Not all special needs find children in a wheelchair. That seems obvious but, if you notice, those are pretty much the special needs that are accommodated out in the world. At theme parks, there are special wheelchair accessible entrances and systems put into place to allow guests in a wheelchair access to rides themselves. All of this is great! It really is. But what about people with other things going on? That is why Disney offers the Guest Assistance Card (GAC) at their theme parks. They recognize that their guests have a wide variety of needs and they are committed to assisting each one as individually and personally as possible.

The important thing is, when you are talking to the folks at Guest Relations, remember to be as specific as possible about your family's needs so that the Disney Cast Members can help you to come up with the best solution possible. A doctor's note is not required to receive a Guest Assistance Card but, if it's possible to get one, it certainly can't hurt.
