    Default Rides with stairs and wheelchairs

    Hello,
    I am curious as to how Disney World handles wheel chair in line for rides with stairs, ie: Splash mountain, BTMR, etc... We will be traveling this time around with 2 in wheel chairs and possibly one using a mobility cart. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    I was recently there using a scooter because of a broken ankle. Splash Mountain was closed but Thunder Mountain obviously has stairs and Space Mountain is inaccessible to wheelchairs in the regular line. So what you do is go to the fast pass line and they will issue you a return time on a card for whatever the actual wait time is. So if the wait is 45 minutes, you will return 45 minutes later to the exit of Splash Mountain or the fast pass entrance of Space Mountain and enter there. You can go right up to where you board with your wheelchair and get on. I will warn you that getting up and down those hills in Space Mountain is kind of rough. They need a plan B for that one. I found all the cast members very helpful. Enjoy your trip!
    It's not easy being green....

    Thank you fortwildernesskid. The 2 in wheel chairs are children, so they are fairly light to push :-). I appreciate the heads up!

    Cool

    DW travels WDW via a wheelchair that I push. She hasn't done Splash in a few years but when she did a cast member takes you out of line before the stairs and straight out to board the logs by passing all the stairs.
    At Haunted Mansion they can take you back and actually STOP the Doom Buggies allowing me to get her in without going down the escalator. At Spaceship Earth, there is a back door entrance that does the same thing. They take a group of guest in at time, STOP the ride to board and off you go. Just ask a Cast Member what's available?
    Enjoy The Ride!
