GAC abuse

[Doctor McKey]

I was driving a Concourse to EPCOT trip on the monorail one evening… I had a grandmother with her Grand-daughter on one side of me and a mom and daughter on the other. The mom, who had never been to Disney, asked me if their was any tip on how to get the most of their trip.. I started to explain fast passes to her when the Grand Mother ( not related ) told her of these wonderful things called GAC cards that Disney gives out to people with “disabilities”… she further went on to tell her that she goes to GR all the time to get them and just tells them that their grand daughter has “insert condition” and they write her a “golden ticket”….

I about hit the E-Stop when I heard her say that…. I should have made her walk the plank… her grand child was not disabled in any way…

Last time I overheard a guest giving that advice, I interrupted and explained, "The one problem with that plan is that if you're caught, and your child *doesn't* have a disability, you could get banned from Disney theme parks for the rest of your life!"

Suddenly one of the two parties decided to get out of the handicap waiting area and get in the regular line.

No guilt here. They cheat -- I lie. Just balancing the karma. :D:

A few years ago me and my sister were in line for Pirates. There was a group of teenagers on the other side with one teen in a wheel chair. All teens jumped over the railing and jumped into a boat. When we were getting off the boat, security was waiting and the girls were escourted out of the park with Anaheim police. Yup, they were fakers and they stole the chair from another attraction. :mad:

It's amazing how, in such a big park, word travels so fast. :D:

We went to DLR yesterday with my friend who needs a wheelchair. Despite it being the
most crowded I've seen it since Christmastime, the CMs who assisted us were
superb, especially the ones who carefully and cheerfully secured her chair on the little white bus there and the tram on the way back. We ended up going on one ride as we only stayed for a few hours, but I saw a lot of people (teenagers) who made me wonder about their disability. I heard one teenager on a phone saying, "He ran back to get us a wheelchair!" :mad:

thanks for all the nice compliments - - i love that picture too. it was a super special moment that i'll never forget.

I am going to start using that line about "banned for life" whenever I can - it's a good one.

Don't let the nut jobs bring you down! :)

I admit that when I take my son to Disneyland in July, I may get one. He is autistic, but I always gauge if we will need it on certain things or not.

He can wait a little while without getting frustrated, so I don't use it unless absolutely necessary.
