Hi everyone,
A google search led me to this forum, and I have searched ‘autism’ and ‘guest assistance card’ in the search box but didn’t really find too much. I’m just wondering the process for requesting a GAC for our 5 year old who has autism. I believe I can approach guest services on the day of our visit and request a card. Do I need to show proof of his autism? And is there usually a long line to organise this card? I’ve also read that sometimes the card doesn’t reduce waiting times at all, in those instances we would need to decide if we really wanted to do that ride. Our main concern would be to keep him out of the long line queue so that if he does start to become distressed we could easily leave the queue.
I’d appreciate any advice with either gaining a GAC, or ways to approach two days at the parks with a child with autism. There are two adults and three children in our party, and we have already purchased a 2 day passport on the TDR website. We are coming in mid July.
Thank you in advance
