    Hello, I am taking my 8 year old little boy with high functioning Autism to WDW 06-06 thru 06-10 for the first time. Can I show the letter stating his diagnosis dated 2005? or should I bring a current letter in order to get the GAC? Thanks

    Hi there Jennifer,

    Many families with children on the spectrum report that Disney is a very user-friendly destination for their special kids.  I'm one of them!  You don't actually need a doctor's note to receive a Guest Assistance Card for your son.  Simply go to Guest Relations at whichever park you visit first, and explain to the cast member who assists you that your son's disability prevents him from waiting in long lines.  If you wanted to bring along a note, you certainly could, but it isn't necessary.

    I hope your son and entire family has a magical trip!
