On-Line Option for Disabled rooms now available

[BarryandCaron]

I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this, I haven't been on the on-line booking section for ages, but there is now an option for booking different types of accessible rooms on-line.

The different types are:

• Wheelchair Access with Tub and Option for Hearing Accessibility
  
• Wheelchair Access with Roll-in Shower and Option for Hearing Accessibility
• Hearing Accessible with Visual Alarms and Notifications
• Florida Special Accessible Room with Option for Hearing Accessibility

I've no idea what the Florida Special Accessible Room is

It confirms that there are no Theme Park views accessible rooms at BLT in studio or one beds Also not fully accessible rooms for standard view.

I was just about to post about this after seeing it on another forum.
Finally some info we can use
Just ahead of the new ADA deadline too

It confirms that there are no Theme Park views accessible rooms at BLT in studio or one beds Also no fully accessible rooms for standard view.

they seem to be getting around ADA by having some accessible features (but not those allowing wheelchair access) in all room categories

this is what we need (open framed bed) to get the hoist under over and above the roll in shower but they seem to come in 2 different categories plus told they are phasing these beds out

[loadsapixiedust]

It does seem odd that they would not include the open bed frame in the fully accessible (roll-in shower) category I know you have had some trouble with this. I'm not sure how accurate the info is as we had a fully accessible (roll-in shower) 2 bed at Kidani and all 3 beds in it were of the open frame type.
