handheld captioning device for hearing impaired

[Diamond_Girls]

I was reading about a device that WDW offers for rent/loan each day at the parks. It is a wireless, handheld receiver to display text in locations where fixed captioning systems are impractical. Has anyone ever used this device?

We have 2 hearing-impaired in our party and are wondering how to handle park-hopping. It appears that you have to turn in the device at each park when you leave and we are hoping that is not the case.

Also, since we need two, it is a $200 deposit. Does anyone know whether we can use our credit card for this as it is returned when the device is turned in...

thanks for your help!

You might want to post this on the disABILITIES board. They know everything there!

Thanks! I didn't even know there was a disability board. I will read/post there. Thanks again!
