[Justin Williams]

Oops,  well, I don't have one.  Hopefully, I can tag along with one of you
who has one and knows how to use it.

It's my understanding that some of the amusement parks, Disney in
particular, 
have hand held GPS tools available for you to use.  I know people who have
been 
able to get around the park independently, if you know how to use a GPS.

Yes, I suggest that you go directly to the Guest Relations office and tell
them 
your situation.  As an accommodation, amusement parks generally can provide
a 
park employee to walk/direct you to each ride.  I've been to both Magic 
Mountain, and to Great America in California and had a park employee assist
my 
group with getting around the park.  I've never been to a park in Florida,
but 
the same accommodation should apply.  I was able to do this the day of but
just 
to make sure, you may want to call Guest Relations in advance.  Good luck
and 
have a blast!
