Autistic children -wdw

[Netty]

Autistic children at wdw can obtain a wdw special assistance card.
Bring a doctors note to the guest relations window at any disney theme park and ask for the guest assistant card. 1 card does all 4 parks.
The card is a special pass designed to allow you to wait in a seperate, uncrowded holding area apart from the regular queues at most attractions.
I hope this info is of any help.

Thanks Netty

When we go to a theme park in the UK,we take the letter saying DS is in receipt of disability living allowance and this is fine.

We have never applied for a GAC in the US,but might do this October.Is it only a doctors letter that can be used to confirm the persons disability?

Hi
We've got GAC's for our DS (5) who has ASD, bith in WDW and in DLP. Both times, although we had our DLA letter, they didn't want to see it. Clearly the presence of DS running around flapping and singing was proof in itself .

They have been very useful both times. Though we try to get him to queue as much as poss, it's useful for the first time he goes on a ride, when he won't queue at all because he's unsure of what's going to happen. He'll go on once with the GAC, then if he likes it, he's quite happy to queue for a second go.

They also do things like this at Legoland and Alton Towers. It's always worth asking.
