I couldn't help but laugh when the ride attendant told them that the ride was wheelchair accessible and that they could just get in the regular line.
I bet this poor kid has physical challenges that require a wheelchair -- not all limitations are obvious. And I'd always ask about a wheelchair entrance. Isn't it wonderful that WDW makes it as convenient as possible to take EVERYONE to the parks?

That is so terrific! Can you tell me, had you been to WDW without the wheelchair before, and if so, how much more difficult was it with the chair? If we take our whole family again, it will likely be with one wheelchair or a scooter this time, and I was curious about which to get. I think the independence of the scooter might be good.
