shows like Hannah Montana which by the way is a HUGE hit. so kuds to the Disney Channel. Again, to view some of the show listings, you can always visit the DisneyChannel.com website online.

Keep up the great work Disney Channel.com (.com) you got it going on. Please continue to read my blog as I updatedifferent Disney products online and the different services in a parents point of view for the DisneyChannel.
