I noticed a group of people that looked like they were filming something. Then I noticed Samantha Brown. Shes the host from the travel channel that does passport to Europe and all of the disney programs. She did the newer christmas one this past year. I went over and introduced myself. I talked to her about fast passes. I know, I'm a nerd. It was just neat to meet someone I watch on tv all the time.

Then, about 8-9 years ago, Samantha Brown took over, and that just happened to be around the time that those sorts fo channels (Discovery, Travel, TLC, HGTV, etc) really seemed to take off. I don't know what all she is responsible for, but there are definately others involved (I'm pretty sure she just does what they tell her to). Still, she's a great host that can make even the most boring location seem really interesting and exciting enough to make me want to plan a trip there. I definately wouldn't mind having that job for a few years...or decades...
Originally Posted By brotherdave I agree. Tracy Gallagher is great, too. But Samantha really helped to put the Travel Channel 'on the map' (pun intended), so to speak!

As for the last post...well I'm going to have to just ignore that one. It's not as though I have enough competition now those that shouldn't even be interest are making threats. I can't be watching everybody.

She was sitting on a bench by herself reading her hand written lines out-loud to herself when I came and said hi.
