Have you taken an Autistic adult to Disney World? Will the Handicapped pass help?

I have taken my son, when he was younger, to Disney World and requested the handicapped access pass due to his autism. They provided it, and it had the net effect of giving us 'Fast Pass' access to all attractions. Considering his disability, this is the only way that we could do this without a meltdown. I always worry that the policy/practice might change - so am curious about recent experiences particularly with this population.Have you taken an Autistic adult to Disney World?

In order to get a Guest Assistant Pass you may be asked to provide a Doctor's note. It's unfair to people that truly need one, however, like most things people take advantage of it and ruin it for those that need it. So, prior to your departure for Disney, contact your doctor and ask for a note.



When you arrive at Disney head to the Disney Guest Relations desk and ask for the GAP pass.



Also, be forewarned that this is not an automatic skip to the front of the line pass. They will try and get you on quickly, but things have changed.

Hello,



My brother is autistic and every time we go to the parks we use the GAP (Guest Assitance Pass) as well. The policies are basically remained the same, except they have become a little stricter. They didn't give us any problems getting our pass. We just walked into Guest Relations office the first day and said we had someone with austism with us and they handed it over. However, others have had issues in where they wanted to see a doctors note. Just in case, I would bring one but we didn't need ours. Not all the rides and shows have a fast pass entrance but if they don't you can just use the wheelchair entrances.



Good luck and have fun!Have you taken an Autistic adult to Disney World? Will the Handicapped pass help?
I agree with the others. Just bring a doctor's note just in case and you shouldn't have any problems. Good luck, have fun, and say hi to Mickey for me!
hey there. I had my autistic nephew with us last year and taking him again next year. we will be using the handicapped pass, as it was the best way to enjoy the parks with your son. I have to say any of the time we had to hang around with my nephew was tough, it also makes it easier for other people around us as well. we love him dearly and really enjoyed our holiday with him, but i dont think it would have been the same without the pass, as he would not have been able to stand in the lines for long enough to get on the rides. he will enjoy it more as well. if you want any more advice please feel free to send me a message.



but with what the others say definitely bring a doctors note just incase
