Elevator buildings at OKW?

[Simba's Mom]

Has anyone requested and gotten the elevator buildings at OKW? I was wondering how often that request is fullfilled. Now that I use an ECV, we still like the upper floor and would like an elevator building, but everytime I request one, when MS hears I'll have an ECV, she seems to automatically tell me I have to havwe a first floor villa. Anyone else been able to get upper floor with an ECV? Is there something we should tell MS (or not tell them)?

Best to not tell them. They may assume you cannot handle the steps at all. In a fire emergency the elevator will not be available and you could be trapped.

Good point Laura.

The only potential problem then is that, if they don't know I have an ECV, they might assign us to an upper floor in a non-elevator building.

Since there are only 3 elevator buildings, I would assume the overall chances of it as a request is somewhat slim. I would be sure to mention that you have an ECV/mobility issues, but would like an upper floor unit. They will try to accommodate you, but you may have to make do with a ground floor unit. Safety first. Do specify whether or not you need a handicap modified unit (raised commode, roll in shower and so forth).
