@USC4ever46 I've gotta say that hearing things is less than half the experience at Disney parks. You really have to use all your senses... maybe not smell on the Haunted Mansion, but you even use your sense of touch. The doom buggy's shudder at times during the tour of the mansion as if something is moving it *Tower of Terror music plays*. They really try to think of everything to immerse you into a certain world.

@fluffythumper5 The Disney parks (Disneyland and Disney World at least) now offer headphones, I guess, for parks guests that are blind or have some sort of impaired vision. The video was just giving you a sample of how they describe the ride... could you imagine not being able to see Disney? *shivers* Thank God I'm healthy.
