Magic Kingdom---
Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin: (note-this ride doesn't fit longer wheelchairs-my standard electric wheelchair didn't fit-the manual wheels may make it fit, and the shooter is hard to reach, especially with contractures)
note: some electric wheelchairs will fit. my Jazzy 1103 fits fine

its a small world (easy access)
Liberty Belle Riverboat (Tour around a lake with some props and animatronics-kinda long-chair sits below level of bars, partially blocking view)

note: there is only one specially equipped boat so you may need to wait but it is fully accessible
The Magic Carpets of Aladdin (too short for some chairs)

Shows at the Castle do not have wheelcahir seating. Wishes doesn't have wheelchair seating. Shows at Tomorrowland Stage do have wheelchair seating.

Areas at the International Gateway and between Germany and Italy
Shows I recommend:

You miss some of the effects if you remain in your wheelchair but get most of them
Cranium Command (funny and cute story that portrays the job of a brain pilot that tries to control the different organs/body systems of a 12 year old boy throughout his day-really funny)
Some areas of Innoventions are fun

You will be seated behind the back row
Sounds Dangerous (special show that relies almost completely on hearing with incredible effects)
Voyage of the Little Mermaid (play type show with characters, puppets, props, laser lights, and occasionally a fine mist to create the effect of being underwater. A great place to cool off)
Muppet Vision 3D (cute 3D show with feeling thrown in through water sprays, etc. The pre-show is also good)
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (based on the hit show with a chance to get in the hot seat to play for merchandise and a cruise. People in wheelchairs sit in cut out spots in the front. Note: the controllers are kinda heavy and the buttons are stiff-someone else had to help me)

Fantasmic-(The best nighttime/overall show. Note: Use the wheelchair seats in the back and arrive 2 hours to get a good seat)
there are also a few wheelchair places in the front to the far left. I would not reccommend them for power chair users because of the possibility of becoming wet.
Animal Kingdom:
Wildlife Express Train (train that shows you how Disney cares for their animals and takes you to the Conservation Station-I didnt ride this)
Accessible spots on train. You need to back in place.
Triceratop Spin (note: I never rode this ride and I am not sure if it accommodates electric wheelchairs or just manual ones)
Kilimanjaro Safaris (mild thrill ride with a guide that drives you through authentic habitats to view real exotic animals-best experienced in the morning. Note: This ride is bumpy. You need to back in to the ride vehicle.)
Depends on your wheelchair. I didn't need to back in to the vehicle

Shows I recommend:
Festival of the Lion King (ties with Fantasmic for best show-Incredible show with acrobats, fire blowers, animatronics-cannot miss)
Its Tough to Be a Bug-3D (multi-sensory show with animatronics as well as a 3D show. Note: a few effects will be missed if youre not sitting in a chair, but I never transferred and fully enjoyed the show-one of my favorites)
Flights of Wonder (bird stunt/aerial flying)
I only transferred to rides when I was younger and stronger. The last trip I didnt transfer to any rides and still had a fabulous, magical trip with the plentiful wheelchair accessible rides and awesome shows. Always carefully weigh out the risks of transferring.
One ride that you should definately transfer to is Soarin' at Epcot. You can drive your wheelchair right up to the seat and easily transfer using your method. With two people supporting me, even I was able to ride. Best ride ever!
