    Bad times for SGE

    My biggest issue has been the lack of real binaural audio during many of my visits. I don't mind the attraction, but it is a total fail if only one of the two ear level speakers is working. Even worst, when I'm willing to try the attraction immediately after the experience is over, no cast...

    DHS Update (aka Sounds Dangerous...IS OPEN!?)

    I could never figure out why they didn't just have a few seats with the headphone ports exposed for those who would rather provide their own listening devices. I would have rather plugged in my iPod buds than used those headphones. They were similar to the free headphones found on some flights...

    Captain EO Theater BGM

    Yep, that was it. I loked all over the torrents section for it. Maybe it isn't being seeded right now. I'll be honest, I'm not sure what would be the best way to request it be seeded. But oh I'd love that loop. Do you know its title on MouseBits?

    Captain EO Theater BGM

    Hello, When I visited the Captain EO Tribute at Disneyland I remembered just about everything from my original experience checking it out as a child. However, the time machine really took off when I stepped from the preshow into the theater and heard the background music I had not heard for...

    D'Vine voices debut at Epcot

    Hello, I'm down here at WDW for the week. I'd love to check this out. I'm blind, so the video isn't telling me much about where I can see this live. Please let me know if possible with a detailed description of the location. BTW, Martin, if you see a blind dude walking around WDW, that's...

    The Great Disney iPhone App?

    I just saw the dining app on the store. Do you have it? Does it work well?

    The Great Disney iPhone App?

    I do understand that buses won't ever be trackable like on ctatracker.com that I use every day, but I do know that the actual stops are numbered, and that the number is always associated with a specific destination. Since I cannot read the signs with the stop numbers and associated destinations...

    The Great Disney iPhone App?

    I'm looking for a really great app or apps for my iPhone for an upcoming WDW trip. I am looking for the following features: 1. The ability to get a list of nearby restaurants / attractions based on Location Services. 2. A place to store all of my ADRs and get reminders or add to Calendar...

    Turn a movie into an attraction?

    Flight of the Navigator I would have to say a ride based on Flight of the Navigator would rock. It could replace Body Wars. The plot would be simple. Max has come back to study more Earth species, and is discovered by world authorities and chased around the globe. I remember thinking the movie...

    New Stitch Show on web

    I personally don't have a problem with SGE. I think people have the right to not like it, and it is really understandable considering it replaced a very unique attraction. If it had not replaced something great, I doubt many people would be disappointed with it. For sure, it is not something...

    All Epcot, All the Time (aka Has Disney given up on SSE?)

    Hello, I posted this info in another thread, but it really should have gone here. WHen I experienced the new Audio Description released on March 29th, I heard nothing describing anything but the touch screens on the way down. It described every other part of the ride in seriously great...

    NEW! Audio Description at Walt Disney World

    Well, The answer is yes. The output does exist, as I personally prefer to use iPod earbuds. The reason is simple. You know that people don't like the fact that you must turn up your iPod to drown out the outside world right? Well, the transparency of the buds is enhanced even more if you don't...

    NEW! Audio Description at Walt Disney World

    While reviewing my experience using the device and my binaural audio recordings, I realized somehting interesting. No mention of any scenery at the end of SSE, just explains what happens on screen. It stops talking to you after the future video begins, and starts talking to you again at unload...

    NEW! Audio Description at Walt Disney World

    Well, not exactly. This device won't tell you things as you walk around the park. But as you enter an attraction it will vibrate to alert you to put in your headphones. As an example, when you enter the TTA, the device takes the time while you go through the entrance and up the speed ramp to...

    NEW! Audio Description at Walt Disney World

    It does not. During your ride, the description plays "dry" in sync with the attraction. The idea is to have it act as a layer on top of the already existing experience. I think there would be a real loss otherwise. Now, the "assistive listening" that has been a part of the same device now for...

    NEW! Audio Description at Walt Disney World

    Hello, On March 29th, 2009, Disney released new Audio Description service for visually impaired park guests. The service is added to the already existing hand held captioning and assistive listening. In fact, the same device handles them all. I personally love each and every attraction...

    Scooters and Buses and Waiting, Oh My!

    One thing that never ceases to amaze me is the busses where I live here in Chicago. They pick up citizens with wheelchairs and ECVs usually within about 1 minute or less. The bus bends down, a flap flips up and out the front door creating a ramp, they roll on in. The bus driver then asks two...

    Scooters and Buses and Waiting, Oh My!

    Well, the issue with braille signage is where do you put it? Since bus stops of this design are not common, where would I feel around for such a sign? Braille works when it would be easily encountered. But Disney is particularly bad about their braille. Look around the next time you encounter a...

    Broken Ground?

    Well, here is another thought on this. I'm happy Disney's taking a break to fix things up and "plus" some of their classics with a nice coat of paint and a few little goodies in return to keep us interested. But, I also hope the casual guest who comes once a year and isn't quite into it as the...
