I am surprised to hear that because one of our parents called disney and was told to always have a medical letter stating the child's issue in order to obtain a GAC. They were told that people were trying to get away with skipping lines and avoind fastpasses. But thank you for the info.

I always carry the diagnosis with me anyway. We had a very bad experience 12/08 after a MVMCP with a CM on a bus.

My son (3 at the time) only was able to handle a couple of rides and that was it for him. We plan to bring him back next year - Oct. 2010. He has improved so much so we're hoping he'll enjoy it more. He absolutely loves Mickey so I'd love for him to meet him.
I am so pleased to hear that you will return with your son. I know how much it has helped mine. It will get easier as time passes, I promise. My son goes on almost all of the rides now and does extremely well. We actually go two to three times a year and it has become a part of his therapy. His OT said it would make or break him after his first trip and it made him. I wish you the best and look forward to hearing about your next trip.
