New GAC/"disabled policy: Please Read :)

[Main Street Jim]

RE: The new "disabled guest"policy:

To my CM friends:
Today is a big day. Please remember to breathe. Try to remember that not EVERYONE is abusing the system. Having a child with a special need (of any kind) is not an easy thing. And the smallest thing can set the child off. If you see a family with a child having a meltdown, please don't judge or stare. Those only make things harder. Personal experience has taught me a lot LOL. Having a child meltdown because you are walking past Buzz and not riding, <snip>. I really hope today goes better than anyone is expecting. I will be thinking of you guys all day. Please send me messages of how it goes!!

To guests:
Please, please be nice. No one likes change. But this is what happens when people get greedy. GACs were something Disney went ABOVE and did for families like mine (I have a 12 year old brother with Down's Syndrome, and an 10-year-old brother with ADHD). Does it <snip> that it has changed? Absolutely. Will it change how we go to Disney? Absolutely! But that's life. Be thankful for what they have done in the past. And try to deal with what they are doing now. Remember, the CMs you encounter today (or from now on) had absolutely NOTHING to do with the change; this change came from upper management, not the front-line Cast that you encounter at the parks or resorts. They are just doing their job to enforce it. Please don't take any of it out on them, especially those in Guest Relations. Get the contact info and email or write a letter about the experience.
Love my Disney family, and good luck!!
