Pop Century Rooms for Hearing Impaired?

I'm helping some clients of mine plan their trip and 2 of the adults are deaf. Are there special rooms at Pop Century? Any other helpful tips? Thanks in advance!

There are at all resorts (required by the ADA).
The rooms for people with hearing disabilities include:
- a doorbell at the room door that rings a buzzer and also triggers lights to alert someone who can't hear hat someone is at the door

- fire alarms that trigger a loud alarm and also a visual alert (strobe lights) in each room

- a telephone that triggers lights when it rings. They also have TTY devices available

- I have not seen, but heard they may have bed shakers or other alarm clock alternatives available

If they need sign language interpretation at any of the parks, there are regularly scheduled days and times for each park.
Schedules are available at Guest Relations that list specific interpreted show times for all Walt Disney World Theme Parks.
For future visits to request confirmation of interpreted performance schedule OR to request interpretation for other special events and shows, call a minimum of 14 days in advance at 407-824-4321 [voice] or 407-827-5141 [TTY].

As Sue said there is a kit with a door knocker, tty and an alarm clock with a vibrator.
I will be honest with you about the tty. It is easier to just walk down to the front desk as most of the staff are not really familiar with the tty system.

You can call for the schedule for the interpreters. Basically interpreting is available on a rotating schedule in the parks.
Monday and Thursday Magic Kingdom
Tuesday and Friday Epcot
Wednesday and Sunday Studios
Saturday Animal Kingdom

If they plan on going to Hoop Dee Doo or the Luau they can contact Guest Services at least 2 weeks prior to set up interpreting. Some goes for tours like Keys to the Kingdom. Will send you an email address you can send request to. You will not get the schedule until a week prior to the trip as it changes at times. This makes ADRs difficult for meals.
