Last year DBF and I stayed in a room at ASMo with two double beds. One bed became the "junk pile" and we shared the other. We are both kinda Pooh-sized, so needless to say, this was rather uncomfortable. Luckily we were exhausted every night and it wasn't too hard to fall asleep anyway.
This year my DBF has requested that I try to get a king size bed at Pop. I'm all for this, except for a few points.
1. I know most, but not all, of the king size rooms are also handicap accessible, and I don't want to keep someone who really NEEDS it from having it.
2. Requesting a king seriously limits which rooms you can stay in, and while I wouldn't be devastated if we didn't, I'd really love to stay in either the Lady or the Tramp building.
Getting the doubles would make it alot easier to get into the Lady or Tramp buildings. The problem then becomes sleeping arrangements. I'm perfectly fine with us each having a double bed. DBF thinks we should share a bed, even though it would be too small, b/c that's what we're "supposed" to do.
I don't know where he's getting this "traditional" mindset all of a sudden. We've never done anything the way we're "supposed" to. We live together; we are engaged, but probably won't be getting married...at least not anytime in the forseeable future. (He's Catholic, I'm atheist. I won't do it his way, he won't do it mine, so we are at an impasse on this.) We will be celebrating our 6 year (of dating) anniversary while at WDW, so I can see some snuggling, but I don't do "adult recreation" in hotels. Just too icky for me.
I have a hard enough time getting over the fact that someone else has slept on that same pillow. 
What do other couples do? Do you share a small double, even though it's uncomfortable, but you are "together"? Do you each take a double and sleep 50's sitcom style, apart but comfortable? Or do you forgo location and take the king wherever you can get it?

We both need our space, and in going from a King to a double...we don't even try. We usually have "visits," then it's each to their own bed. 
and never gotten a handicap accessible room. We prefer the King bed to doubles, becuase we feel that there is more space in the room and they are usually in a quiter area of the resort. We are willing to take a few more steps to have a quiter area. So its a good night sleep all around which is necessary at the World to be able to keep up the pace with out getting grouchy. I would request a King bed and If you get there and it is a handicap room which I belive that you can ask upon check then just tell them that you would prefer to not to take up a room that was designed for someone who needs it, and tell them a double would be fine. I'm sure it will not be a issue.
I always bring my own pillow for Dh and myself no matter where we travel. It really make a big difference and we seem to sleep better. Just a thought, and yes and I have carried on the plane in a plastic see through pillow bag, and not had any problems. On one trip we brought a extra suitcase with the pillows crammed in there, and then use a space bag to bring them back with " stuff " 
DH and I sleep in a King at home. He is a firefighter and does not sleep well anymore. Some nights he sleeps with me in the King other nights when I am going to work the next morning, and he is not, he uses the twin bed in his office. We love each other very much and have been married for 15 years. I also use a CPAP and sometimes the white noise and air it blows out keeps him awake--yet when I don't weart it, I raise the roof. He is getting a sleep study in June thank goodness. Our joke with one another is that any time we travel it is a "vacation" which allows us to affectionately enjoy two double beds. I get the bed nearest to the wall and he sleeps close to the door......after reading the fire exit instructions on the back of the door. Now that I look back at this paragraph....maybe we do have issues
