disability pass

[ilovemymac]

I was told or read in one of the Universal guides that if you have a disabiliy that keeps you from enjoying the wilder rides such as the coasters and BTF and others simmelar that you can get a discounted pass (which i allready got the annual pass so that doesnt matter) and you get to get in sooner to rides and other things because you are not riding most of the rides.
Anyone know about this?

Universal has GAP (Guest Assistance Passes). You do not need a doctor's note just be able to tell them what assistance you need at Guest Services.

Both parks are ADA compliant and, as such, are wheelchair accessible. There are several types of GAP offered:
Stroller as a wheelchair (you an take your stroller right through the line without transferring to a wheelchair)
Show GAP (Special seating at shows--usually right up front)
Stairs GAP (for those rides that have stairs in the queue, you can use the elevator)
Familyroom GAP (where you wait in an airconditioned room with a few other family members while the rest of your family goes through the queue--then you join them at the front of the line)
Express GAP which is esentially like a fast pass at Disney all day (6 people maximum)
VIP Gap (back door access--mostly for Make a Wish Kids or Give Kids the World)

what does express gap do for you

 

[phamton]

Express gets you in the express line. It is mostly reserved for families with autistic children. You will probably be offered the family room GAP.

well its just me and my wife its not like there are a bunch of us.
Maybe i should just use the express line for regular people

I'm not sure why you would be in line if you aren't riding. If you are riding, my suggestion is for your wife to buy an express for herself and for you to get a Family Room Gap and then join her when she gets to the front of the line. You won't have to wait long that way.

By the way, I love my Mac too!

im glad you love your mac i have loved mine for years i have been a mac user for years.
i want to ride some of the rides my wife is not a rollar coaster fan either so we were looking to ride the lesser thrill rides.
maybe we wont have a long wait time the time of year we are going. I just cant stand in line for hours. to explain why i cant would take to long but its combination of lots of things.

I got my first Apple in 1987 and I've been a Mac user since then. We are a four Mac family and one lap top PC that no one uses.

I'm curious about the Familyroom GAP. DS7 has pretty severe asthma. Right now it's not at the point where we need an airconditioned room (or a GAP of any kind), but if it got to that point how would this GAP work? As a single parent I can't be both in line and in the family room with him.

You generally don't have to stand in line for hours, the most I've waited was about 30-45 minutes. Just go in the offpeak seasons and you should be fine.

well we are going first week of may so hopefully that is an off season time

I've gone the first week of May (generally May 1st - 3rd) and it's been pretty quiet.

In your case a family room wouldn't work if you are alone with the kids. You would probably need the express GAP.

As far as going the first week in May, the lines will be very short.
