Accessible Rooms at POFQ??

[clkelley]

We are booked at POFQ in two weeks.

We had not booked an accesible room initially because we needed two double beds. (Two adults, two teenagers)

Hubby has a bad knee and uses an ECV at WDW and we have a shower with a low threshold at home so getting into the tub is not a problem at home.

His knee is getting worse and I was concerned about the tub at POFQ.

I had read the thread on them giving you two rooms if you needed an accesible room and they only had Kings.

I called CRO today to see about changing our reservation to an accessible room with a walk/roll-in shower to help hubby out with his knee and to also give us the second room to have more room for the ECV and a larger bed, 2nd room for the boys.

They did say they had one available and changed our reservation.

I asked several times if the room had two doubles and they said yes.

I'm hoping I didn't just totally mess things up.

I'm afraid one of two things is going to happen:

1 - We get there and it's a King Room and they have no other availability to get us a connecting room for the boys.

2 - It's an accessible room with two doubles and is smaller due to the roll/walk-in shower and there is no room to park the ECV.

So - Has anyone seen the new accessible rooms at POFQ???

Can anyone calm my fears???

Thanks,

Carol

I have been going round and round on this subject also.

POFQ I was told now has Accissable rooms with 2 double beds. I guess that is to cut down on all the "free" rooms they have to give up to accommidate 4 people in an accessible room.

I am also wondering this myself. We will be really cramped in there, we have 8 total with 2 rooms. will need 2 roll aways. I am not having my DD3 sleep in same bed as BIL.

Also DD can not sleep with sister, one moves too much, and needs her own space.

I am still debating on POFQ or changing to WL. have to see what type if AP rates come out for DEC.

I will be intrested to hear how the room is configured from you when you get back. Please let us know.

I called last night to change something on my res. Special services called me back this morning. (they were closed when I called)
Very nice CM- changed resorts for us. (we are doing a Grand gathering so it takes a few extra steps)

I was told that fully accessible rooms at POFQ have king beds. These are the rooms with the roll-in shower.

Hope this helps.

I switched to all stars- kids voted. it was also half the cost for Dec.

We just got back.

We had an accessible room with two double beds, except that it was a standard tub with grab bars.

The only other difference was there was a door in between the room and the bathroom instead of a curtain and there was no door in between the sinks and the toilet area.

The sinks were not pedastal sinks. There was a large counter with two sinks.

I'm sending pictures to Deb Wills, so hopefully they will be on All Ears.net soon.
