    I tried to send this within your contact page but every time I hit “send” – it didn’t!

    Yes, I get it, you need to bring in income by utilizing Google Ad Sense within your site. But… It’s highly annoying and it destroys the continuity of your articles!
    Your staff works hard to bring wonderful articles to your site, but having annoying static and video ads populate while trying to read your articles, often “pushing them down” as one is trying to look at them, just defeats the purpose and quite frankly, sometimes I just give up!

    I use my iPad Pro with Safari, and yes I admit I have an ad blocker (doesn’t seem to work on your site). Why? The same reason I record and then scrub through ads watching TV. The same reason years ago I stopped subscribing to certain magazines because articles were so full of ads it became hard to read them (back when folks took magazines).

    Example was today: I tried to play the video about Richard Gerth (the gentleman who greeted guests at the Grand Floridian). But it would not play. It would start, then stutter, then stop. Why? Because of all the other junk ads that kept populating and playing within that article!

    Do you understand that these ads are highly detrimental to YOUR HARD WORK? Do you know that they are using data, band width, battery life, and collecting your readers information?

    When these ads “play” they are basically blocking an even stream that your articles need. It’s like a dozen beavers building dams on a river. The river’s flow is interrupted! That is what is happing on your site!

    Please, reconfigure your pages to maybe have STATIC ADS ONLY that are shown down the right side. If something is pertinent to your viewers they will take a look. But let us enjoy your articles. If you need to enact a premium membership to make money, fine. Just get rid of these annoying ads!

    Thank you – And I hope you view your site as I would to understand what I mean, and I hope I hear back.

    I am absolutely in favor of an animatronic Mr. Gerth greeting us at the front door. Everybody should sign that petition.

    With any luck we get somebody famous to voice “Welcome Home.”

      I agree, honor this man who made so many happy simply by his smile and greeting. It’s those case members who are so dedicated like the beautiful lady who works at the Polynesian- she’s been there for years and makes us smile each visit.

  3. Anyone want to help me get one going for my grandma Auntie Kau’i? My cousins and I talk about how they should have a life size statue of her sitting where that tiki is in front of the Spirit Of Aloha dinner show. They both deserve it?

      Your Auntie Kau’i was a beautiful fixture at the Polynesian and we so enjoyed seeing her each time we visited over many years. She gave my daughter and I lessons on many occasions. We had our photo taken with her as she was as big of a celebrity as seeing Mickey for us. She had share her history with us. I am so sorry for your loss. I will help in anyway.
      Both these cast members will be missed by so many.
