GCH room types for King bed

[pascagoulabeach]

Anybody know what room type (standard, resort view...) has the rooms with a King bed and the sofa bed?

King beds are spread throughout the hotel, all view types. I have had a Courtyard (partial DTD) and Park (concierge above Napa Rose). King beds are a rare room type and bed requests are not guaranteed. Although we usually request a king bed, we seldom receive one (other guests have posted about better luck).

2 queens and a daybed is the rarest type: 39 rooms, all standard view, at the front of the hotel.

My wife and I have stayed at the Grand a few times and never had the luck to get a room with it. Requested, just did not work out.

Good luck,

Jack

There are only about 50 king rooms (out of 940+ rooms) through out the hotel, I don't know how many include a day bed.

We just returned from our first stay at GCH this weekend. I requested a 2 bedroom suite, with one king room and one room with two queens. When I reserved it, they said I had a "very good" chance of getting it, but reminded me it was still a request. We got it! Such a great, great suite (rooms 5166 and 5168 I think)! Even though on the fifth floor, in this area of the resort there is no 6 th floor, so our wrap around corner balcony opened to the sky! We had a view of the monorail in one direction, and a view of World of Disney and Space Mountain in the direction around the corner. The queen room had its own separate balcony facing the monorail, but this balcony did not connect with our wrap around balcony.

I know the King room was permanently configured to be a suite, ie the living room was connected to the King room via the big bathroom. The 2 queens room was a separate room that they connected to the King room suite by an adjoining door. This door could be closed off just like adjoining rooms in any hotel, making the queen room a regular hotel room, but the King room would always be a suite, not a regular King hotel room because the living room could not be separated from the King room. I wonder if most of the King rooms are not rooms at all, but permanent suites, making a regular King hotel room rare or impossible? Just a thought.

There are certainly "some" regular hotel rooms with King beds, since I've stayed in a couple
The exact number or king beds (and how many are in suites) is not known, but it is certainly a rare type.

The last two times we have stayed there (one Concierge, one "regular") we requested a King bed and got it both times. I'm not sure if that was sheer luck, but I had no idea it was hard to get a room like that.

To piggyback onto this thread, does anyone know if all the King bed rooms have balconies? We are booked in a courtyard view room. I've noted on our reservation that we're celebrating our anniversary and I've made arrangements for a romantic in room celebration (shh, my husband doesn't know) so I'm hoping that will give us an edge in getting one of the king bed rooms, but it would kind of suck to not have a balcony.
