non-Disney accessible rooms

[joanchris]

There's been a lot of talk about how at WDW the rooms with roll in showers are usually king beds, and that Disney will give you an adjoining room ( at no charge) if you require this and have a party of 4 (or 5 at the hotels that normally sleep 5/room).
My question is, is this somethind Disney does because they want to be accomodating, or is it required? I've tried researching online, but cannot find anything that states this....I've found plenty about the number of rooms required to be accessible, or to have roll in showers, but nothing else.
DD10 is getting bigger, and harder to get in/out of the tub, so we're trying to figure out how to finance a bigger bathroom here at home, but once we get used to this we won't want to go back when we travel (not a lot, a night here and there on the way to visit family, an occasional long weekend).
Thanks!

I do not have an exact reference, but it is handled in one of the Department of Justice extensions of ADA. Basically the concept is that normally two people will be in a bed, and a standard room has two beds and sleeps four. If there are accessible rooms and they cannot provide an accessible room that sleeps four as the accessible room only sleeps two, they must provide a connecting room at no additional charge.
