I don't believe POC has a wheelchair entrance. I think everyone goes through the normal line.

It is the regular line, also no FP at this time. Who knows when it reopens.

Had my mom in a wheelchair this past January and the entrance is right with the regular line. The only thing difference is that instead of going thru a turnstyle, you enter through the gate on the left, and just keep going in that line. very easy.

Although, you should be aware that the POC requires the person to get out of the wheelchair and step down into the boat (which can be difficult for some people). The wheelchair is folded and lifted into the boat by the CM at boarding. Guests with ECVs, power wheelchairs, or wheelchairs that can't be folded need to "trade" their own in for a manual wheelchair available at the entrance to the queue.

Most of the attractions at WDW are what is called Mainstream Access. This means the lines are wheelchair accessible and people using wheelchairs or ECVs wait in the same line with everyone else.
AK and MGM are newer parks and all their attractions have Mainstream Access. MK and Epcot are older and some attractions were not able to be Mainstream Access, but all new and most renovated attractions were made Mainstream.

If you follow the link in my signature to the disABILITIES Board, you will see a disABILITIES FAQs thread near the top of the board. That has lots of helpful information, including links to the official WDW website where you can print a copy of the Guidebook for Guests with Disabilities for each park.
