    Replacement for GAC

    Well, to be fair, you are now :lmao: (I joke)

    Replacement for GAC

    Have you been to either WDW or DL before? Ignoring the change, the problem is that there are very few rides where you could wait on a bench and join your family when they get to the front of the line. You'd have to be waiting outside of the ride and then push through everyone to get to the...

    Replacement for GAC

    I think the poster (BigAlsGal) meant that the person you were replying to (wiscbugs) would enjoy the crow.

    Replacement for GAC

    It's already limited to 6 (the person needing the GAC and 5 others). The GAC is not used on buses, but there it should still only be six. The problem is that there is no limit, the problem is the apparent lack of enforcement (I've never seen more than a couple of people board with someone in a...

    Replacement for GAC

    They should still slow/stop those rides - no change there. They are still going to have to do that for those in wheelchairs or on ECVS etc. We do? Do you have anything to back up this claim? It was my understanding that it actually started exactly for the people who you seem to want to...

    Replacement for GAC

    GACs are only good for attractions - not characters (unless they are at an attractions), restaurants, or buses. Some families avoid the bus issue by driving, others avoid the buses at peak times and travel when lining up isn't necessary (though, of course, waiting still is). As for...

    Replacement for GAC

    Just an FYI - not all MAW children have a terminal illness. It did used to be that way, but the mandate of the MAW foundation (and other foundations like it) has changed. Not that it changes your point, but many people do still think that all MAW have terminal illness.

    Replacement for GAC

    MAW is supposed to be about making the trip the most amazing experience possible - to (in some small way) make up for whatever it is the child is going through. GAC/DAS, on the other hand, is supposed to give everyone (disabled or not) the same experience. It is not supposed to make up for...

    Replacement for GAC

    Hope her birthday trip is amazing! Sorry, when you said: I read that as YOUR concerns not THE concerns (clearly, I need to work on my reading skills). I was thinking that your comments on the 5 minute walk not always being a 5 minute walk was referring to your mother's speed of getting...

    Wedding gift - gift receipt

    I'm joining the "you are over reacting crowd". Unless she hounded you about the receipt, I really don't see the big deal in simply asking if you have one.

    Replacement for GAC

    It is my understanding that those in wheelchairs or ECVs do not need a GAC and will not need a DAS (unless they have other issues, not covered by the wheelchair). The mobility device tells the CM what assistance they need, and, at WDW, most lines are mainstreamed anyway, so those guest go...

    Replacement for GAC

    We also would have major issues going through the full line. However, the change is still going to allow us (and you) to go through the FP line and/or exit (depending on the ride). The change just prevents using the GAC as an unlimited FP (it has become a limited FP).

    Replacement for GAC

    I do have a loved one with a disability and I agree with them. It used to bother a lot when people would say that the GAC didn't act as a FP and led to a longer wait - when we used it, it essentially worked at an unlimited fast pass and I fully acknowledge that it was a "perk" rather than...

    Favorite butternut squash recipes?

    Here's my favourite soup. I use fat free milk and skip the yoghurt swirl, so it is pretty low in fat. Curried Squash Soup INGREDIENTS 2 Tbsp butter 1 large onion, chopped 1 Tbsp flour 2 cups stock (veggie or chicken) 400g squash, cooked (about 1 medium, doesn’t need to be exact) 1...

    What would you have done?

    But there are myriad options between those two responses.

    What would you have done?

    But you have no problem judging a family (the ones you planned on insulting) despite not knowing their situation? Many posters here have children who act (when in public) in ways that other people do not understand, I can only imagine their feelings if someone reacted to their child in the...

    Wedding Experience: What's YOUR norm??

    Funny, we live in the same area and my experiences are very different. I'd never heard of "cover your plate" until the DIS and we tend to give actual gifts (though generally sent directly to the couple, not brought to the wedding). The price of gifts ranges from $50 to $150 per person (I've...

    Replacement for GAC

    Weird. Other than Peter Pan and TTA (which they cannot do), we've never had a problem. The proposed changes should have no bearing on that. ETA - I didn't mean this to sound like I don't believe you, I totally do. It is just that you shouldn't have had problems.

    Replacement for GAC

    I don't see how. Different disabilities are different and, thus, require different ways to make the experience as much like the the experience of a non-disabled person as possible. Making lines through which a wheelchair can pass does this for someone in a wheelchair. The new DAS is an...
