So it is against the law for Disney to ask for proof before they give out a GAC? Without a GAC, EVC/Wheelchairs shouldn't have FOTL access for rides? yes, I am old fashioned by using the term handicapped. That is what the sign says for parking doesn't it?
I am sorry if I am offending anyone. I didn't mean to, but there are people that abuse the system and they ruin it for those that really need it. That is the point I am trying to make. I don't think that is right. It is very unfair that those who do not need it, can stand behind a law that isn't even meant for them... and it hurts those, like you guys here, that really need it.
If you park in a "Handicapped" parking zone, you need that proof. That is a law, without that permit, you get a very hefty ticket. That is asking for proof isn't it?????? You must prove you are handicapped by that permit to park there.
To get that permit, you must go to the doctor and have him fill out the paper work for you, that cost money. Then you go to the Drivers License Dept (here in FL anyway) and get your permit. If it is a temp, you pay $15 each time you need it. If you need it more than once in a 12 month period since they only give it to you for a 6 month period, you must go to the doctor again, and cost you money again, to get the paper work again. The DL office will wave the second fee. ... so yes, it does cost money to prove it and you do have to prove it for somethings...
so my question is, do all that use the EVC/wheelchairs have "handicapped parking permits".. that is what really makes a true documented handicapped, and yes, that costs money.
