We live near Disneyland. My wife has Aspergers and while she's always loved Disney, she would hesitate to go because of the huge crowds and sometimes tight queue lines. We recently learned about the GAC, and now she wants to go all the time since she can ride the often crowded Fantasyland Attractions without all the anxiety that would make her want to run. So as an Anniversary Present, her parents bought us both Premium Annual Passes. When we go, we always stop at Guest Services and get a GAC. Sometimes we get the card with no questions. Sometimes, even with the MD note, the Cast Member will ask other questions. A couple of times we were given the wrong card. (We got a wheelchair stamp, when what she needs shows a red arrow peeling away from a straight line.)

She feels bad sometimes because we're not trying to screw the system and cut the line, and we only use it at the attractions where the queue is cramped. She's starting to get anxiety about having to justify her disability everytime we go (which is about once a week).

Is there a way to get Guest Assistance as part of your Annual Pass? Or even get a card that lasts until your pass expires? They always stamp it with THAT DAY's date.
