Breakthrough Wireless Service For Guests With Hearing Disabilities
Enhancing its services for guests with hearing disabilities, the Walt Disney World® Resort has developed a pioneering program to provide synchronized captions via wireless technology at popular theme park attractions.
The breakthrough service was created by Disney engineers in Florida to exceed the expectations of guests with hearing disabilities by utilizing recent advances in wireless communication. Using a handheld receiver, Walt Disney World Resort guests are now able to read captions while enjoying theme park attractions where captioning had previously been impractical or impossible, such as rides that send guests through multiple show scenes or outdoor environments. Guests can pick up the device at Guest Relations.
Wireless signals throughout participating attractions automatically trigger synchronized captions on the handheld device in real time, an innovation that allows guests with hearing disabilities to more fully experience the magic of the Walt Disney World Resort. Portable captioning will be available at more than 20 Walt Disney World attractions by the end of 2001 with expansion planned at the Walt Disney World Resort and the Disneyland® Resort.
