yeah i cant believe how less expensive it is. It will be 4 adults and 2 children. (5and7) Im gessing i will need the 2 bedroom. Are the endtrances to the villas on ground level? if not are their elevators? we will have a handicapped/wheelchair child with us.
How old is the child with a wheelchair and what "features" do you need?
If you need a roll in shower, roll under sinks or a raised seat toliet, then your only option is to request a handicapped accessible room. If you request a handicapped room, that is a guarantee and your confirmation should say "Accessible room guaranteed" or "Confirmed".
If you don't need those things, a regular 2 bedroom villa might be a better option. Make sure your confirmation request says something to the effect of "First floor for Medical Reasons." That is a request, not a guarantee, but for a studio, one or 2 bedroom, it's usually not a problem. For a GV, the only ones that are accessible without stairs are the handicapped ones - so you need to confirm a handicapped one to ensure you are not assigned one on 2nd floor.
Two bedroom villas have a whirlpool tub in the Master bath (which would be a high lift if you need to bathe a child who needs to transfer) and a bathtub in the other bathroom. The OKW villas itself is large and has plenty of room for manouvering a wheelchair. The bathrooms are large and a wheelchair will fit inside.
If you are looking at any of the other
DVC villas, I would suggest a handicapped villa in any of them unless your person using a wheelchair is able to park the wheelchair and is able to walk around in the villa. We have stayed at BCV, VWL and BWV and the regular units are very tight with a wheelchair (ie, we had to move furniture around a lot to make "paths" for DD's wheelchair).
