GAC at Universal?????

[riu girl]

Does anyone know if there is something like a GAC offered at Universal? After the marvelous experience we just had at WDW (using a GAC intermittently for our DD7) I would be very leary to go to other attractions in the Orlando area since I'm worried that the staff wouldn't be as incredible with special needs kids as the Disney CM's were (over and over and over again). They just constantly seemed to be offering big Hellos and Smiles for our kids.

An example: we showed up for Dinosaur about 5 minutes before the official closing time. The first CM said that sorry we have just closed the ride. I thanked him and then bent down to explain to DD7 that we would try this ride another time (which she was totally receptive too) then another CM walked over and noticed the GAC in my hand. He quickly talked to someone on his walkie-talkie and VIOLA they escorted us to the entrance of the ride. I couldn't believe it. Trust me, I am not the kind of person who looks for special treatment but this just happened.

basically at universal they don't have a GAC but if go to guest services, explain your need they will provide a express pass for alternative entrances. at least that is what they do for me. and my annual pass is already noted. so each visit i just stop by guest services, hand them my annual pass, and they give me express pass for number of guests with me (which usually is iether just me or one other person).

i have found Universal staff very helpful, supportive, and more than willing to go out of their way to offer assistance as needed.
