Fully Handicap Accessible Rooms at Pop Century

[tinkerone]

I'm looking for information on the handicap accessible rooms at the Pop. Where are they located? What kind of beds, ie-one king/two doubles. Anything else that I should be thinking about.
I am planning a trip with some siblings and one has MS which has accelerated over the past year. Its time we looked into this option.
Thank you for any information or pics you can provide.

I would also post in the DisAbilities thread. They are incredibly helpful and gave me great info when I traveled with my mom who was in a wheelchair.

Accessible rooms are spread throughout the resort, not necessarily all on the "preferred" section unless you book a preferred accessible room. There are descriptions of the various rooms dansdad listed above when you go into the booking feature of the WDW website. Be sure to actually book an accessible room if that is the need, don't just make it a request on a reservation.

Enjoy your vacation!
