5/20/2019-Pop 31-roll-in shower rooms & 39-FL ADA tub rooms

I'm at Disney Pop Century Resort and I happen to be in the room when housekeeping arrived to clean my room.

I'm staying solo and I'm a male, so I believe that the lady that came to clean called her supervisor to let her know that she was going in to clean my room. I guess, that they must have a policy for cleaning rooms with a male in the room. I don't know for sure.

But anyway.

Joanne, the supervisor, and I started up a conversation about the standard room, the roll-in shower room that I use, and the Florida A.D.A. handicap room, which I never really understood.

I guess that I had seen too many OLD photos of Disney Pop Century Resort room photos. One, in particular, was the fold-down toilet hand bar that is across from the wall hand bar. They are not in the new Disney Pop Century Resort refurbished rooms.

Joanne was very nice and looked up the official numbers.

There are 31 handicap, roll-in shower rooms in this resort and the rooms alternate buildings. I am in Building #10, The Big Wheel Building, in room #0203.

All of these rooms have entry doors that are flat to the outside wall instead of indented. This creates a lot more room along with the fold up Murphy bed. Well, at least for me, traveling solo.

All of these rooms have lower platform beds with one mattress. Low, but can handle a Hoyer lift underneath.

All of these rooms have handrails on the walls next to the toilet and in the roll-in shower.

There are 39 handicap, A.D.A. Florida rooms in this resort and the rooms alternate buildings.

All of these rooms have handrails on the walls next to the toilet and in the tub with glass doors

The tubs are the same height and size as the Standard Rooms.

All of these rooms have higher platform beds with one mattress. High enough to put luggage underneath.

That is all that I know.

Joanne was a Housekeeping Manager. She said she used to work at All-Star Resort as a housekeeper.

She was so nice. She even brought me gifts of plastic glasses, pretend yo-yo's and smiley-face rubric's cube.

I was curious about the room next to me since the flat doors are paired. I told her I didn't notice any marks on the door for room #0204, but there were a few or more black marks from possibly a mobility scooter pushing against the door.

She told me the room next door was probably a King bedroom and not handicap like mine. I was always curious about that since the door was flat instead of indented. But come to think of it it would be weird that that architecture didn't appear in pairs like the other doorways.

Hope you get to see the Skyliner do some test runs:)

I did see test runs, but I was disappointed that I couldn't get photos of the second row.

When I first got at Disney Pop Century Resort, I went to their Disney Skyliner Gondola Station. The white walls were still up along both sides. On the bridge, the wall was almost ten feet tall with no benches to stand on to take a peak.

I was trying to peak in between the construction gate and I couldn't see hardly anything.

When I went to Disney Hollywood Studios, the fence was not as high and I found a guest sitting on one bench next to the fence which was a lot shorter and he said he could only see construction material and could not see the rear on the Disney Skyliner Gondola Station.

The other benches were located further away and I also asked another stranger to stand on the bench to see if she could get a photo for me. She did, but it looks similar to another photo I have seen and just shows the ceiling's second-row grove and a gondola further back than the regular row. Nothing lower.

I saw a break in the construction entrance door and I tried to open more to take a photo, but there was too much construction stuff in the way and a security guard came by and told me to stop.
