Hi all. Last week I went to Orlando for  a vacation. Needed a nice warm 
place rather than the cold cold climate where I live in Maine. I went to two 
theme parks: Disney's Magic Kingdom and Universal Studios Islands of 
Adventure. Disney had a wonderful device that was equipped with GPS. I wore 
it around my shoulders and it provided me with info when I passed certain 
things like restaurants, bathrooms, rides, etc. When on the ride, it would 
provide me with audio descriptionat the appropriate points throughout the 
ride. Universal was another story. Nothing was mentioned about blind people 
on their website, nothing was available in Braille, and I was treated as if 
I was from another planet..
I am mentioning this on this list because I don't know who to contact. NFB 
will be in Orlando, and I'd think the least Universal can do is provide 
things in Braille.  At the very least!!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to email me off list if you 
have any other questions. My email is: hope.paulos at gmail.com
Sincerely,
Hope Paulos
