Hi Deb We went on the Disney Cruise with my brother's family 4 years ago. Our daughter is deaf and was 10-years-old at the time. We were very unhappy with Disney's accommodations for deaf children on the cruise to the point where I filed a complaint with the Department of Justice. I am...

There are a lot of options available depending on the kind of attraction and the preferred communication style of your friend. Some of the options are interpreters, reflective captioning, open captioning in the preboard areas, and a handheld captioning device that your friend would carry...

Here's an update: After several phone calls, purchasing tickets through the presale via Ticketmaster, and then making ANOTHER call to the Broadway Series office, I was FINALLY told that if you need tickets for the interpreted show in the appropriate section of the theatre, you need to...

FYI, the touring production of the Lion King is coming to Indianapolis this spring. I called the venue, the Murat Theatre, (317)231-0000 and was told that they will be offering ONE performance with sign language interpreters. It will be Sunday, February 29, at 6:30 p.m. I was told the...

Please, do you mind sharing the code with me, too? Our family is very excited about the Lion King coming so close to home! Thanks! Tina

I heard back from Mark Jones. He says: "Epcot's Mission: SPACE attraction will have video captioning throughout the experience including the preshow, pre-flight briefing, and capsule. The captioning system can be activated by Guests using either the video captioning Activator (remote...

Thanks, Lisa. I did go ahead and email Mark, but have not heard back yet. We don't go until October. I hope you'll get to go on it in August and if so would love to hear what you think. Tina

We are looking forward to experiencing Mission Space this fall. Our 13-year-old daughter is deaf and loves thrill rides. I am curious if any deaf guests have tried it. I wonder how the role-playing aspect is communicated to the riders and whether the jobs duties can be understood through...

Our family had a terrible experience horseback riding with Bayside. My daughter (11) was thrown from her horse when hers and 2 others bolted. My son (7) also fell off. The third child (from another family) managed to hang on until she arrived back at the stables. My son fell on the road, far...

UPDATE: First of all, I apologize to Sue for not responding earlier to her post. I missed it. We did get the note from Christine. Thank you for delivering it. I was under the impression that she had brought it over. She said she had cancelled all rides for the rest of that day; strange...

Thanks for your good wishes. For those of you interested in how the insurance process works, I just received the forms yesterday. They asked us to send: our old (unused) airline tickets and receipts for the new tickets, car rental receipts, intinerary for the trip, receipts for the...

Yes, I guess it turns out that was a very exciting cruise! I heard the 14-year-old jumped on a dare. The medical staff said that at least a couple of times a month they have to evacuate someone. My daughter is doing fine. Thanks for all your positive wishes. She was x-rayed again today...

Thanks for all your good thoughts. We have an appointment tomorrow with the orthopedic surgeon who will x-ray the fracture again and confirm that it was set all right. After being broken for almost 2 days, it was pretty swollen by the time it was reduced. DD very much wants a waterproof...

We were also on the 7/7 Magic sailing (myself, DH, DD11 and DS7). My brother and his wife and 2 daughters, 12 and 15 were with us on the trip. We had a terrific time thanks to the advice from this board: we were 3rd to board, our excursion form was first in the box, we had a wonderful...
