I heard they are adding a family room in ToonTown and expanding the Bugs Life one so there is an actual changing area as well. Disney is great at accomodating

I haven't been in this one but I believe it might accommodate you.

(Anaheim Convention Center at the front street of the park called Kattela visable) from what I remember

In the end, we ended up staying on site because we also have 3 wheelchairs with us (grandparents) and it is just to difficult to try and transport all back to a motel that would require a shuttle or long walk, which the others seem to regardless of how long the foot count is. We have just found that this really makes the trip so much easier for all of us. We are heading the the Grand this time (1st time), but usually stay at the DLH and love it. And we have never had a problem with the monorail. All have loaded together, and while it may take a little longer than for those that can walk without problems, there is not an easier, faster way of getting to the park. I don't think others realize how hard it is to try and get a wheelchair through the park, most people don't yield a great deal of room. Best of luck.....I'm sure you will enjoy your stay!
Originally Posted By WOWOregon 5formickey....you are right that few people realize the challenge of getting the chairs through the park! We have learned there are certain hours it is not worth even trying! We are still torn between DLH and Grand. I see benefits to both! Thanks for the feedback. When is your trip?
Originally Posted By 5formickey Not until July. At the DLH, I would recommend the Dreams tower, it's our favorite, but if you go with the right attitude, I'm sure you'll like whichever you get. If you do happen to get a room that doesn't fit your needs, I recommend asking to trade rather than staying where you are not happy, they will try their best to work it out for you.

We do not really mind where we are....we will have a blast no matter what!
