Rides to use GAC passes

[thumpersfriend]

Just wondering what rides at the MK and Epcot have the lines for children with autism? Anyone know? How do you work Dumbo, Small World, etc? Is there a website for this?

There really are no "lines" for children with autism or websites, etc. The Guest assistance card can be requested for a wait in a quiet area or to use an alternate entrance ( the wheelchair accessible entrance) etc. but are not intended to offer immediate access to the ride. Immediate access is only given to "wish" children and their parties. It is best to go to Guest Services and explain your childs needs so an appropriate card can be given to assist you.---Kathy

As was already mentioned, the GAC is not a pass and there are no special 'disability lines'. The GAC is a tool to let the CMs know what sorts of assistance is needed for people with disabilities. If you haven't already, check out the GAC (Guest Assistance Card) information in the disABILITIES FAQs thread. That should answer a lot of your questions.

When using the GAC, enter through the FP line. For rides that do not offer FP, enter through the HC entrance. Before entering, find a Cm and show them the cArd. they will guide you where to go from there.

Good Luck !!

ALL Guests entering an attraction should first approach the Greeter - the person at the entrance to the attraction, line, or path. Guests with special needs - e.g. wheelchair, GAC, service dog - will then be instructed/directed/whatever on how and or where to access the attraction.

Thanks, but what rides at the MK and "Epcot have fast passes? Is there a list of them anywhere. I understand about the GAC now but what rides there have fast pass?

Not all GACs allow use of the Fast Pass line; the message on the GAC depends on the needs of the person, so not all people with GACs have needs that require the Fastpass line.
Most attractions don't have a specific handicapped entrance and those that do, often don't have a really visible entrance to it.

The best bet is to contact the CM at the entrance to the queue, show them the card and then follow their directions.

If you are able to use FastPass, that provides the most consistent way to go on an attraction. For some people actually it works better than using a GAC; you know when you get into the line that you will be wating for up to 15 minutes and then board.

Here is a link to the DIS page about FastPass, which includes information about how it works plus a list of attractions. They are also marked on the park maps with a FastPass icon.
