    My father is handicapped and we will be coming to disney in 10 days. What exactly do we need from the doctor to show that he is handicapped and do we have to bring that to each park to recieve the guest assistance card?

    Hi Kathleen,

    All your father will need to do is explain to the cast member at guest services what his disability is so they can tailor the Guest Assistance Card (GAC) to his needs. I have included the link to available services for you to review prior to your vacation. You can easily explain his needs to the cast member as well.

    Once your father receives the GAC, it will be issued for your entire length of stay and will be honored at any of the Walt Disney World parks.

    When you are entering an attraction, you simply show the GAC to the cast member who is at the entrance to the attraction. The cast member will then assist you to the special entrance or seating for the attraction.

    I wish you a magical vacation!
