Guest Assistance Pass requirements!

[Frenchie]

The Unofficial Guide said I should obtain a note from my doctor stating that my son has Autism. I did this but the Disney staff did not ask to see it. They use the honor system.

My mother in the wheelchair was asked to see her pass. Be sure to take your blue parking pass with you to Guest Services to get the correct pass.

Re: Guest Assistance Passes
Can A Parent With A Disability(me) Get A Pass, Since I Can't Wait In Long Lines When I Take My Toddler On Rides?
Thanx, Mary

[Whitequeen]

Yes, you can Mary. Explain to Guest Services your disability and they will issue you a pass that will make the CMs at the entrance to ride aware of your needs. It will not get you to the front of the line but will have your experience whilst waiting more comfortable.

I never thought of taking DD's blue card with us to get the GAC card, do we not need it for the parking?

[Whitequeen]

Yes, Tricia. Wave it wildly at anyone who cares to take notice and follow the blue lines on the road.:thumbs:

[triciacarole]

Thanks Lesley, but if do I need to leave it on the dashboard once parked
? otherwise it would be difficult to take it to Guest Services for a GAC.

[Whitequeen]

Ah, now there's a thought. I think it should be ok to take it. You've already been directed to Handicapped parking so they won't go round checking the cars. Yes, I'd park and take it.:thumbs:

[triciacarole]

Thanks :)

[Whitequeen]

Oh, and while we're here Tricia. I parked the car right up the front of handicapped at MK one night.............for research purposes, of course.:)
All you have to do is go down the path under a small bridge and up the other side and you're at T&TC for getting on Monorail.:thumbs:

[MARY59]

in what way do they make it more comfortable?
thanx, mary

[Whitequeen]

That all depends what your disabilities are. With some rides you may enter by the exit which is under cover on others you'll be encouraged to use the fastpass system. Depending on the amount of others with disabilities waiting it could be a 5 minute wait or 20 minutes.

[MARY59]

sorry for sounding so dum but what is fast pass system?

[Whitequeen]

You put your park entrance ticket into the fast pass machine for a particular ride and it will issue you a ticket telling you the time to return to that ride. You then enter throught the fast pass line which will be considerably shorter than the stand-by line. This is available to all guests.

[triciacarole]

Thanks for that Lesley :)

[Whitequeen]

No problem. All in a day's work for an MK Parking Lot Tester.:D

We had the guess assistance pass for my daughter. We use to wait for about four families to go and the we could go on. The longest we waited was 10 minutes.:)

[triciacarole]

I am prepared to wait like everyone else, however it is no good for DD to be sat in her chair in the sun for too long, or at a low level where she gets knocked by everyone's backpacks.

Most families would wait but as we all know with a child with special needs or adult that life is not always that easy.

[triciacarole]

I understand, I am fortunate that DD only has mobility problems.
