Do people in wheelchairs skip the line at Disney?

Depending on the experience, Guests utilizing a wheelchair or scooter will either wait in the standard queue or receive a return time at the attraction that is comparable to the current standby wait. If you're a Guest who has mobility questions or concerns, please view Services for Guests with Mobility Disabilities.



People Also Ask

Generally no. Disability people can get a special accommodation - waiting somewhere not in the line. You get this at guest services, then when you want to ride something, you go to the fastpass person, and ask for a disability return time.

A scooter will be accommodated so you can ride and enjoy what you would like, but it's definitely not going to skip you to the front of lines. I know a lot of people have heard otherwise and are surprised when they arrive in the park and that isn't the case, so be prepared. :) The parks are all different.

  • 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.

Instead of waiting in line, the guest and their party use the DAS pass to schedule a return time to ride attractions. The guest may use the Lightning Lane entrance (the old FASTPASS Return entrance), the ride's exit or an alternate line, depending on the ride.

Because you are in a smaller area than San Francisco for one thing. Each park is a smaller area. Plus, there are many people who think Disney World is so much walking! I can't do it! and so they rent a scooter.

Disney also offers what's called Disability Access Service to guests (you're not a “visitor” — you're a “guest”!) who are unable to wait in a long line due to a disability. The card allows you to go to an attraction and get a set time to come back and experience the ride.

Some Disney Guests are speaking out on the abuse of the theme park's disability system, claiming other Guests are faking injuries and illnesses to skip the line. When Guests visit Walt Disney World and Disneyland, many expect to wait in long lines.
