Just curious...what did you choose lol?? We were at YC in March and really liked it, but part of its appeal was just trying something new. We love the pool at YC, but having more space in the Deluxe room at BWI certainly is nice, especially for a crowded holiday weekend so you can retreat to your room if the lounge is crowded. We were actually booked in a deluxe for this weekend too but switched to a two bedroom because we got a good discount and it has even more space. Did you just book that room recently? Wonder if you got the one I just canceled lol! I guess it just depends on how important the space is to you vs. the better pool. If you spend a decent amount of time at the hotel, I'd opt for the bigger room, but that's personal preference. As for your hotel choice for arrival night, we are too cheap to pay Disney prices if we have a late arrival night. We have stayed at a DS hotel before, but that can be a pain depending on your circumstances. Does your granddaughter like to sleep in while you are an early riser? If you all get up at around the same time, it's no big deal, but since our DD likes to sleep in, we have been opting for the Swan lately for late arrival night when we have a BWI stay. They have room service (I think until midnight) so we can order food when we get there since not much is open late around there. The burgers are really good FYI. Plus, we can leave DD sleeping in the room while we go to the BWI lounge early the next morning for coffee and breakfast and then walk back over to get DD and luggage later to uber back to BW. Not sure if you would be comfortable with that though since your granddaughter is younger...but I think we've been doing this for a few years?? We are able to use Marriott points at Swan though so it's probably a bit more appealing to do this for us?? I was told March for the renovation at BWI, but I will certainly be asking if that is definite or just a "probably" because we like to go for our anniversary in February!
