[img]/ubb/images/graemlins/foreheadslap.gif[/img]I would like to share my experiences with the GAC. Before I knew about it, I suffered through WDW vacations & didn't get to do much. Then I discovered GAC & it has made all the difference in the world! On one trip, before I had it, I wasted thousands of dollars going to WDW, buying tickets, with my then 4 year old son. I have chronic Lyme disease, CFS/fibromyalgia & asthma; my son had sensory integration problems. Only because we had free airline tickets from my husband's job, did I think I could do it alone. Well, got there, paid $1400 for weeklong tickets (2001) for Danny & me. Went to MK & everything broke down. I could barely get back to the hotel, had to have my husband come from NH to help us get home, & lost lots of money & even worse, my dignity. Now, even though other people can't "see" my disabilities, I just remember the "disaster" trip & I don't feel funny or like I have to explain to people. (well ok I still feel the need to explain, but I know I shouldn't feel it!) [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Best to everyone. Oh, on last trip, they were reluctant to give card to me even with a doctor's note, but I had card from previous visit & that helped. I also know someone who went in April 2005 & were denied but went back a couple days later & got it. Maybe they are getting stricter since more people know about it & are using it, like me? Even if we really need it? Funny how none of the Disney disability info ever mentions such really helpful assistance. It shouldn't just be for those in the know. That's why I like bringing the MD letter, so it distinquishes real disabled folks from those trying to abuse the system.
