I always get the guest card, near the entrance to the park. I was surprised to read Lisa, that you didn't need a doctors note, bc I have always needed a doctors note.
<br />We've been going every year 6 years in a row and every time I've gotten the card. I was reluctant to get it when my doc asked me to, but I've been glad every year since. Going as a mom with Cf, this keeps me out of the heat and lets my lo go on as many rides in as short a time as possible so we can be sure to go back to the hotel (or restaurant) and get plenty of sitting rest time all day.
<br />Disney is wonderful with this, and very accommodating. However, there was one year (ironically, the year we went and I was in the middle of IVs and quite sick) and I went to guest services to get the card, and I got the 'you don't look sick to me, lady' line from a young cast member who didn't want to give me the card. The only reason I mention it is that though rarely, problems do come up...so getting the letter might not hurt. Just in case. My center will email it to me if I'm going away.
<br />She also falsely told me that I could only get it for 2 people, me and a helper for me, which isn't true. As someone said, its for up to 6 people. If you have a party larger than that, you can get a ticket at each ride for a parent swap-where you and some of the kids go on the ride while one parent waits, and then the next parent gets to go on the ride with the rest of the party and goes right through the line.
<br />If you have 2 little ones with Cf, I would get 2 separate letters, and have each parent go separately to request a card. That way you can all go together on all your rides, and you have 2 cards, thats are good for several people each. No one should give you a problem.
<br />And keep in mind that the card doesn't guarantee no lines or no waiting. It puts you in the fast pass line. So you'll probably wait a little bit, but nothing compared to the regular line.
<br />Disney is great to work with, special needs or not. We love it!
