[blparent] Disney World

[Michael Baldwin]

Not sure what benefits a GAC will offer a blind person. From what I can
figure out, they are basically a card with instructions for a cast member
for a  person who does not have a noticeable disability. Anyone blind get
one of these and get any benefit from it?

Go to guest services on Day 1 and request a Guest Services Card. I would
also suggest using a folding cane for the trip.
