Please clarify new system for me. I have a specific question and have read everything I can find.

We were there and rode it several times less than 3 weeks ago with DD in her wheelchair. We were also at WDW in late December/first week of January 2015 and rode several times.

We had Fastpasses, but also saw people who were using wheelchairs and did not have Fastpass.
With Fastpasses, we were sent directly into the accessible area. Guests with wheelchairs and ECVs who did not have Fastpass were sent in the regular (Standby) line.

The Fastpass line is on the side of the attraction nearest the Rapunzel area (years ago, that was the exit). It is not accessible because it puts guests on the wrong side of the water compared to the wheelchair boarding area. The route of the Fastpass line doesn't come near the entrance to the accessible area.

The Standby queue runs across the whole front of the attraction. It makes several turns (how many depends on how busy it is and how they set up the chains). The last turn before joining the Fastpass queue is next to the entrance to the accessible boarding area.
We saw people with wheelchairs/ECVs waiting in the Standby queue until it reached that turn. At that point, they were pulled out of line and sent to the accessible boarding area.
I would call it a partially Mainstreamed line.

Prior to that, CMs were giving out wheelchair return cards for guests who needs to use the accessible area and didn't have Fastpass or DAS.
Thank you for this detailed information.
Seems like disney changed this after printing it's guide.
I guess I will book my DD a FP+ for IASW, since she loves it so much.
Wouldn't have done this without your helpful infos - so thank you again!
 
My son qualifies for a MAW trip- we choose to allow those resources to be applied to someone who wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity to take that kid of trip.

If this trip you are asking questions about is a Make a Wish trip, I am pretty sure you will be getting credentials so you won't have to wait in line for attractions etc.

Sue, isn't that the case with Make A Wish?
 

If you wouldn't mind me asking what brand of wipes those are from Amazon I'm seeing a few brands and would definitely like to purchase these. Thank you

I really hope you have a truly wonderful trip.

Correct, kids on an official wish trip with a partnering organization (such as MAW) do not use the DAS as another pass is provided to them. However, I believe OP was indicating that while her son qualifies for such a trip, they have not requested one. This is a regular vacation trip for their family.

Many hospitals use PDI Sani-cloth wipes.
There are various types. My hospital uses Sani-Cloth AF

Yes, I thought I read the same.
 
And we are NOT taking a Wish trip. Chase has had several friends who have gone on Wish Trips, I know how the Genie Pass (I think that is what it is called) works.
