Handicap Accessible/Wheelchair Accessible Rooms
Note: The DISabilities subforum has a lot of great information about visiting Disney for guests who have physical limitations
I am not sure how many accessible rooms there are at the resort. I believe there are rooms for guests with hearing impairments and also vision issues as well.
Yacht Club Room 2147, shoreward, September 2016
As
MDE indicated about four days prior to check-in date, I was upgraded to a garden/woods view room; the room type was listed as GdWds WChrAcc RollIn OptHr 2Q. Since there was no room text by the time I arrived at the resort, I stopped at the desk. The CM said my assigned room was indeed the type listed in MDE, with the only difference from a standard room being the roll-in shower and no tub. The room text for #2147 arrived about 2:50 p.m. - about three hours after arrival.
The location was great - literally 15 steps from the elevators and just a few more to the main staircase leading to the lobby. The balcony overlooked the courtyard, with a small view of the lake, if turning toward the right. Facing toward EPCOT, the high fireworks could be seen and music heard from the balcony. Also being heard from the balcony was quite a bit of noise from SAB, which was concealed behind the trees. I think the noise level varies, depending on the wind direction.
As someone else mentioned, the door at this room type is on a timer and takes approximately 30 seconds to close; so, you need to stand in front of the door, waiting for the door to close. There is a wall-mounted door actuator (similar to what you typically might see when entering a store, for handicapped access), which was located just past the closet. As I found out, just an accidental bump against it will open the door for 30 seconds, with no regard for what state of dress or undress you may be in.
The room condition was fairly good - a few cracked floor tiles in the shower and small crack in a sink were the worst defects I noticed. A light switch, located near the door to the connecting room, was marked "desk lamp," but did not operate the lamp...until I pulled the lamp's plug and inserted it into the lower part of the outlet, instead of the upper, where it originally was plugged in. Also an issue was the way the bedside lighting was wired - the wall switch next to the right bed operated the far right wall-mounted sconce on the right side for each bed, while the other switch operated the left light for each bed. Another strange room feature was the location of the full length mirror - directly opposite the toilet and immediately next to the shower. Ugh! I did not understand why the mirror was not located on just the other side of the wall in the hallway - there was plenty of room.
The room had two queen beds, but no daybed, no lounge chair. The double sinks were located in the same room as toilet and shower, all behind a pocket door. There is limited counter space at the sink area.
There was a pocket door, which closed off the vanity, toilet, and shower from the rest of the room, unlike standard rooms, which have a door between the vanity area and toilet/tub.
I assume that the accessible rooms are all located near the main elevators

Wood Nymph, Room ????
We stayed in a handicap accessible room at the BC and the vanity was inside the room with the toilet and shower.
This room had a connecting door.

tinkerbella16, Rooms 1631 and 1633
Note to self: Go back and read original posts...
We had 3 rooms at BC a few weeks ago. 2 of our 3 rooms were WC Accessible - 1631 and 1633. We had regular tubs, not the roll in showers, but the bathroom was bigger and there were handles on the wall that pulled down if needed. I actually like that room because of the bigger bathroom. We were on the ground floor, right off the lobby. My parents room had the door that opened with the push button, mine was just a regular door (didn't work), and I am glad it didn't work since I don't like the door staying open that long. These were standard rooms as well.
These rooms did not have daybeds
