If you go to the disABILITIES FAQs, you will find a link to the official WDW Guidebook for Guests with Disabilities. Follow the link for Mobility disabilities. There is a guidebook for each park that you can print a copy of.
It also includes a list of rides with Mainstream Access (those where the line is accessible).
Most attraction have a "greeter CM" who will direct you. For the lines that are not completely wheelchair accessible, before you come to stairs (or anything else that will be a problem for a wheelchair), you will see a gate or a chained area marked with a wheelchair icon. Just wait at that point for someone to get you.

There is a number of rides where you will need to be able to transfer from your wheelchair. Some of the older rides the handicap enterance is the exit of the ride. BTM, HM and Dumbo are some of the rides that use the exit for handicap.
 
I missed what your question actually was. Sorry.

Most of the rides/attractions have a greeter CM who will see your child's wheelchair and route you to the correct place (which is usually the regular line).
The Mainstream lines are listed in the other links that I posted. If you also download the Guidebook for Guests with Disabilities for each park, you can look at a description for each individual attraction. It's not very detailed, but it will tell you where to go if there is an alternate entrance.

Also, the guidebooks, the park maps and signs outside of each attraction have an icon to tell whether the whole ride is wheelchair accessible (a little wheelchair symbol), whether a transfer from an ecv to a manual wheelchair is required (a little stick person getting up from a wheelchair), or whether you need to transfer from a wheelchair to a ride car (the stick person getting totally up from the wheelchair and standing).
Here's a link to the wdwinfo general page about mobility disabilities. It includes a list of Mainstream Access lines and also rides where you need to make a transfer.
