Question about GAC

[staceyhzoo]

Newbie here, Thanks for any help.
I was wondering if we qualified for a GAC. My 3 year old is severly allergic to dairy and corn. I would love to be able to keep her in a stroller when we are in lines for attractions so she cannot touch hand rails and get too close to people with ice cream and other foods. Last time we were in DW she was small enough to carry in lines but now she's too big. I have her convinced the stroller is ok and she will let me push her around, but I know she might change her mind. We do have to carry epipens and medications with us at all times so I have those things to show castmembers if they question the reason. I am sure her dr would write us a note if need be.

Thanks for your help!

If you follow the link in my signature to the disABILITIES FAQs thread and look in post #6, you will find a while section of answers about GAC (Guest Assistance Cards).
There is no specific list of things that 'qualifies' for a GAC and there is no need to have a doctor's note (although some people feel more comfortable asking about a GAC with one).
You just need to be able to explain the needs in a way that the CMs at Guest Relations can understand what your needs are and they have to be able to have some accommodation that will meet the needs. In your case, with a 3 yr old who probably is going to be touching lots of things, using a stroller in line sounds like a reasonable accommodation (that is called using a stroller as a wheelchair).

Just FYI to maybe help ease your mind a little, eating is not allowed in lines (although that doesn't stop everyone, it does make it much less likely).
