[Nfbf-l] Release of Audio Description @ WDW

[Paul Kaminsky]

Dwight,
    I hope you gave them a negative review.  I used 
one last year and it was just another item to carry 
around the neck.  What they need to do is to have an 
FM transmitter broadcasting audio within the certain 
attractions.  Then all that is needed is to carry 
one's FM receiving radio, iPod or similar.
    For the hearing impaired at my church we have an 
FM transmitter that broadcast the audio so that 
individuals can bring their own FM receiving radios 
in and listen to the sermon and choir at whatever 
volume level they personally need.
    Essentially that is what Disney is giving us is 
a FM Receiver and they are transmitting the signal 
to it, but it ends up giving the user one more thing 
to carry around the park. We can tune our car radios 
in when entering the park, why not just have it so 
we can tune our own radios in while inside the park?
