Consider a disability assistance card. 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.

The Disability Access Service (DAS) is designed for guests who have a difficult time waiting in long lines for various reasons.
