okw bathroom entrances

[Tony-NJ]

Hi folks - I'm having a hard time deciding what to do and understanding the problem here.

I have a 1 bedroom booked with me, partner and MIL. I booked near HH and either something on 1st floor or with an elevator. MIL needs this - she would have a very hard time climbing stairs.

I hear there is only one entrance to the bathroom which is thru the bedroom. Not a good thing. Then I hear that it's not in all buildings - but I was on the phone with MS yesterday and they said it's like that in all buildings, but then she said that she was viewing the room layouts from the DVC website... So I didn't give her much credit. I read that there are 2 entrances to the bathroom in buildings 30+

Here's what I want / need - maybe you can help me decide what to ask for next?

I need a 1 bedroom uinit - either on the 1st floor or in a building with an elevator. we WANT to be mear the HH - MIL can walk but not far distances - I know the resort is spread out.

If I decided not to request "near the HH". What other area's are not too far from there and maybe a 5 minute walk?


Thanks in advance!

Buildings under 30 have only one way into bathroom and that is through Master Bedroom. Buildings 62 - 64 : all 3 have elevator - see this thread - Post #19; it tells you which buildings are HA also.

Or maybe try 32 - 35 ? - near bus stop (every bus will stop at HH) and maybe not too far walk to HH, convenient to Turtle Pond pool ( has a seasonal counter serve too ) Here is link to another OKW map, maybe this can help you get a better idea. Best wishes

Just ask to be near any bus stop. That will get you easy access to HH by taking ANY bus that comes along, since they all stop at HH last. If your request is simply "first floor or elevator building", you could get any of the buildings available. If you specify 1st floor with two entrances to the master bath, they should know to put you either in buildings above 30 or at least give you an elevator building, because those do indeed have the extra door to the master....They are buildings 62, 63, and 64.

If you are booked in the "near HH" category, that is buildings 11-14 and 23-26. None of those have the second entrance into the bathroom or elevators. If you are not actually booked in that category and are just requesting to be near HH, then you want buildings 30 and up to get the second entrance to the bathroom.

Thanks folks. so I can request the extra entrance to the bathroom? Maybe I'll call tomorrow - they will be sick of me!

You need to find out if you are booked in the "near HH" category (it's an actual booking category, not a request). If you are, none of those buildings (11-14 or 23-26) have the 2nd entrance and if that's important to you, you should see if you can have it switched.

Since you specifically booked HH, you wont be able to request that. There are NO buildings in the HH catagory that have the second entrance to the bathroom and NO buildings in that catagory that have elevators. Instead, you should call and see if there is something available for your timeframe in the regular booking catagory. THEN if you book in the regular catagory, you can REQUEST the second door to the bathroom or elevator building for medical reasons.

Thanks again folks - I do understand that there are no units like this in the HH category. We will have to discuss with MIL and see if we want to move away from that.

Thanks again.
