Disney has released a new technology feature that will help visually impaired park visitors. On Disney’s custom wireless hand-held devices that the park offers to individuals with disabilities, there is a new feature: Audio Descriptions.

These Audio Descriptions provide a narrative of what is happening on a ride or in a show for the visitor to hear while they are participating.

During the Haunted Mansion ride the Audio Description device says: “Our doom buggy rotates and we face backward. To our left, a knight’s armor guards an endless hallway. On our right, wilted flower arrangements surround a coffin. An eerie light escapes as bony hands push up the lid.”

Currently the following attractions have the Audio Description feature:

- Disneyland Railroad
- Alice in Wonderland
- Peter Pan
- Pinocchio
- Small World
- Snow White
- Buzz Lightyear
- Finding Nemo
- Honey, I Shrunk the Audience
- Tiki Room
- Haunted Mansion
- Pirates of the Caribbean
- Winnie the Pooh
- Monsters Inc.
- MuppetVision
- Tough to be a Bug
- Turtle Talk
