Wheelchair in attraction question

[AnnieDan_Artlover]

Hi all!
I have a question... Searched around and didn't find the answer... I guess it's because my situation is a little unusual...

I'll be going to WDW next spring with my mom, and I'll be in a manual wheelchair... my own. It's a push-chair (4 little 8" wheels), because I'm not strong enough to push myself. I can walk or stand for a short while, not much more (especially not when it's hot).

My mom will push me, bless her (I've asked her, but she prefers the manual push-chair than me taking an ECV, for those wondering).

Now : I'm the one who'll do the "wilder" attractions, while she won't (motion sickness). (that's the unusual part... the w/c-bound doing the attraction while the "pusher"... hahaha the pusher... hrum hrum... while the "pusher" doesn't.)

Of course, if there's not too much of a wait, I could just go in the attraction walking with my cane and catch with my mom at the exit.
But would it be possible for her to push me right up to the moment where I transfer in the ride, then go to the exit (or even better, where the ride stops and I'd exit, not the very exit) with the wheelchair and wait for me?

... That would help me keep my stamina and thus, help me stay in the park longer each day! (it would also make it more fun for my mom, as she could see it all and take in the waiting experiences of all attractions, even those where the lines are inside).

I've read many places that visitors in wheelchairs (pushing themselves, or riding with the person pushing them) do the ride and have a CM take their wheelchair to the exit... Now since I can't push myself and the walk or wait until the ride could be too long, would they accept to have my mom do the CM's job? (and to have her "do the line" without riding?). Has any of you seen somthing like that happen?

And if it is possible... for those attraction where it exists, could I use the "single" waiting line? We'd be two people, but I'd still be only one "rider"!?

Thanks!

Can't speak to the idea of using the "single" rider line, for that we'll need to defer to a CM who happens to know more than I do. However, regarding could you get to the ride itself in your chair, and have your mom not ride, but stay with your wheelchair? Almost guaranteed in stone. It's called using the "chicken out" exit... which people can do who are NOT in wheelchairs/ecv's, but just change their mind at the last minute. Normally, the CM would just send you down the chicken out exit alone, but, for something like this, they may direct your mom to a specific "pick-up" point, to make things easier. But, I strongly doubt that she & you will have any problems.

Enjoy the Magic!
