[Travelandtourism] Exciting news from Disney about Audio description

[Barry Campbell]

Cheryl:
  I love the Poloneasean, haven't stayed there since I was a kid but manage
to go over there and eat at Ohana's or to the show.  That was always my
favorite place to visit.  Guess that was the beginnings of my parrot head
lifestyle.

Have a great weekend.

Thank you Barry, the ones that I have used at the works have worked 
sporadically lets hope that get it right, I will not be there this year, but

will be going to Disney in 2011 for the 40th Anniversary of Walt Disney 
World the office date is October, but we will be there in November for our 
Anniversary, want to stay this time at the Polynesian Resort, we love the 
spirit of Hawaii Show which is a luau dinner and show, some people think it 
is cheesy it was our fist time there at the show August 2009 and we loved 
it. I plan on taking videos of all places I got for the business, I 
currently have video on the Norwegian Jewel on May 22, 2010 and on my 
facebook page and youtube search youtube.com for angeldn3 you will be able 
to hear my videos. etc.
