GAC is exactly like a "fast pass"
I just returned from a seven day trip in June. My 12 yr old lives with autism. The GAC allowed us to enter every Fast Pass lane on every attraction that had one. If it did not have a fast pass lane there is an area designated for "waiting". The CM's work in a timely manner. We NEVER waited longer than my son could tolerate, and if he started to have difficulty we declined to experience that attraction. The GAC pass is an autism life saver. We will use it again on our next trip. and yes the guest services CM did read our DR's note. it specifically states that my son has difficutly waiting for long periods of time.
Doctor letter really needed??
I am so thankful I found this board, only I'm hoping it isn't too late to take advantage of the cool ideas here. My son is autistic and I would love to be able to use the "fast pass" card for him, but we are leaving in five days and the doctor cannot get us a letter by then. Will they turn us down without one?? He loves rides, but standing in long lines will not fly with him!!
Thanks for all the helpful hints!! Again, wish I had found this sooner!!!:thumbsup:
