The GAC designation that everyone is upset about is not for people with wheelchairs generally, it is for those where the disability is not obvious. And not all people in wheelchairs have exactly the same needs or limitations, some can transfer from the chair to a car, and others are wheelchair bound.
Yes, and Disney has done great work making old vehicles newly wheelchair accessible. At the 1955 Jungle Cruise, they have a boat with a wheelchair lift. At the 1966 and '71 Small World rides, they also have boats with wheelchair lifts, etc., etc. Disney didn't have to do this because the rides are from the 1960's and way past grandfathered status under the ADA laws. They just did it because Disney is awesome that way.
And at new rides, they have special cars where a wheelchair can slide right on and then go through the ride per normal. Like the new Little Mermaid rides found on both coasts;

But I can't think of a reason why the person in the wheelchair who will use these vehicles can't wait through the 60 minute wheelchair accesible Standby line, or pull a Fastpass and plan their day around the Fastpass time like everyone else.
As for GAC holders without wheelchairs, they would basically get an extra Fastpass every couple hours during their visit. If they have some disability where they can't wait in lines or be in crowds, yet they willingly visited a crowded amusement park, they get one extra Fastpass every couple hours. In addition to being able to use the regular Fastpass system and being able to plan their day around the shows and rides they want to see.
