    We arrive in 37 days! Our DD (7) was just diagnosed w/ADHD, ODD & Bi-Polar disorder. I am terrified to bring her to the park w/her behavior. We are working w/doctors to get meds figured out. One Dr. mentioned a special pass to get. Any info?

    Hi Kelley, Your doctor is probably referring to the Guest Assistance Card (GAC). You can take your doctors note (describing your daughters medical condition) to any Guest Relations location in any of the Theme Parks. The cast members there will look at her specific conditions and issue you one of these GAC's for your family to use and it will be personalized for her to make her experience as magical as possible when going on attractions and having separate entrances away from the general crowds of guests (this will not necessarily get you onto an attraction any quicker, but it will make it less stressful based on her medical condition). The cast member will explain all the benefits of this GAC when you are issued it and they may be able to also offer some good advice on timing of parades for her and other good tips to make this experience as magical as possible with the least amount of stress to both you and her. I wish you and your whole family a very magical vacation. Best wishes, Brigitta
