Through a small handheld device, people who are blind or vision impaired can receive description of outdoor locations and choose the type of information they would like to receive. This includes information about attractions, restaurants and entertainment.
The devices, provided at no cost to guests, have been available in over 30 indoor attractions and rides since 2009. They include audio description for the blind and vision impaired, and amplified sound and closed captioning for the Deaf and hearing impaired.
Plans for the outdoor enhancements were announced in June last year.
Disney is currently facing a lawsuit over a lack of accessibility for people who are blind and vision impaired, filed earlier this year in the U.S.
