Accessible showers

[autumnblue]

Do the walk in/roll in showers generally come with their own standard shower bench or do you have to bring your own?


Thanks

If the shower doesn't have a fold down seat the hotel has to have a shower chair no need to bring one.

We were at a major chain once and had a roll in shower I went to the front desk and they told me that they didn't have one and that my DD would have to use her wheelchair to take a shower. I call the corporate office and told them I would put one of their nice chairs in the shower before I put my DD wheelchair in the shower. They put me on hold and while I was on the phone guess what suprise they found a shower chair

I spent almost four months in a wheelchair due to an injury and surgery to repair my leg. While I was temporarily disabled, my family took a vacation to Walt Disney World. I had arranged in advance handicap-accessible resort rooms for our two-week stay. Our first room was at Port Orleans - Riverside. Our second room was at the Grand Floridian, and our third room was at the Beach Club Villas (we resort-hopped, as you can see). All three of those rooms had roll-in showers since I could not stand or walk. Those showers were an absolute Godsend to me. I have photos of the rooms in my Yahoo photo albums. I'll post links to the rooms below (I need to note that I had booked a Grand Floridian deluxe concierge room so it was larger than their standard rooms):

Port Orleans - Riverside Room
Grand Floridian Room (bathroom)
Grand Floridian Room (bedroom area)
Beach Club Villas Studio Room (bedroom area, I'm sorry I don't have more photos posted of it)
Beach Club Villas Studio Room (bathroom)

As you can see from the photos, all three of the roll-in showers came with pull-down shower benches.
