No, but Disney's Saratoga Springs (DVC Villas) has a "zero entry" pool. And there are modified accessble villas with roll-in showers, lower counters, etc.

Saratoga Springs is the only resort/DVC site that has a pool hoist for disable guests. I had a food reaction so a lot of me is on strike but I do remember a while back, last year probably, I posted as did others some pictures of the hoist. It goes into a capped area in the ground at one hot tub or jacuzzi plus the main pool. All other pools have bump steps or zero entry pools.

There are off site places that rent private homes aka villas that have hoists but I am not familiar with any of those.

You would have to talk to DVC about whether or not you can pool hop due to your disability otherwise you would be stuck at Saratoga Springs. As for the room you would have to let DVC know you need disabled services and that is not my forte. At WDW you just call a numbe and talk to them about special needs like bed rails and disabled rooms.

Check out www.allstarvacationhomes.com . Last year I was talking to them and they said two of their homes are fully accessible including stair chairs inside and pool hoists.

If you go to post #3 of the disABILITIES FAQs thread, there is a link to a trip report from eternaldisneyfan. Her family stayed at an accessible off-site home that had a pool with a hoist. I am not sure of she gave contact information for the owner of that home, but I think she did.

One thing to think about with an off-site place is how you will get to the parks. If you are staying on site, you can take the WDW transportation.
