Seeking Resort Accomodations With A Sofa Or Recliner

[DznyRulz]

Friends of mine are heading to WDW for their honeymoon in November. They have never been to WDW and would like to stay at the resort. Their only requirement, so far, is a room with a sofa or recliner (future hubby has a bad back). I have only stayed at FW so I can't recommend a hotel to them. Any thoughts? Thanks.

No recliners at any Disney resort. Sofas are in the Studio rooms at Disney Vacation Club resorts such as Boardwalk Villas, Wilderness Lodge Villas, Beach Club Villas and Saratoga Springs Villas. These units have one queen bed and a sofa bed and small microwave and refrigerator.

Here is a picture of a club level room at the Dolphin (not a recliner but a cushy looking chair nonetheless).

Some of the deluxe hotels have a day bed in them. This is basically a sofa. here is a picture of one in a room at the Contemporaryhttp://allearsnet.com/acc/cont26.jpg

all DVC resorts 1-bedroom and up - also have a sofa bed in the livingroom.

plus a whirlpool bath, a shower stall, a king bed in the bedroom - a balcony...

Now don't get me wrong I love DVC studios - but for a honeymoom the extra room might be nice.

I think some of the suites at the WDW resort also have a sofa.

also the day bed at the deluxe resort - could be consider a kinda of sofa.

FW cabins also has a sofa.

they could rent points from a DVC member and save some money - No housekeeping if you rent points - unless you pay extra at your arrival at the resort.

Some of the king rooms at the Dolphin have sofas, as do all of the suites.

The lodge tower rooms at the Grand Floridian have a small sitting room with a sofa and chair and extra TV.

Wouldn't think the daybeds at the deluxes would suit their needs. It's a fold-up single bed and it's kinda' squeeky -- at least that's what it is at the Poly (which we LOVE by the way, and the daybed was perfect for DD7). Just not good for a honeymoon and not good for a bad back.

The best beds on property are at the Swan, hands down. Westin Heavenly beds are wonderful. They are firm mattresses with pillow tops on them, triple-sheeted with nice duvets. It's not a recliner, but it's a darn nice bed.

If his back is bad, tell them to stay away from all Marriott properties anywhere they go; Marriott is notorious for using thin foam-rubber mattresses.

They might want to look at the Garden Suites at BWI. Very romantic for a honeymoon.

"The Garden Suites are designed for Honeymooners but can easily accommodate a family of four and are two stories. There are 14 Garden Suites and all but three have private entrance courtyards. The three that do not, have private balconies. The yards are separated by white picket fences that are about 3 feet tall. Each of the front yards are individually landscaped. At the gated entrance to the yard, there is a small decorative bird house with the room number on it. These front yards lead to the one and only entry way of the suite, and are being grown into manicured rose gardens.

There is a living room on the first floor and a bedroom loft on the second floor. The first floor has a TV, 1/2 bath, bread bar, and a queen size sofa bed. The 2nd level loft, in most cases, overlooks the lower level which creates a very large, vaulted ceiling effect. The three with private balconies have more of an actually separate second level. Either way, the second level features an elevated King size bed. Upstairs you will also find an addition TV, and a full bath with a giant Jacuzzi tub that will easily accommodate two people. There is even a third mini TV for viewing while in the Jacuzzi tub."
