we are a family and we have not been able to go to GC if all five are with us. when I was younger my mom would get a room and my dad would get a second one and my sister went back and forth, nice having parents who are divorced but always took you on the same vacation. A few times we had to get one room at PPH and one at DLH, just so they would not kill each other , only kidding, but they did. As we grew up and added my niece, we became 5, woew 10 years ago. My mom and dad don't fight anymore so we try to all stay together, but we have never been able to do this at the gc. First the bathroom is small, and not a seperate dressing area. Second my sister takes up all of the counter space. Third the rooms are very very small. They say you can put a mat on the floor in front of the closet, but the other side is the bathroom and both my parents get up at night so they will step on whom ever is there. We have done three at the grand but even that is small and tight.
As someone else said, studios only hold 4. If you get a bunk room, the kids can't be two tall, because the bunks are on the short side, and one child is on the floor, in a trundle bed. There are the few very few rooms with a daybed the room is slightly bigger, but not much so to me your even more squished. And lastly, it is first come first serve, so at $500 a night you maybe handed a sleeping bag and told sorry.
So as previous post have said, we have always if all going decided the PPH is the best for us, unless mom and dad are fighting, then different towers in the dlh. Oh one other way to get a good deal on rooms and get two, get ap rate in jan, or go military, you can then get a room for under $300 there.
I booked PPH yesterday, and for $8 more per night got concierge added. It took me a long time, but I was persistent. It was saying that price online but would not allow me to except the terms a do conditions. When I called in, they kept saying no it was $500 more. I kept trying and finally got the room and concierge for the Internet price. Today, I see it is $500, but I have my confirmation and we leave in three weeks.
