[Travelandtourism] New York rip Update, we need your input on the trip

[Peter Donahue]

Good afternoon everyone,

     Some of this depends on one's level of expectation. Simply being a 
trip planned specifically for the blind may not be good enough for some 
blind travelers. I know of a company that as a part of it's program for 
recognizing  top achievers holds annual conferences in such places as 
New York City, Las Vegas, and Orlando to name a few. When they're not 
holding conference sessions they're at area attractions. We have heard 
too many audios from top achievers who recounted their trips to 
Disneyworld and Universal Orlando. Here's the kicker. The company in 
question negotiated with Disney and Universal to have exclusive use of 
their theme parks. IN otherwords conference attendees have entry in to 
these parks on special days and evenings and the park is exclusively 
theirs for the day or evening. No one else is admitted while this group 
is in the park. Once conference attendees are inside the park they can 
put their wallets away. Admission to all rides and attractions, meals 
from the various eateries and perchases from park gift shops are picked 
up by the company in question. Now that's worth paying $13,000 for a 
trip like that. That's our expectations for that price.
