I have. So far it's showing normal programming of Henry Hugglemonster. Did a search for the program name also but it didn't find anything. Have set my PVR to record at 7:30, 8:00 and 8:30 hoping they change it but sadly in Canada our programming is very different from the US. (On a side note, just thankful to have the Disney stations back as last fall they were all removed for 4 months - until the outcry brought them back!) I may have to wait for someone to post it on YouTube to watch it. Sadly that happens as many shows do not cross the border. :(

I searched my TV lineup this morning and it wasn't listed as well. just check now (mid day Friday June 10) and it is now listed on Disney (DISe) channel at 8pm ET as "Grand Opening Celebration of Shanghai Disney Resort". I would just keep checking your TV guide since it looks like they are in the process of updating.
