GAC while in wheelchair?

[EveDallas]

My DS15 is going to be in a wheelchair due to a broken leg. He also has Asperger's and ADD. In the past I've gotten him a GAC allowing him to wait in an alternate area. Will I still be able to get this even though he is in a wheelchair? Waiting is not an issue for him, but waiting with large crowds in an enclosed area causes him a lot of anxiety.

Being in a wheelchair does not mean that he doesn't have invisible needs. Absolutely get the GAC if his needs that he's had every other trip are still present. When we were there with DD11 in a wheelchair due to a broken ankle, we definitely needed DD14's GAC to explain her needs because a wheelchair handles a very different need than my Aspie needs.

I was just there last week, and getting a GAC was no problem at all. The CM at the Guest Services said that it would be necessary to speak with the CMs at each attraction, since each attraction has varying degrees of flexibility when it comes to "quiet areas". We used fastpasses as much as possible, and had our stroller as a wheelchair, and most of the wheelchair waiting areas were fairly quiet/secluded, so you should be ok.

Just know that some alternate entrances can still be quite busy (even with a GAC). At GMR, the alternate entrance can get quite backed up at times
