This is the end of the Small World renovated wheelchair line. We were waiting in the area guests enter just before boarding with a wheelchair. Guests wait here until the CM comes to take them to a boat. In our case, we waited for the wheelchair accessible boat. Guests who can walk may park their...

This picture shows part of the wheelchair queue for Small World at WDW. The line to the far left of the picture is where guests with wheelchairs wait when it is almost time for them to board. That area is ramped failry steeply and has a gate at the front, so guests can remain in that area until...

Guests with wheelchairs can elect to stay in their wheelchair for the Small World ride. The wheelchair ramp is at the back of the boat (left side of the picture). Other guests board the boat by climbing over the side. There are 6 seats (the front 2 are not shown in the picture). The wheelchair...

This sign along with a painted rectangle was at OKW bus stops on 4/4/11

You can see how low the Dumbo car is.

This is a low transfer into Dumbo with nothing to really hold onto.

As the back of the ride car is put back into position and the side of the car is shut, the platform the wheelchair is one turns toward the front of the car, in position to ride.

After the wheelchair is driven onto the ride car, the back of the car, which was used as a ramp, is folded back up to close the car.

The CM removes the back seat of the carpet and the back of the seat area lowers to make a ramp. The wheelchair is pushed on (it is a bit steep) and the back is put up again to help secure the wheelchair.

As of Oct. 1, 2010, within the next 6 months all resorts will have the painted box for sizing purposes. The box dimensions are 30X48. Your device must fit in the box in a normal configuration, turning the front wheels is not a normal configuration. To use a lift style bus, the device and rider...

This shows the ADA (transfer) Dumbo car with the side open for transfer. A wheelchair can be placed close to the Dumbo for transfer.

The CM is opening the door on the side of the Dumbo car to make the opening wider. A wheelchair can be placed as close as needed to the Dumbo for transfer. It is a bit low, but is a straight in transfer.

This is the wheelchair accessible Toy Story Mania car. It has a seat which can be removed to make space for a wheelchair. In this photo, the seat has not been removed and rolled out of the way. The back of the car folds down to make a ramp for the seat on the right to roll out and the wheelchair...

EDITED WITH NEW PHOTO April 2011. The queue at Small World at WDW was renovated and reopened in early 2011. There is a separate wheelchair entrance and waiting area. After riding, guests with wheelchairs exit thru the same area as other guests. Guest with wheelchairs, ECVs or other mobility...

This shows the fold down seat in the roll in shower in an SSR master bathroom.

This is a view into the roll in shower in an SSR master bathroom. There is a fold down seat in the area of the shower that you can't see to the left of the shower opening. The sink is off the picture just to the left of the shower. The toliet is farther away to the left, with space between the...

This is the roll in shower from an SSR master bath. The bathroom is the the same size as a non-accessible SSR master bath, just arranged differently to make room for the shower. The bathroom is the same in a 1 or 2 bedroom villa.

It does have rails which guests can lean against (they are not designed to have anyone sit on them). Guests may bring a wheelchair or ECV into any row, but because of the closeness of the rails, it is easier to manouver a wheelchair or ECV in the back of the theater, where there are no lean...
