Navi is a Mainstream line and guests using wheelchairs and ECVs follow the same path as everyone else.Navi River doesn’t have a separate line, but there are “shortcuts” through the ends of the (back and forth, standard chain/snake type queue) that make it much easier to get through. I’ve never seen them used, but now I wonder if all those style switchback areas have those. I assume the design is to allow shortening the queue during slow times but it certainly works for scooter/wheelchair access too. Good luck navigating; hope it goes smoothly for you.
Even armed with this information, it's probably best to approach the greeter at each attraction, for specific instructions.ce/queue for mobility devices: BTMRR, POTC, JC and Space Mtn
We are very fortunate to not have any first-hand experiences in this area, for sure. We just saw them help an older lady (who was obviously not familiar with using an ECV) “cut through” the turns of the switchbacks. I wasn’t aware that wasn’t a standard process.Navi is a Mainstream line and guests using wheelchairs and ECVs follow the same path as everyone else.
Almost all lines have ways to shorten the queue. In our experience with a guest using a wheelchair for many years is that they are only used to shorten (or lengthen) the queues depending on crowd levels.
The only one where we have been brought in a shorter way is Mexico.
Yes, thank you. I intended to say it's always good to approach the "main" entrance and ask there. Any given day something could be working differently than usual or expected.Even armed with this information, it's probably best to approach the greeter at each attraction, for specific instructions.
This is correct and they like you to use there wheelchair because the load unload area is in a total different buildingIt has been a while and something ( hopefully) may have changed, but the last time I was there, scooters were not allowed at all in the Pirates line. You have to transfer to a wheelchair to enter.

Yes. Ask the greeter where to park the ECV.Is there a way for her to use the ECV to get between rides and then get out of the ECV to wait in line?
No. DAS is not for stamina/mobility issues. She will either take the ECV (or a transfer wheelchair pushed by you) all the way to boarding, or she will leave the ECV outside and stand/walk in line the whole way.Would she need a DAS to not have to stand for the whole time?
Yes.Do people wait in line (whether standard or accessible lines) with their ECV and then leave their ECV before entering the ride vehicle?
Your child with autism is entirely separate from your mother with knee issues. If your child cannot wait in long lines and might benefit from a DAS, you and your party to go Guest Services to request one. It does not shorten the wait. You wait elsewhere. There is still frequently a wait even once you return to the attraction.Would it help if we tried to get a DAS for my 9yo who is on the autism spectrum and has trouble waiting in long lines as well instead?
As mentioned upthread - there are very few attractions with a completely separate entrance for accessibility. I strongly suggest she take the ECV through the queue when possible, and consider using an attraction wheelchair when the ECV is not allowed. The queues can be delayed and she could need to stand longer than anticipated. She is always welcome to transfer to the ride vehicle, and the mobility device will be waiting at the end of the ride.Are there ever any instances where the standard line wait is shorter in time than the accessible line?
I have disability back injury from car accident and can not stand or walk well so use ECVs at Disney. Honestly would not be able to do Disney without them.
Been there don that. Would strongly advise get DAS for you son.
With autism spectrum , I have gran kids on spectrum that can not be in lines. They issue DAS for only 1 member in the party so would suggest your son, Because the person with the DAS must be include in rides and you mom may not want to ride all the things he wants to ride. You must have the person applying for DAS as they take a photo so cast members can pull it up to be sure the right person is using it. You also need to have everyones tickets or magic bands with you at the link them all together in a party. They do not link some later. Also DAS is usually good for 2 weeks an donly have to get it at the first park you go to.
DAS is supposed to give a return time of 10 minutes less than the regular time . So if line 2 hoursat 12 PM you would get a return time of 1:50PM.
You go up to ride with one of your like d tickets and ask for return time for your party. You still get to choose your 3 fast passes.
You can get DAS at any park customer service Magic Kingdom does it at Town Hall.
Epcot has it just inside on left after bathrooms.
Hollywood Studios is kind of hidden just inside on lefts small place.
Animal Kingdom is also just inside on the left small area.
First ECVs are $70 at parks and your get $20 back when you leave and return the ECV. You can take that receipt and pay the $20 hold fee again at another park that same day to rent one there.
It is $150 at Disney Downtown but $100 is the hold fee gets returned when ECV is turned in. So if you go to park then go to down town will have to pay returnable fee of $100.
Plan ahead Magic kingdom runs out of ECVS by 11:30AM as they do not have area to store many as like Epcot.
ECV rentals include refundable deposit so make sure to have the funds. I usually pay the rental $50 cash or gift card the the refundable credit card, but of course you can pay any way you want.
Magic Kingdom queues
Rides ask can you transfer meaning get off ECV sit on ride. Like little mermaid, philharmagic, meet and greets, tales with belle, dumbo, splash mountain, laugh floor, carosule of progress, tiki room, country bears, steam boat ride, hall of presidents, you drive through.
Haunted mansion you drive in line all way through out to back and then come back in to get on before others . Haunted mansion and little mermaid are conveyer belt type and they will slow down or stop if you ask to make it easier to get in buggys.
Pirate Ride, Buzz light year, Peter pan, winnie pooh, Space Mountain , People mover, Barnstormer, you are required to park ECV and be pushed in wheelchair.
Small World is the only one with separate entrance for ECV.
not sure about race cars speedway as have not been back to it since redone.
Flying Carpets and TEA cups have short lines around each you have to stand in not ECV allowed
