Scooter people are welcome to answer, too.
I'm specifically interested in where you are waiting with wheelchair or scooter for the bus to exit the park and go back to your resort.
From what I'm gathering here on the boards is that some people mainstream in the regular line and hope they can get the bus driver's attention to see them in time; so, they can have access to get on the bus before everyone else loads up, too. This is assuming there's room for you on the bus.
Then, there's another school of thought which is to create an imaginary handicap zone somewhere near what I will call the curb area toward where you think the back of the bus will be. You are not in the mainstream line when you are doing it this way. Supposedly, this can be taken as line jumping or something similar; because, you are not in the regular mainstream line. Many do this; so, the bus driver can see them more easily.
I think I prefer option two, but I can see how this can be taken wrongly by those in the regular line. I think there's a stigma here that a wheelchair or scooter person is getting preferred treatment somehow; because, you are not in the regular line.
Anyway, how have you been doing this recently yourself? What obstacles have you encountered, if any doing it either way?
