Was Preferred King so I knew they would have to put me somewhere else, but we're not handicapped, I was worried that's what it meant, I'm the type of person that doesn't like to take those away from those who may really need them. Do you think I need to call?
I should probably caveat - that was my interpretation of what that code means. Usually you can 'read into' what it says and make educated assessments, but I'm not 100% certain. Hopefully someone more up to speed on accessible rooms can chime in. But I 'assume' TwrStdK WChrAcc Tub OptHr K is probably this room:
Tower - Standard View - King Bed. Wheelchair accessible with tub and option for hearing accessibility. 1 king bed.
Sleeps up to 2 Adults
- Wheelchair-Accessible Route in Room
Grab Bars at Toilet and Tub
Optional Communication Features for Guests with Hearing Disabilities Include:
Visual Alarm
Visual Door Knock/Doorbell Alert
Visual Telephone Call Alert
Telephone with Volume Control
Electrical Outlet Near Telephone Jack
TTY Available Upon Request at Check-In
These features are guaranteed and do not require an extra charge.
You can see a few photos on Disney's website if you toggle "accessible room" when you search. The only notable pic you may want to look at is the tub (which is an unusual feature as most Tower rooms have showers). I've cut/paste it below. At least if this pic is accurate there are two sinks and the counter looks only slightly modified vs the regular rooms.
But as to your question - in theory those that need an accessible room would have specifically booked them, so I don't really view it as 'taking one away' if Disney opts to give you an accessible room.
If this were me, I'd stick with the Tower upgrade over your Preferred King room. The tub seems like possibly a small concession. And if you get in the room and it just doesn't work for you, ask to see what you can do then.
But if it's bugging you, it doesn't hurt to call. Since Casitas is closed for the NBA G-League they are going to need to move you somewhere anyway given your original room category.
I've had some WDW accessible rooms you otherwise wouldn't know were accessible if not for a grab bar or two around the bath. We had a room one time at AKL where everything was low.... bed, sink counter (which in this room was just one sink, not the usual double), awkward shower, and some various other things which we really didn't like at all (relative to the non-accessible rooms).
Anyway - I hope that is helpful. Let us know what you do / how it goes.
