I have paid for a Royal Room Pool View. And asked for a corner room to accommodate my electric scooter. As I understand it, because it is a request due to mobility issues that this would bump the request up the "allocation food chain" . Does anyone know if that is the case?
And secondly. .. I have been advised to have the Disney gift cards I am buying shipped to the resort (since they don't ship to Canada) anyone know how far in advance I can send them to be held for me?
I am SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS TRIP that I am driving my poor daughter insane.
First, there is really no medical advantage whatsoever in getting a corner room in terms of space for a scooter, as there is exactly the same amount of space and the same layout as the other rooms. The only difference is that there is an extra window on what would otherwise have been a wall. So I doubt your request would be treated as a medical one.
There are a few regular rooms with a bit of extra space though, where the indented section by the doorway has been bumped out. This is done for all the Wheelchair Accessible rooms, but also for any rooms which happen to share a common wall with one of those. They will have the same feature, as it wouldn't have been possible to move one wall without moving the one in the adjacent room too.
Shipping can be done pretty much any time, as they do have a longer-term storage room which is next door to the main mail room. However you obviously won't want to leave things lying around too long, so I'd suggest aiming to get your items there within around a week or so of your arrival date if you can.
