[Flynn's Gal]

Please share information and pictures of accessible rooms at DVC resorts here. This will be similar to the thread on the disABILITIES board, but limited to DVC resorts.
Please include:
*Resort name, room category (view), room/floor number.
*Accommodation named on booking, if known (i.e. FL special, hearing, wheelchair with tub, wheelchair with roll-in shower).
*Any helpful insights/observations.

Pictures are helpful. Let's start taking them of the room accommodations and post them here!

At OKW the accessible studios will have a roll in shower instead of a tub. The accessible one bedrooms will have the full sized jacuzzi tub AND a roll in shower, since all one bedrooms and studios are combinable into a 2 bedroom lock-off unit, both sides will have roll in showers. Because OKW was built before some changes to accessible requirements, all buildings except 3 have stairs and no elevators to get to upper floors, thus all accessible units at OKW are ground floor units, except in building 63, one of the buildings with elevators. Grand villas at OKW are two stories with some bedrooms being upstairs, and a master bedroom downstairs. The upstairs portion of the OKW Grand Villas are only accessible via stairs, so for grand villas, those with mobility issues would be limited to the first floor Master Bedroom, living room, and Kitchen areas. Still a large area. There are only 3 accessible Grand Villas at OKW, so if you need a Grand Villa, you may need to book early. There is less under sink cabinetry in the OKW accessible rooms to allow for turning radius of wheelchairs.

I have not seen any of the other resorts as far as accessible rooms. All OKW Studios have 2 real queen beds, no sleeper sofas The buildings with ADA modified rooms are shown with a red border on this map.

BWV HA grand villa. Sorry, but I cannot remember the room #. There are only 5 grand villas at BWV and only 1 is HA.

*Bay Lake Tower/ Standard Studio/Room 7228
*Accessible Category Room: FL Special
* Other than a shower rail which is also in a regular studio shower, there were only two real differences I noticed between this room and a studio without accommodations 1. The sink was flipped to the kitchenette area instead of the bathroom, which also had a longer counter top. It didn't seem to give the bathroom very much space. 2. Rails next to and behind the toilet. Everything else seemed the same as a non-accessible room in the hallway and bedroom.

*BoardWalk Villas, 1BD Standard View, Room 1068/1st floor
*Wheelchair with roll-in shower
*Any helpful insights/observations: The bedroom directly behind the elevator. The noise from the elevator can be heard sometimes, but it wasn't enough to bother us. Very light sleepers may feel differently. We loved being so close to the pool and the walkway to the Boardwalk.
