WDW and Wheelchair Return Card

[KPeveler]

I know this is an ever-changing system, but I am hoping to collect current information on which rides are issuing Wheelchair Return Cards to guests with mobility equipment/disabilities. This is a separate system from the DAS, but is a new system as well.

I am looking for experiences so I can compile a list of rides that do use, or may use, Wheelchair Return Cards for inaccessible queues. I have a complete list for Disneyland, but I would like to work on a list for WDW so we can keep the FAQs up to date.

Here is what I have heard so far:
Magic Kingdom
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

Epcot
Spaceship Earth

So you can see why I need more info! I know what the online lists say about "entering through the exit" but that does not automatically mean they are using the WCRCs. So I would love to hear from people who have been to the parks since October so we can put together a complete list. Thanks all! ixiedust:

This was what I came up with in the WDW DAS thread:

I posted this in another place...

Most attractions at WDW have Mainstream Lines, so are accessible and don't have a line up of guests with wheelchairs, ECV.

This is the list of attractions that WDW gives different instructions than just "enter the standard queue". We were at WDW for over 2 weeks in October/November 2013. It was not busy, and we saw no return time cards for any attractions. I expect that they will possibly only give return times when it is busy.

I put the ones in blue that I expect could likely give return times. Most of the others are shows that can hold multiple wheelchairs and the specific entry location is to put guests with mobility devices in the area they will need to be to get to the correct door into the show.

Note: we don't know if the recent line renovation changed/will change this, but they had a small area for waiting.

Prince Charming Regal Carrousel:Enter through exit on RIGHTNote: there is a small area for waiting, but because if difficult transfer, I have never seen more then one waiting.

Tea Party:Enter through exit on RIGHTNote: there is a small area for waiting, but because if difficult transfer, I have never seen more then one waiting.

Space Mountain:Obtain a FASTPASS or see a host for options. If FASTPASS not available, enter through queue on RIGHTNote: small area for waiting

Epcot

Spaceship Earth:Enter through the exit on the RIGHT or LEFT.
Note: this attraction already had a system set up for guests traveling with mobility devices where the guests checked in with a CM at the handicapped access point. They were placed into a waiting area in order of arrival.
At some points in the past, when waits were long, the CM was writing names on a clipboard and verbally gave the guest a return time.
This could be adapted to giving return times and because of the way the waiting area is set in, they could give priority to DAS holders.

Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the 3 Caballeros: Follow directional signs to designated load area.
Note: the waiting area is very small, but this attraction usually has short waits. They could give return times and have guests wait outside of the line.
No matter when we have gone, we have not seen large numbers of guests with mobility devices, so doubt they would give return times.

American Adventure:See a host or hostess for access to second floor

Impressions de France:Enter through LEFT side of entrance hallway

Studio

Great Movie Ride:Enter through the Standard queue. A host will provide directions in the pre-show area

We were at WDW in late October thru November 9 and did not see any attractions giving out wheelchair return time cards.
Here is what someone else posted:

We were there over Thanksgiving week and got return time cards for:

Magic Kingdom
It's a Small World (weren't doing it at the beginning of the week for IASW but by end were so it's definitely crowd related)
Big Thunder Mountain
Jungle Cruise

Hollywood Studios
Star Tours
