Walt Disney
World offers several different services for those with hearing impairments,
one of which is the Handheld Captioning device.
This portable
captioning system uses a wireless handheld receiver to display text
in locations where fixed captioning systems are impractical, such as
moving attractions. Receivers are available through Guest Relations
and require a $100 refundable deposit (must return item on the same
day for refund).
Note that
not all portions of an attraction may be captioned.

READER
EXPERIENCES
The handheld
captioning device is much like the old portable cassette players in
size and weight, the screen is an LED readout, similar to PalmPilots.
It comes with a thin neck strap that got heavy after a while so be prepared
to carry it in a backpack.
In Epcot,
the device seemed to relay about 80% of the actual narration. Occasionally
the device is not in sync with your exact location in the attraction.
