| wheelchair/gac question Hello. On my magical gathering trip we will also have my 94year old grandmother with us. Now, honestly, I advised them against this. I just don't think it is a good trip for her. Not that Disney isn't great for people with issues, it is just that she had a stroke and isn't that aware anymore. I think my mother and aunt are bringing her more out of guilt than any enjoyment she will get on the trip. Now that I vented! My questions is about her and the GAC card. We are not planning on moving around as a pack of 20+ people, but if we did, how many people are allowed to enter thru a wheelchair entrance with her? I know about the fastpass stuff, but what about rides like Small World and Spaceship Earth where they have a seperate entrance? She uses a wheelchair or a walker. Since we don't plan on carrying the walker around, she won't be able to walk too far to get on a ride. Thanks as always for any help you can offer! |

There are times when there may not be room for that many - for example for shows, there is usually one seat for a companion for each wheelchair spot. The rest of your family will usually be directed to a row behind or in front of the wheelchair. For Small World, the wheelchair boat sits 7 people (6 seats plus a spot for the wheelchair). For Spaceship Earth, 6 people total would not be a problem. There is more information about GACs in a thread near the top of this board.  | |
