Ethical dilemma

[MSSANDRA]

Suggest than she take the card AND your special needs son, and you will take her son for the day. Bet that would change her mind. Really, angry wife or not, it is wrong and you need to just say no.

"Sorry, that makes me uncomfortable."
Talk to your wife ahead of time though.
You're right to say no if you are uncomfortable with its use or misuse, and just ask your wife to respect your feelings on this one.

I would say no it is for people with disabilities. I would also explained that cheating the system isn't the kind of lesson you want to teach your child

If that GAC card gets taken away, then your son loses access to it. It's making the trip easier for him. It's not fair to risk HIS vacation to convenience someone who doesn't have a disability.

I think I'd be fine saying any of these things to someone I'm with. They need to understand that by you 'lending' the GAC to them, you would be jeopardizing your son's chances of ever getting it again if they were caught.

Tell her the GAC is your son's so not yours to decide about anyway.

These threads confuse me to no end. If this woman has been with you
the whole week, surely she knows the GAC doesn't reduce wait time (at least that is the adamant assertion by most posters on this board who use GAC). Why does the woman want to use your GAC?

Because it's clearly reducing wait times.

I would simply laugh and make a joke out of it and say "haha. You can have the GAC when you have he disability. You don't really want it. "

HOnestly, in my real world life, people who say stupid things like that don't really deserve any answer. Just don't give her the GAC.

Not sure where you get your numbers but there is no way of knowing that. I don't look like I need one but I do as a lot of people with GAC's sorry you feel that way but I learned not to judge or guess a long time ago you can not tell what hidden problem another guest might have

I agree. Someone's guess that 50% are abused is just that - a guess that they have no way of knowing.

I'm going to close this thread at this point because it has been thoroughly discussed.

The GAC is for the use of the person it is issued to and is for attractions that person will be going on.

Any other use, lending it or whatever, is misuse.
