i'm visually impaired and its difficult to navigate in the dark especially when its a wide open area.
i'm going solo in april and i've planned to leave HS and MK prior to it getting dark but i love watching illuminations at epcot which for me of course is the most difficult park to navigate at night and will be hard to find the POP bus stop.
i will have my cane which i use just for identifying purposes and i will have a couple of small flash lights.
if i go to guest relations during the day and let them know my situation do you think they would allow me to come back right after illumminations and assist me to the POP bus stop?
or is this asking way too much?
i wish they had more assistance available for the visually impaired so that a service like this was already in place and i wouldn't have to wonder if they would do it for me or not.
i was thinking that if southwest airlines will have an employee assist the visually impaired through the airport then why not disney ya know?
i'm sure that even if specifically requesting this type of service is unreasonable that if i am lost and in the dark i can ask someone and they will help me but of course i'd rather not get into that situation to begin with if i can help it.
in fear of having to ask for help from a stranger and feel stressed out i've considered not staying to see illuminations but its really one of my absolute favorite things at WDW so its hard to give it up.
