Hi,
We had a GAC for DD11 last year and were hoping to be able to use one again this year. We are planning our first Disney day as Animal Kingdom - can you get a GAC here or would it be better to wait until we go to MK the next day?
Also - I got really tongue tied with the CM last year and found the whole experience of getting a GAC quite upsetting. I went to the guest relations window outside the main entrance as opposed to the main guest relations inside the park. The problem was that DD11 doesn't have a diagnosis as such. She has atrophy of the white matter in her brain and enlarged ventricals which means that she has global developmental delay and is visually impaired. She has quite a few autistic tendacies but is not actually diagnosed as autistic. She can't cope with crowded areas and gets confused and upset easily. The CM I spoke to was very abrupt with me he kept saying over and over "what does she need" and I am really dreading asking for it this year but without a GAC I just don't think we would be able to go. We have to go in the school holidays when it is very busy. Should I even try and explain what her condition is or just how she is affected?
Can anyone offer me any advice? Is it better to bring DD11 into the guest relations with me so they can see her?
Thanks
Karen
