New Acessible rooms ? Woot Hoot !!!

[Charleyann]

So excited. Taking my teenage son to Disney and just found out the accessible roll in shower rooms have a king and double ! My son doesn't like to sleep with his Momma and who could blame him and with us going Alone this year , this year makes it perfect !!!

Has anyone stayed in them and what buildings are they located in ??? We are suppose to be preferred. Hoping we were't given the wrong information. !!!

thanks

What hotel are you staying in? Also, we've seen rooms with one king OR with two doubles (or two queens). It sounds like maybe you were hoping for a king bed and a double bed in the same room, but I haven't seen any rooms like that.

We are in the All Star Movies. I even spoke with guest services. Asked again if they were sure because I would reserve a cot . That makes it tight squeeze but you do what you have to do...

Guest services said they changed because of the new DOJ rules ? Anyone ???? If this isn't the case I need to reserve a cot....

Thanks

We have only ever had a room with roll-in shower and a king bed. Recent refurbs were introducing rooms with roll-in shower and 2 double (or queen) beds but I have not heard mention of any rooms with a double and a king bed. I doubt that would even be possible due to the extra space taken up by the accessible bathroom which was the reason why these rooms were originally designed with only one bed.

Which resort was the CM you spoke with referring to and was this a CM from special needs or a CRO CM?

Yay, it does sound weird - that isn't even a bed combination in any of the non-accessible rooms.

However, two doubles would still work for you, wouldn't it? Still two beds - just that neither is a King.

I just priced Pop Century for early December 2012 online, there is an option to search "accessible rooms" and this is what came up:


"Standard Room/Wheelchair Access with Roll-in Shower/Option for Hearing Accessibility/1 King Bed, 1 Double Bed Included

All rooms have one king-size bed, one double-size bed, table and chairs, vanity area with sink, and a bathroom. All rooms are non-smoking. Amenities include high-speed Internet access (additional fee), in-room wall safe, voice mail, hairdryer, iron and ironing board. A crib is available upon request. A mini-fridge is available upon request at a charge. These rooms offer views of the Resort hotel.

This room is equipped with a wheelchair accessible route in room, and toilet and shower grab bars. Optional communication features, for Guests with Hearing Disabilities, include: visual alarm; visual door knock/door bell alert; visual telephone call alert; a telephone with volume control; and electrical outlet near telephone jack. TTY equipment is available upon request at check-in."

Bolding by me, it seems they are stating that a wheelchair accessible roll in shower room can have 1 king and one double, there is NO WAY Bill's wheelchair would be able to go anywhere in a room with that configuration. I don't see how this could be possible at all. I hope someone just wrote this up horribly wrong, but it seems there is another option to pick to just have the 1 king bed in the room. I want to see pictures if this is true.

Yes, two double bed with roll in is fine. My reservation does also say preferred one king, one double , roll in shower.....thought the agent was wrong and called back to verify....


Who would know? I have been too Disney 10 times and roll in have always been one king only.....

Man, they have got me confused!

Typical double bed is 54" wide, or 4.5 feet; typical king bed is 76" wide, or 6.3 feet.

With the old set-up - two doubles plus room for the door to open plus space between the beds plus space between the far bed and the non-roll-in bathroom wall being about (unsupported estimate) 15 feet, it sounds really tight. As the PP said, it doesn't sound like there's enough room to get a wheelchair around.

I agree !

Wrong information doesn't always surprise me. At least we can come here for logic and pick it apart....

I think the wording of the 1 king + 1 double is in reference to when there is only a king roll in and more than two people and how Disney work that situation. POFQ was 'built out' to allow for the 2 beds in that resort, so I think Disney are just wording the roll in shower rooms as to not raise too many questions and confiming that everyone will have a bed to sleep in.

I would guess that the All Star rooms will be the set up you have had previously for both of you- one king roll in.
