Sebastian's hits (a way to glimpse the Port Orleans and Yacht and
Beach Club Resorts...New Orleans Mardi Gras song "Iko Iko" made
famous by the Dixie Cups and the Neville Brothers is heavily
Disney-ized, like by 180-degrees, but otherwise this is a delightful
show).  30 minutes, 1991  November 3 2 pm Eastern.
***END SPOILERS***
 
October 23, 3-6 am Eastern:  Walt Disney Presents:  Backstage Party,
Disneyland After Dark, Mouseketeer Reunion.  No program descriptions.
 
Also a lot of Halloween related shows, October 22 through November,
like Disney DTV Monster Hits, The Canterville Ghost, Casper's
Halloween Special, and a movie called A Disney Halloween, and the
Adventures of Ichabod ad Mr. Toad (and we know Mr. Toad from Mr.
Toad's Wild Ride at DL and WDW).
 
The old Zorro TV series is being brought back on the Disney Channel
too, Tuesdays at 7:30 pm and Sundays at 1:30 pm Eastern, in color
(wasn't it shot in black & white??  Have they colorized them? -- The
promos for this show look like they have...)
 
And catch "The Making of Sgt. Pepper", showing around on the Disney
Channel.  It' a fascinating glimpse into the creative process of
the Beatles making a record album in the late '60s.
