Everyone in the party will be allowed to accompany the person in the wheelchair. I went in March with 14 people, and this is how it worked for us. Here's a few things I think that are important to note.
Letting a large party on when one is in a wheelchair is not abusing the system. My family and I see each other exactly one time a year, on our trip to Disney. We go over Spring Break, an extremely crowded time, with huge lines. If we couldn't all ride everything together, this trip would be pointless. Splitting us up, or only allowing the person w/the pass to go w/one other person wouldn't be fair to families like mine. We like to be together on the trip, and we've never had one person say a word to us while in the parks.
As another poster said, many rides have waiting queue's large enough that there is no special line for those in wheelchairs. On many rides, we waited w/everyone else, and that was fine with us.
Keep in mind, those that think this is system abuse...when you go to WDW in a large group, with anyone in a wheelchair, you move through the day pretty slowly. You miss a lot of things. It's very hard to get everything done. So allowing the whole party to go ahead on a few lines is hardly too much to ask of lucky everyday guests who have the luxury of a healthy family.

Maybe your not spending enough time there, if your complaining, you don't get to see it all, stay a couple more days, after all it's the only time you see your family. It's all about perception. I see plenty of people in the parks in wheelchairs and I'd bet only half of those are legit, for the legit ones, I have no problem. But it's the 400lb people that can't bother to walk around, that give everyone the bad rep. But that's another discussion, isn't it?
There's another way at looking at what you said...

That's a bit selfish, isn't it? What about myself and my family that have to wait in those long lines, is that fair to Families like mine? I don't buy that argument, one little bit. Go when it's less busy, and you can wait in the lines, like everyone else. This is a good case, of I want my cake, and I want to eat it too. :shrug: Go off peak, and you will have a more enjoyable trip. Or should we revolve around you?
