Can Type 1 diabetics skip lines at Disney?

In case of consistent lows at the park, consider the DAS Card. The “DAS Card” stands for Disabilities Access Service, and is available at Disneyland. This card allows for people who are not able to wait in long lines to come back at a designated time and skip to the front of the line.

Accommodating Guests with Disabilities As part of this commitment, the Disability Access Service (DAS) is a program offered at the Disneyland Resort theme parks to assist Guests who have difficulty tolerating extended waits in a conventional queue environment due to a disability.

  • You can't really skip lines.
  • You can buy the Genie Pass to buy access to the lightning lane (or whatever they call it these days), but even with that you will still be waiting in line.
  • You can pay for a private tour which may include fast access to select rides.

While there is no specific list of what disabilities qualify for DAS at Disney World, some common conditions that may be approved for a DAS Pass include ADHD, autism, or anxiety.

MORE DETAILS

In terms of what to say to get a DAS pass, start by explaining why waiting in extended queues would be difficult for you. For example: “I experience ___________ which makes tolerating long lines difficult.” “When I'm in line for a long period of time, ___________ happens.”

The Disney cast members will work with that guest on an individual basis to make whatever accommodations are necessary. There is no requirement for guests to prove medical disability with a doctor's note or documentation; Disney takes guests at their word.

“The cast member was so rude and condescending and denied me the DAS,” the Guest recalled. “So, I went in February, ended up passing out in line to Soarin' and was just generally miserable while standing and waiting in lines because I was afraid I'd pass out again.”

Just go to guest services and explain why you need one. They'll ask you questions about your disability but other than that nothing else is required. No documentation required. You just have to explain why waiting outside the traditional lines setting would benefit you.

Specifically, federal laws, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act, protect qualified individuals with a disability. Since 2009, amendments and regulations for these laws make clear that diabetes is a disability since it substantially limits the function of the endocrine system.

Sign up for 'DAS pass' Guests with any condition (including ADHD) that prevents them from waiting in extended lines can obtain one. While a DAS pass won't give you immediate access to a ride, you'll get a return time comparable to the ride's current wait time.
