And there is a limit. Usually it's a total of 6 people.
You are 100% correct and I think that there are people who do not understand what the GAC is really for. When we went to WDW our first 2 times with our on it was tough because he could not handle the mass crowds of people on top of him. He would have to stay in his stroller a lot too because it was his "safe" place. The GAC allowed us to keep him in the stroller until we reached the actual ride and that made it enjoyable for him. We also use alternate entrances so that there are less people on top of him. In some instances with some rides, he stayed in his stroller as it was used as a wheelchair and he really enjoyed the experience. It has also been a huge help with the shows and our son really thrives with each trip we take. I am very thankful to have this.

If you have a sensory child and or a child with spacial issues the GAC is a huge help. I just don't think that if a child really doesn't have issues that people should use a GAC, I always suggest fastpass as that is what we get first and foremost.
