Disney says disabled guests now have to wait in line due to schemes for the rich

58. you are both saying the same thing.

say you have a gac card (a red card) that is front of the line.

You took the gac card to the person at the fast pass line. They let you through the fast pass line.

You didn't have to go to the fast pass dispenser and get a fast pass that told you what time to come back later. You just went up the fast pass line with the gac card.

So it was like an immediate fast pass. It also wasn't limited like fast passes where you can have them at the same time.

But on attractions that have fast pass, typically the fast pass line was the gac line.

This is not always the case.

Splash MT. for example, has a separate wheel chair line for people who have to transfer out of a wheel chair. With a GAC you could go through the fast pass line OR the wheel chair line, depending on your need. Same thing with toy story mania. Peter pan on the other hand, you just went through the fast pass line. Some attractions don't have fast pass lines, like small world. There you just went to the exit and there was a wheel chair sign for guest access that way. Haunted Mansion has a separate entrance for wheel chair, so does pirates.

So the guest access card was essentially a front of the line pass - either through the fast pass line (immediately) for attractions that had one or through a separate line.
