[Travelandtourism] Dog Sitting

Tue Mar 27 22:24:17 UTC 2012

Hello Cheryl and everyone,

	I am glad that the headsets and hand-held devices for description
are working. They sound impressive. You mentioned going on _It's _a _Small
_World using one of the devices. I rode the same ride twice at Disneyland in
1996, and enjoyed the music from the various countries represented, but
description would have been even better. I wanted to mention that on the
call, but did not want to go over the hour.

Peter the headsets and hand held device that Disney has is state of the art,
it gives all of this, that is easier than carrying around a map, etc. it
gives this information on it.
Again, I used it, Karl Smith has used it, and others that were on the call
last night that has been in Disney, even Jewel (Amber) was recently at
Disney prior to Convention, she is on our talk list, and used it also while
there in the park.  So these things are working and doing the duties.
In fact, much of the stuff that is being used at Disney is also be looked at
by the other parks throughout the US and the world, at what Disney does.
Leading the Way in Independent Travel!

African Animals.
> Since this type of ride vehicle has floorspace your dog can accompany

vehicle.
