I'm part of the over 60 crowd and totally agree.

If you asked for a handicapped room they have a bar a shower chair and roll in shower. I didn't request a handicapped room but they gave me one on my last stay.

I am, at 60, appreciating the hotels (in and out of Disney) that have walk in showers instead of tubs. Tubs are hard to get in and out of safely.

@pod, I think I might get those. I am 65 and I too have always requested a walk in shower. I will so miss the TP form. I fell pretty bad in a Universal shower last weekend.

Oh no! @ PT! Thanks @pod. good idea even at my DD new house. For long trips I travel with old flip flops that I throw away end of trip. Those did save me in one incredibly slick shower. I also throw down hand towel in tub/shower, not foolproof

Sorry to hear @PT that's my nightmare. This CIDP has me pretty unstable.

I so appreciate the walk-in showers at POFQ, and I'm only 44 and still pretty steady on my feet.

I'm team bathtub. I appreciate how POFQ has both. That was my only room request this last trip. How do people with littles bathe them in rooms without tubs?

Walk in showers are great! We had one installed prior to my latest knee surgery and the handles were just what I needed.

Team Bathtub here as well. I end up pre-dispensing shampoo and body wash into plastic cups so that I can reach them from sitting.

We actually never use the tub with little ones (it secretly grosses me out), it's easy to just shower them off on their own or in with us

I am 60 and DH 65. We installed a walkin shower several years ago. I miss it when at Disney. Last summer I fell in the bathtub at GF on the first night. Ended up taking hand baths the rest of the week. The fall was rough and it simply terrified me.

Another team bathtub. For me and the little ones.

Would be nice if this was a bookable category. LOL!

Agree @popup. That way everyone can get what they prefer. I noticed some doors propped open at a Marriott recently and saw some had showers and some had tubs. So clearly hotels know that people are split on this. So nice that some are doing both.

@pod thanks for the info.! I ordered one for home bathtub & one to keep in purple Owner's Locker for WDW.
