Yes, they have been bombarding you some, but it would honestly be the last
channel to which I would unsubscribe!  I have a 2 1/2 year old girl, a 1 year
old boy and a 3 week old boy.  Our daughter LOVES the channel, sings all
the songs, talks about the characters on "Pooh's Corner" and "Dumbo's Circus".
We currently get HBO, Cinemax, and the Disney channels.  The Disney channel
would honestly be the last one I would drop.  It is HARD to find programming
that children can watch.  They have many animal type movies and shows, too.
She loves watching the animals.  And watch out when "DTV" comes on.
Both of the older ones start dancing.  My wife enjoys the movies.
I've liked seeing the animated movies, and some of the "odd" old disney movies.
My wife likes those more than I.

They have been hitting you with a number of good movies in the past four
days, but remember that most (all?) have been shown during this summer.
They're trying to show you what you have been missing over the past few months.
You can always cancel if you don't feel it is giving you your money's worth.
