OK - here's the information from the Guidemaps we picked up in
March 2009. This can change, so I would suggest you pick up Guidemaps for Guests with Disabilities - they are available at Guest Relations at any park and also should be where ECVs and wheelchairs are rented. There is one for each park and they are nicer in some ways than the old Guidebooks. The biggest advantage is that they are maps. The biggest disadvantage is that the type face is small.
You don't need a GAC to use any of the standard "Mobility Access" entrances listed in the Guidemap (the Guidemap has some further information for other tpes of special needs, but in general, says to use the listed "mobility Access". If a CM says you do need a GAC for a standard entrance, show the map where it says the entrance to use and ask to speak to a manager if you need to.
The maps are actually much easier (at least I think so) than this list because there is an icon for each attraction that shows the type of access and also the way you get in is listed right there with the attraction. Keep in mind that this is what is listed in the Guidemap; the CM has the option to do something different (like allow use of the FP line).
Abbreviations:
SQ = Enter thru the Standard Queue
FP = Fastpass; Guidebook says to obtain a Fastpass if available and gives further instructions if not available (usually says to use the SQ or contact a Host; the Host may allow you to use the FP line and give you a handwritten FP to be used right away or with a return time written on. Which is given depends on things not visible to the guest and you may be told one thing on one ride and something else even when returning to the same attraction later the same day (since what is done often depends on conditions at the time).
ECV to WC = switch from ECV to available wheelchair at the attraction. Check with CM at entrance to see whether the line is ECV accessible. This is not listed on the Guidemap, so it is difficult to tell whether the line is accessible or just that there is a wheelchair accessible ride vehicle you could use with a wheelchair. If ECV to WC is not listed, the attraction is WC and ECV accessible.
WC = attraction is wheelchair accessible without transferring (those requiring transfer are noted)
For the few attractions where the instructions say to enter at the exit, you will usually not be boarding right away and you may be given sort of a handwritten FP to come back later if the boarding area is too full of people with special needs who are waiting.
I listed restaurants only when there are entrances that are not accessible.
MK
Main Street USA
City Hall: Use the ramp on LEFT (in case you need to figure out how to get there to get the map) WC
Main Street Vehicles: (trolley cars, buses, etc) See host for boarding options. Must be ambulatory, but some wheelchairs can be folded and loaded on certain vehicles for a one way trip.
WDW Railroad at Main Street: Use ramp on the RIGHT. (If the chain is closed to that ramp, it means the railroad is not operating or is closing down). ECV to WC (I have seen ECVs on this ramp and have also seen smaller ECVs on the train). WC
Town Square Exhibition Hall and Tony's Restaurant: Use ramp on the RIGHT, WC
Crystal Palace: Use ramp on LEFT, WC
Adventureland
Swiss Family Treehouse: Must be ambulatory
Magic Carpets: SQ, ECV to WC; WC
Enchanted Tiki Room: SQ (there is a wheelchair gate on the RIGHT at the entrance and once you are thru, the CM will tell you to go into the front row in the waiting area).
Jungle Cruise: SQ, FP; if no Fastpasses, says to see a Host for options or enter thru the exit (this is to the LEFT of the standby line. There is a wheelchair symbol on the area). WC
Pirates: SQ - the CM at the entrance will direct you, ECV to WC, must transfer. This is one I know they encourage people to use one of the attraction wheelchairs since it is difficult to transfer any mobility devices from the boarding area to the exit.
Frontierland
WDW Railroad: wheelchair ramp on RIGHT. ECV to WC, WC
Splash Mountain: SQ, FP, if not available, enter thru the SQ. The line is accessible until you are almost to a set of stairs. At that point, there is a gate with a wheelchair symbol on your RIGHT. Wait there for a CM to take you to a waiting area near the exit to wait to board. Must transfer
Big Thunder Mountain RR: FP, if not available, see a host for options or enter thru the exit. Must transfer - do have a car with wider opening to make transfer easier
Country Bears: Keep to the left when entering and stay to the LEFT to enter the show thru the door on the LEFT. Accessible seating is at the front. WC
Tom Sawyer Island: SQ, must be ambulatory
Liberty Square
Hall of Presidents: Door on the RIGHT (this has been renovated since we were there last and has been updated in terms of numbers of seats for wheelchairs/ECVs). WC
Liberty Square Riverboat: Enter the exit on RIGHT or LEFT, WC
Haunted Mansion:See a host for boarding options. You could be brought in the exit courtyard or told to go thru the standard line until you get to the hearse on your RIGHT. At that point, you would wait for a CM to direct you into the exit courtyard. There are many reasons that HM has variable access and most are not things that guests can see. Some of the variables might be how many guests with special needs are already waiting, whether those guests are going to be walking in or skipping the stretching room and boarding at the exit, how soon the next 'stretching room show' begins and how many guests with special needs are already on the attraction.
Must transfer; there is a car with a wider opening for easier transfers
Liberty Tree Tavern: Ramp on the LEFT, WC
Fantasyland
Small World: SQ, after about the second turn, you will notice a wheelchair symbol on a gate to the LEFT of the attraction (as you face the attraction). That gate leads to the exit ramp; stay to the right side of the ramp. ECV to WC (can stay in ECV until boarding), WC
