    What is Disneyland’s official rules on line skipping? I was sure I’d seen a sign that read, “you may join your party in line, but your party may not join you?”

    Hi, Chris!

    Welcome to planDisney! I'm glad you are visiting Disneyland Resort in early November. It is an ideal time of year, as often fewer Guests are in the parks with Halloween Time ending on October 31, 2026, and the Holidays not beginning until November 13. 

    According to the Disneyland Resort Rules, Guests are asked to show common courtesy to other Guests and the Cast Members by avoiding jumping lines or saving places in lines for others. However, specific situations may arise while a Guest is waiting in line, and they may need to exit while the rest of their group waits in the queue. Those Guests may often re-enter the line before boarding the attraction or wait outside the queue and meet their party as they are boarding the ride. With that in mind, the final decisions on line rules are typically made by the Cast Members working at each attraction.

    In my experience, Disneyland strives to support Guests with a variety of needs and disabilities, which is one of the reasons that I have returned to the theme parks my entire life! For example, the Disability Access Service supports Guests with some developmental disabilities, which helps their families have the best time possible while visiting Disneyland.  

    Chris, I hope you have a wonderful trip to "The Happiest Place on Earth!" Also, don't forget to make any dining reservations up to 60 days in advance on the Disneyland app or website. I like having one Table Service Restaurant reservation each day of my family's vacations. 

    Magic Happens!
