Has anyone stayed at the Marriott Grand Vista?

Can it be easy to get around in the rooms with two power chairs? I will be renting one from Care Medical, and my friend will be bringing her own. There will be three of us: myself, my significant other, and our friend. Our trip is October 27th-November 3rd, and I'm hoping that the room we're in can be big enough for two power chairs.

I'll move this to the Orlando Hotels board.

The rooms are large and are all entered from exterior hallways, so getting in and out shouldn't be difficult. However, I would suggest requesting an accessible unit. They should have wider doorways in to and inside the unit to make it easier to navigate.

We will be checking in there in 3 weeks.

Thanks. I think my friend did get an accessible room, knowing that she, and I will both have power chairs. But, I'll have to double check with her on that. I'm excited. The time we are going is right around my birthday, and so we will be celebrating my birthday at Disney World.

I've stayed there twice. LOVE that resort. I second getting an accessible villa. A regular villa would have the interior space for the power chairs but I would question getting the chairs through the door. We are talking about a 2 bedroom right?

I think so. It's me, my significant other Dan Haugen, and our friend all staying in one condo. Dan, and I will have one room, and our friend will have the other. I asked her yesterday if two power chairs can fit in the room regardless if it's accessible, and she said, "Yes."

As I said, there is certainly space inside the villa for the chairs. The living room is spacious but you will may not be able to get the chairs into the bedrooms. If they do fit it would be VERY tight. Aside from that do these chairs fit through standard size door openings? If they do not then I question you getting in from the corridor. I certainly would not be leaving such expensive items outside all night long.
Also, some 2 br's have a large master bathroom that could accommodate a chair but others do not. The second bathroom is your standard bathtub/shower combo set up and there is barely room for one person standing up to fit in there.
