Disney's Pop Century Resort Room #0203 refurbished roll-in shower room review with photos.
I stayed at Disney's Pop Century Resort on the dates of June 22, 2018, Friday and departed on July 5, 2018, Thursday.
This room has a roll-in shower, one lower queen bed, and one lower queen murphy bed with the table. Both queen beds are much lower than the standard room for easy access and transfer for wheelchair users. This is all new to me at my stage of life.
When I used to use the standard rooms, the beds were too high and my feet never touched the ground. The staff offered me a stool with an attached hand height handle to help me get in and out of the bed. But this has gotten too difficult for me without falling at the age of 68 years old. They also offered a bathtub chair which was a help, but the bathtub is too small to turn the chair around. That is why I am going to use these new rooms from now own. I think that this works better for me from my personal experience. But, of course, everyone has their own unique experiences and likes and dislikes and abilities. These are my likes.
Disney Pop Century Resort's Roll-in Shower room #0203 of building #10 number plate outside the door of the room. This room has a roll-in shower, lower queen bed, lower, queen murphy bed with the table.
This is the view from outside the room looking straight ahead from the second floor.
This is the view to the right of the room. Notice the rooms #0101 & #0102 have recessed door entrances, whereas my room is flush with the windows as shown in the next photo.
This is the view of my door for room #0203 and the next room #0204. Notice these doors are not recessed like the standard rooms in order to give more interior space. I don't know what type of room #0204 is because it was always occupied. The resort was full every day of my visit so I was unable to see the other rooms. I am told the other accessible rooms have a lower bathtub and lower beds, but no roll-in shower.
This is the view further to the left of my Room #0203. The room you see was #0204, then #0205 & #0206. You can see how room #0204 doorway is flush to the windows whereas the rest of the standard rooms are recessed to allow easier passage of guests, especially when the large housekeeping carts are in the way during their cleaning of the rooms.
This is the photo inside my room #0203. Notice the door is flush not recessed like the recessed "standard" rooms. I am traveling by myself. I put one chair next to the front door to put things on to help me after I open the door to leave the room. It was easier to hold the door open and pick up something from the chair. Next to that is my large suitcase on the stand and a hamper for laundry.
A little further left in the room is my wheelchair. They moved the coat rack to this space. It has five little knobs to hang coats, etc.. I use it to hang my wheelchair charger, rain poncho, etc.. You can see my wheelchair next to it with an electrical outlet below. In the standard room, the coat rack is on the wall just outside the bathroom. They also moved the fridge and cabinet to the other side of the TV/dresser. This created more open space near the door entrance.
This is the TV and dresser. It appears to be in the same place as the standard room across from the queen bed. You may notice the fridge and cabinet is on the left and not the right side as in the standard room to allow more free space.
And finally the rest of the wall. You see the TV and dresser on the right, followed by the fridge and cabinet on the left and the closet further left. In the standard room, I believe the closet is in the bathroom. The bathroom door is a little wider allowing easier access for a wheelchair. I really notice the difference from the standard room. It was even difficult to turn around in the standard room bathroom with a wheelchair. The closet blocks the wall where the coat hanger would have gone in a standard room.
Now on the other wall, it looks the same as a standard room, but with a little more space, and the queen bed is lower than the standard room. This is not a King bed. There are three bedside tables fixed to the wall, and each has an electrical outlet with spaces for two plugs and two USB ports. I plugged my C.P.A.P. machine and phone recharger at the center bedside table. The resort phone is also located here. I should have taken a photo of the bed legs showing how much lower they were. Maybe you can tell from the height of the mattress and the bedside tables.
And this is the photo of the Murphy bed table, Murphy queen bed was left up. There seemed to be more space between the bed and the table to me as compared to the standard room. But it may just be my imagination. The table was missing that large metal piece on the floor to allow the queen bed to fold out lower to the floor. Sometimes I used my chair and sometimes I used my wheelchair when I was at the table. Sometimes, I would turn my chair sideways to the TV and use an upside-down trash can to raise my right leg up when I could. I think next time I might take my tripod seat for this.
