    I am taking my family down to Disney including my dad. My dad shattered his heel into 30 pieces 5 yrs ago. He has pins and rods holding it together. Thankfully he can do short walks. What do we need to bring to show proof to get a GAC Can we even get one?

    Hi there Courtney! I am so sorry to hear about your father's injury but, glad he is planning on joining you for a trip to Walt Disney World!!

    You mentioned that your dad can only walk short distances and so, I would recommend checking out this link to the Disney website regarding rentals for wheelchairs and electric convenience vehicles (ECV's). As much as he may wish to not utilize one of these devices, remind your father that a Disney vacation is known for lots of walking and that this option might better enable him to see and do more with less discomfort.

    Regarding a Guest Assistance Card, simply check out this link to my recent answer for a guest with similar concerns on the Walt Disney World Disney Moms Panel website. I also listed a couple of unofficial resources that you may wish to review too.

    Thanks for taking the time to visit us at the Walt Disney World Moms Panel and feel free to send more questions our way in the days leading up to your trip! May your Disney vacation be practically perfect in every way!
