So sorry you are having such HA troubles - shouldn't be too hard to figure out
These things happen. It's amazing how many non-disabled folks don't understand what the words "roll-in shower" mean. Dudes, it's just a shower with no lips and therefore no steps involved!
TELL US! What are the grandstand rooms like? Is it close to the snack bar, etc? 21 days for us
Thanks!

I'm in building 81xx, pretty much dead center by the elevator, ground floor. Out my front door is the bus stop. Directly across from the door is my van (parked since Sunday and feeling abandoned). In the morning it's a flip a coin choice over which I'll use. So far the bus won for MK (no having to park at TTC and wait for a ferry or monorail).
All the GS buildings are placed to view the golf course at various tees. Looks like we're on a bit of a hill too. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on POV) the golf course seems on its own hill. Our ground floor unit has a great golf course view but not much of the lakes in the distance (we just see the spraying fountains). Higher up I imagine you get a nice cross section of the resort.
Buildings 81xx and 85xx are separated by the pool and closest to the Carriage House. You walk by the pool (which is gated) to a lighted walkway and around the entrance circle by Bell Services to get to AP and HSR pool. Our last building (35xx) we walked the length of the building, around the corner and across the street to get to HSR then up to AP. It all feels just a bit shorter where we are now.
It would be even closer to a drink refill if the pool bar was open. Supposedly it's seasonal?
But still AP is so close it's an easy walk. We went over there last night for dinner. (The chef remembered us from last December.) Had the chef special: rotisserie chicken, garlic potatoes and corn on the cob. Used the DDE and paid $17 for two. So far our $12 refillable drink cups have had 3 refills. (But we don't have the new Year of a Million Dreams cups!!! Just some
DVC Spring '07 old style mugs. I want the cup holder size ones!)
GS is the first bus stop so for us with a
scooter and wheelchair it is the best. Means empty busses and plenty of HA seating. By the time we got to Springs yesterday morning, the bus was pretty full. Wait times haven't been bad at all. I think 5 minutes for the bus in the morning and it was waiting for us at MK in the afternoon.
What else? Oh, on the way to Bell Services take the golf cart lot path to the right and you'll be at the ferry dock. It looks like you can't go that way but you can. You'll hit the bridge to OKW and DTD along the way. (Don't take that path in the hot mid-day sun. Not much in the way of shade and it's very long.)
Lastly, the cool thing about a golf course view comes around 5-6pm. That's when all the animals come out to forage. We've been watching the ducks, cranes and squirrels lately. No bunnies yet but I'm sure they'll find there way. You practically trip over them in Congress Park.
Today we're hanging out here. I want to test out the pool and go for an early morning walk. Gotta explore Carousel. So far I've walked the SSR-OKW route, SSR-Congress Park-DTD and Paddocks-Springs-Grandstand. There are some outskirt buildings I'm sure, but nothing like OKW seemed to me. (As pretty as OKW is, mind.)
I can't wait to see pics! Have you seen my little otter buddy yet?
