Thanks all, I'll try to find time to report back on some of this when we return. I know that some rides require transfers, some have alternate loading locations, etc. Just not sure which is which. It will be interesting to learn! I saw your reply earlier that you hadn’t found specifics on the WDW website. I think maybe you were looking at the general disability info. But this page has a link to all the rides in the various categories. It’s the U.K. page but it should redirect you. www.disneyworld.co.uk/guest-services/mobility-disabilities/This is the main page for disability info. If you scroll down you’ll find the mobility section. Again the U.K. site. www.disneyworld.co.uk/search/?searchCategory=all&searchQuery=guests%20with%20disabilitiesLet me know if you can’t see the pages, and I’ll use a vpn to find them for you. Yes - these are the pages I've looked at, but they don't address the queue question (at least that I have found). These all talk about what a person must be able to do to access the ride, what they do not discuss is whether the wheelchair can go through the main queue or if the person will be given a return time or an immediate redirection to an exit. That particular question does not seem to be answered anywhere, but others have provided good insights in this thread. |

Maybe a new activity for this trip is to see how many Disney characters DS can get to sign his cast. Depending on the type of cast material, you might need to bring different pens or markers if DS has any interest in that. I wish. Unfortunately, Disney characters aren't allowed to sign casts and/or anything else that is on a person's body. It would be a fun opportunity, but I get the reasoning for why it would not be allowed. |

There are PDF versions of the park maps on this page: disneyworld.disney.go.com/guest-services/guests-with-disabilities/Each ride description will have a icon indicating mobility access. If it shows the ambulatory icon (person standing), I assume the queue is not wheelchair accessible. Looking the the PDFs, it appears that only the MK has ones marked as must be ambulatory and says to see CM for options. |

That particular question does not seem to be answered anywhere, but others have provided good insights in this thread. I think I covered all the queues that give DAS-like return times. It is not mentioned on the maps, but as soon as you arrive at the end of the queue with a wheelchair the greeting CM will tell you what you need to do if you can't enter the queue. You must be ambulatory for Peter Pan and the People Mover but I *think* you might be able to do most of the queue with a wheelchair for Pan. I have been pulled aside for Haunted Mansion and was asked to enter through the exit, but usually I just go through with my scooter through (I think) the stretch room before they take it away and I walk to through the mini-queue to the Doom Buggy. |

It would be a fun opportunity, but I get the reasoning for why it would not be allowed. Sorry, I didn't realize that. Is there maybe some sort of transfer stencil or something similar that could be signed and then transferred to the cast? Sorry, not much experience with casts. When I broke my ankle, the cast was internal and consisted of plates and screws.  |

I thought about just getting him some labels that they could sign that we could then stick to his cast for the short term. It wouldn't last forever, but it might be fun while on the trip. |

Labels and then some clear tape or some sort of spray lacquer to help the signatures on the labels last longer??
