Elevators & handicap rooms?

This may sound like a silly question, but...are the handicap rooms (like the ones with roll-in-showers and such) near the elevators at say the Boardwalk or Wilderness Lodge (or any of the hotels in Disney for that matter)?

I'm nervous about our upcoming trip to the Boardwalk. It'll be our 2nd time staying there. The first time we were talked out of a handicap room (by a DVC CM) when I called to make our reservation. She said she was handicapped and in a WC and she always gets a one-bedroom non-handicap room because it has alot of room and she requests a transfer bench for the bathroom. DH & I said ok. DH is an AK amputee. She said she'd request that we be near the elevator. We were good with that. Well, when we checked in, we were also told we were "right near the elevator". We were the very last room near the Swan! Guess they meant we'd be near their elevators (and not Boardwalk's!) We weren't happy about it but we put up with it.

This time I requested a handicap room with a standard view. I'm hoping it won't be a hike to the elevator! I don't mind the walk, but DH can't walk it.

So I was just wondering if handicap rooms were close to the elevators.

Thanks!!

If you stay in the inn side room number 528 it might have another 5 in front. It is the second room once you exit the elevator. It you walk of an elevator make a left and you was right their. That was the inn side not villa part so not sure which room to ask for on that side. The only problem was the room faced the front and you could hear the valet and lot of noise from the front. sorry the room number was 5289 plus i just saw your dvc members so this proberly won't help because your booking on the villa side.

Make a request of "near the elevator due to medical necessity ". This has almost gotten us a room very close.
