Hey Adam!
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Mom Panel!
Walt Disney World's commitment to guest with disabilities has not wavered through the transition to the new Disability Access Service Card. They still offer several services to help
guests with visual impairments enjoy a magical time. The first is Audio Descriptions. Through a handheld device, narration is provided which details the action and settings of the attraction or show you are enjoying. Walt Disney World provides a list of
attractions and
entertainment options which you can experience with Audio Descriptions on their website. The devices are available at Guest Services with a $25 deposit which will be refunded to you when you return the device.
The second service provided to visually impaired guests is Braille Guidebooks. These guidebooks are available in all four theme parks and feature descriptions of attractions, restaurants and stores. These are also available at Guest Services. However, there is a limited number of copies and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. They also require a $25 deposit.
For detailed information regarding the new Disability Access Service Card program please check out this
white paper which details other options available to guest with disabilities.
I hope this helps. If you have any more questions please come back and see us.
Have a pixie-dusted day!
