So as the title says Franklin and me are moving to Albany, GA to work at the GIB Albany Plant. I think this move will be good since its a bigger city and it has BUSES!!! That will be fun to learn how to reuse with a Guide dog, I hope I rember how to travel this way. In other news, I have to pack all my stuff that sould confuse Franklin alot. I think he'll enjoy learning a new town and he'll like bus travel and going to a mall on fridays and weekends.
Yours,
Sean Moore and Southeastern Guide Dog: Franklin

Walt Disney World Trip
Okay this past weekend my parents, Franklin and I went to Florida and to Disney World. Starting off with a late start we left at about 6 and got there about midnight and stayed up until I’d say 2. I had to hear Dad conplain about Franklin being on the bed. So Mom put down a blanket on the top sheets, thinking that would make a differents.
The next morning,
Franklin and I awake, Franklin laying out on the whole of the bed, the blanket forgotten. I get out of bed and shower. Finished we head down to breakfast, a really crappy one, all you can eat, I think. But for $10 it was just bad. The coffee, oh jeez I’ve had better a small Holiday day Inn.
With breakfast finished we head off to Disney World. The park we’re going to is the Magic Kingdom. I found a parking space and take a traim to the entrance and then take the monorail into the main park.
I was hoping to play with the Audio Description device I had read about, but I forgot to ask about it so went without the chance to play with it.
We went on the Huntted Mansion ride. After we got to the main door we were turned back on account because of Franklin and had to use the Wheelchair entrance.
You know I found it odd they let Franklin on the ride, I don’t think, they were thinking. The whole time Franklin wanted to sit and look around, but god I was scared he fall out of the car thing. But he stayed down and rode the whole ride without being freaked out. Some of it we were in midair and then at a angle and Franklin was quite both times.
I tink that is all for day 1 well the parts at are fun with Franklin.
Okay so day 2 we went to Disney's Hollywood studios.After finding a parking space and using the trim again to get to the main gate, I this time remeber to get the device for the blind which has the opinion for audio description for some rides and shows but not enough for me there were alot of rides and shows I think that could add audio description too.
We saw the following shows:
Beauty & the Beast LIVE- had audio description
(NOTE- Device was set up for the Deaf with Captions. How does that help a blind person so I was annoyed the whole show, I had no idea what was going on on stage even if I was in the front row)
Indiana Jones Show- Had Audio Description
(Sounds were turned up for a Deaf person, device crashed and I was able to set up audio descriptions for the rest of the day so YAY.)
Jedi Training Adacemy
Children playing the role of Jedi Padawan and a Jedi Master on Stage. At the end Darth Vader shows up. Children defead Vader. Question- As far as I know Jedi Padawan do not learn to use a LightSaver until their about age 10. The kids were age 6 to 10. Goes against Star Wars Canon and Jedi Rules.
Mosters Inc theme comdey show that is inactive.
Walt Disney: One Man's Dream- had Audio description
Walking through description played automaticily. Not enough detail to get an idea of what one is looking at. No way to reward audio.
Rides
We went on a Star Wars theme ride
Well that's all.
