Raised Toilet seat

[Nanajo1]

My friend will have a non h/p villa but she needs a raised toilet seat. Will she be able to get one from the resort?
I don't know what you can request if you are in a non h/p room.
Appreciate any help.
TIA

I honestly don't know if the resorts would have an extension available of not...I would think probably not. Walgreens and other drug stores usually have a reasonable priced heavy duty plastic extension, maybe she could have one delivered, and just dispose of it when she leaves? There is some sort of pharmacy service that delivers to resorts.

Or she could try a rental place, but I'm not sure they would normally carry that item.

Only time for a quick reply

Care Medical rents commode chairs and toilet raisers. There is a link to their website in post #2 of the disABILITIES FAQs thread. That thread is near the top of this board or you can follow the linkbin my signature to get there.

One of the other posts in the disABILITIES FAQs thread contains information about the resorts. You will find contact information for WDW Soecial Reservations there and they will be able to answe your question.

If you have a car, you might be well off to just go to a drug store and buy one, as Chuck suggested.

A freind of mine uses one and Disney provides it at the resort. She never uses an HCA room because she does not need one. The only way to find out for sure would be to call and ask. If they have one they will put a note on your reservation, but even so you'll have to remind them at check in, just to make sure and it normally takes about an hour to get things like that put in your room.

Thanks.
I'll do that.

I wish I knew that about requesting a raised toilet seat. We are a group of seniors and it would have been helpful. We do not need a HA room, at least not for now. Who would you ask to suggest maybe to have rooms inbetween handicap and "regular rooms". We were in a 2 bedroom dedicated room at OKW. We discussed that maybe in the main bathroom, a raised toilet would be good. In units that have a lockoff, that would not work. We figured that if there were children in the dedicated 2 bedroom, that they would be where the queen beds were located and the parents in the master bedroom.

We had changed rooms. In the first room, the beds were so high, we just laughed. But it was quite hard for my parents (in their 80s) to get into the bed. These were the queen beds. A step would have been helpful.

A nightlite would be nice in the bathroom too.

Also, a pair of scissors. I learned the hard way and now pack a pair of scissors.

You ask Housekeeping for the raised toilet seat. You can also request a shower chair if needed.
