Cathie, in October of 2003, I traveled to WDW as a disabled person. Due to an injury and surgery, I could not walk for 4 months and spent my time in a wheelchair. I almost cancelled my vacation out of concerns over my health and mobility issues, but one of my dear friends here on the Dis (Minybear) outted me on the Dis'
disABILITIES! board (click here). The rest, as they say, is history. I went on that trip and had the trip of a lifetime (
click here to read my trip report -- I have links in there to photos of the handicap-accessible resort rooms that I stayed in).
If your friend has mobility issues, do make sure to request a handicap-accessible resort room. I stayed in handicap-accessible rooms at Port Orleans - Riverside, the Grand Floridian, and the Beach Club Villas. Those rooms were a lifesaver to me because I needed a roll-in shower (amongst other things).
I am not familiar with the handicap-accessible rooms at the All Stars Resorts, but I bet the folks on the
disABILITIES! board can help you out. If you need to book a handicap-accessible room for your friend, place a phone call to your
travel agent or Disney and make sure that need is noted on his/her resort room reservation.
