GAC at Universal Studios?

[MomofLogan&Evan]

I posted this on the Universal thread, however, I thought many people who visit the disability forum might know additional information!........

We are planning to go to Universal one day on our trip in Sept. My ds(5) is type 1 diabetic and we always get a Guest Assistant Card (GAC) at Disney because his sugar has been known to go very low - once while waiting for a ride. Does anyone know if there is one at Universal? If so, how does it work? Is it different than Disney? We've been to other amusement parks (Hershey Park, Dutch Wonderland) who have different versions of the GAC so I was hoping that Universal had it too. Any insight and your experience with it at Universal would be great. THANKS!

Just time for a really quick post - but, yes Universal does have a Guest Assistance Card that is somewhat like at WDW.
There is more information in the disABILITIES FAQs thread - you can find that thread near the top of this board or follow the link in my signature. Post #1 is an index to where to find things in the thread. One of the posts is about Universal and includes a description that was provided for me by a Universal Guest Services Staff member of the different types of cards at Universal.

Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for!

We got one last week for DS7 who has cystic fibrosis; however, never used it. Basically it worked as a fastpass or express pass. If the lines were really long you presented the card to a CM and they signed it, indicating a time to return.

Even with HP we didn't wait very long -- 20 minutes and that was because the ride was down briefly. If the lines had been excessive we would've used it.
