Do diabetics get to skip lines at Disney?

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. Hypoglycemia as a result of T1D would be the reason given when requesting one of these cards.



In 2026, having diabetes does not automatically qualify a guest for Disney’s Disability Access Service (DAS). Disney updated its DAS policy to focus specifically on guests who, due to a "developmental disability like autism or similar," are unable to wait in a conventional queue for an extended period. For medical conditions like diabetes, Disney’s position is that the wait can be managed through other accommodations, such as carrying snacks/glucose, using the "Rider Switch" program, or taking advantage of the Genie+ or Lightning Lane systems. If a diabetic guest has a specific, documented reason why they cannot wait in a standard line (such as severe heat sensitivity or unpredictable episodes), they must undergo a virtual video interview with a health professional via the Disney website before their visit. If granted, DAS does not let you "skip" the line; rather, it gives you a return time equal to the current wait, allowing you to wait in a more comfortable area.

Any adult or child with a disability that could endanger them, prevent them from fully enjoying the parks or waiting in a traditional line qualifies for DAS.
