Pool roll-in chair

[markpenske]

I believe Animal Kingdom lodge has a zero entry pool and available roll-in pool chairs. Has anyone ever seen these chairs? Maybe a link or a picture?

I'm not familiar with them, but I came across a review from TripAdvisor in 2014 that mentioned them. No idea if they're still offering them.

Not sure if the ones at Animal Kingdom Lodge are the same, but this video shows the roll-in water chair that's used at Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon.

Both of the pools at Animal Kingdom Resort have zero entry pools. One of the pools is at Jambo House (the Lodge) and the other is at Kidani Village.
The pool wheelchairs at all the WDW zero entry pools are similar to the one in the video already posted. In my family’s experience, the pool wheelchairs are not unusually just sitting out - you need to ask for them. If they just leave them out, kids take them and play with them.
The pools also have pool lifts that guests can operate themselves - all pools and whirlpools at WDW have these pool lifts.

Do you know what make/model the pool lifts are?

Disability Services might be the place to ask that question - they can find out for you.

We are at the resorts now, if I can I will see if I can get a picture of one when we go swimming.

I'm not sure if all resorts use the same model, but I suspect they probably do.

This is pool lift at Old Key West Turtle Pond pool. The label says SRSmith
I’ve seen the lifts at Animal Kingdom Lodge, Caribbean Beach, Port Orleans and Art of Animation in the past. Not sure if they are all the same brand, but if not, they are very similar. There is a control so the user or someone standing nearby can control it

Haven't been to the pool yet or done much around the parks, but here are some photos. Some look rotated, not sure why, sorry about that.

And a few more since it only lets me do 10 at a time.

And should you wish to see more and/or follow along:

Some from earlier this year. One at DCA and one at Hollywood Studios. I cannot wait to get back again.

I have seen the pool chairs at Typhoon Lagoon and Castaway Cay, and I imagine Disney uses the same things everywhere. Be warned they have to padding and no comfort. I am not even sure they have foot plates. They cannot be self propelled, or at least not well. I watched a video of a woman who is a full time wheelchair user at typhoon lagoon, here

At 5:18, it shows the pool chair. There are no footplates, and she cannot move it on her own.

This is not to say a pool wheelchair will not work for you, but it is something to be aware of.
