GC hotel-Quiet pool????

[waltskids]

We're leaving for DL on Sunday!! Just curious if the GC has a quiet pool besides its main feature pool? Thanks

Looking at the resort map, it looks like there are two pools in the same area separated by a hot tub? One looks like a std (quiet pool) while the other has a waterslide.

We just returned on Monday, having spent 3 nights at Hojos and one at the Grand Californian.

There are 2 pools at the GC. Between them is a wading pool for little ones and a hot tub, which is slightly off to the side. Then there is a second hot tub to the side of the slide pool (near the small kiddie slide)

Although we were there in mid July, on a weekend, the pool didn't seem overly crowded. yes, there were people there, but it wasn't packed. And I was told the hotel was pretty much full. We were able to walk up and get chairs, as someone was leaving.

It's a nice pool to relax around. There is bar and food service from Whitewater Snacks from mid day, on (I don't know how late). However, dh just went and got a beer, so he didn't have to wait.

If you are going to be there a couple of days, I think it's worth stopping at the store and picking up some beers and sodas in cans, and carrying a soft sided cooler. A single beer, with tax, is about $4. We did this at the DL hotel and nobody blinked an eye. We saw a few people doing this (it's okay as long as you don't have glass)

I'm not sure about the pool but if you haven't gone before be sure and find the outside patio on the back side of the hugh fireplace in the lobby. We had 30 minutes before we needed to leave and then we found it. What a disappointment! Take a drink out there and watch the rides in the late evening. Really nice!
