UPDATE: Families Needed for DVC Trav. Chan. Special! (#1)

[administrator]

UPDATE: I added Allison Tom's email address (which I seemed to have forgotten in my original cut and paste) to the bottom of this post. Many apologies for the lousy editing job.


I received the following email from Allison Tom. While I cannot guarantee its authenticity, I can say that I did check this out on the web, and also called CA early this morning to see if, in fact, the phone number connected to Allison Tom at Edelman Productions. It does.

Hello,

We are producing a tv special for the Travel Channel featuring Disney
World! The topic of this show is about the Disney Vacation Club Villas.
Ideally, we are interested in casting families that have been a part of the
clubs before and are familiar with their properties, amenities, etc.

Families must be out-going, lively and comfortable being in front of the camera.

If you or anyone you know is interested or if you have a place to post this on your site, please have anyone interested get in touch with me by Monday, May 19, 2008.

We plan on shooting the show in Orlando and/or at nearby destinations
featuring the Disney Vacation Villas in June, 2008. More details will follow.

If you have any additional questions, feel free to call.


It¹s a fun and exciting opportunity!

Any questions, let me know!

Thanks so much!

Best regards,

Allison Tom

I love the Travel Channel shows. This should be a great episode. I'm not one to be in front of the camera but I'm sure there are plenty of people that would love to do it. Looking forward to seeing it on TV.:clappingh

We just returned home TODAY from our first DVC vacation! We used our points at the Grand Californian Hotel at the Disneyland Resort. What a great experience. We are submitting our info to see if we can be a part of this.

Thanks for passing along the info!

I don't understand. To whom and to where (email address, postal mail, phone) are we to submit our information? Are we to call Allison Tom? Perhaps I've missed something here...

Thanks.
