The deluxe for us was a full size kitchen including stove, oven and microwave. It also had a full double sink with garbage disposal, full refrigerator with icemaker in freezer, dishwasher. washing machine and dryer. Along the kitchen was a breakfast bar with two stools. The dining room had a dining room with seating for six. The living room had a pull out queen sofa, two chairs, wet bar type set up with sink and wine rack in living room, Tv, vcr and stereo. The patio was gated and screened from top to bottom with a round table and 4 chairs. A ceiling fan and light were on the patio. The bedroom had a King or California King (huge bed), a sitting chair, two night stands, tv, full size hot tub, large closet, vanity, sink and mirror. There were 3 doors. One led to the patio (there is also a sliding glass door in living room to patio), the second door leads into the living room and third door into the bathroom which contained another vanity and mirror, toilet, stall shower. Through this part of the bathroom is another door leading to another area, with another vanity and mirror!!!!!! 5 sinks total in this place!!!! This little room was used mostly for guests changing clothes after pool. ok phew I think I got it all. Now, the difference between our room and our friends room, who payed the same amount. They did not have a patio, oven (they had a convection/microwave), stereo, no dining room (a table in the living room with seating for 4), no double wide sink, but a small basin sink in kitchen, hot tub was more along the lines of a larger bath tub with jets, no breakfast bar. The entire room was smaller than our area. I personally did not see this room, so I am relying on my friends report and my husbands memory (he saw it).
My twin 5 1/2 year old boys slept on the pull out bed and were fine all week. My 18 month old son slept in a packnplay in our room. My husband and I were discussing whether to get a one or two bedroom next year. We are going to go with the one bedroom again. Once my youngest will no longer sleep in a packnplay, then we will go for the two bedroom.
Honestly, I do not know how we ended up with the deluxe and our friends did not. I can tell you a few thing that may or may not have made a difference. 1. When we booked thru Hotel kingdom, they asked if we would be willing to do the timeshare tour for $100. We opted to do this. Our friends declined. 2. Our friends checked in on Sat earlier in the day. We checked in on
Sun around 6:30pm. (Our friends did question why they were given a smaller room, the staff told them that when they checked in, that was the only room available at that time. They said they would be glad to switch their room, if the bigger became available. Our friends decided they did not want the hassle of repacking everything and stayed where they were. )
I guess if I were you, I would call Hotel Kingdom to see what they can do for you. I know that when we book for next year, I will do everything I can to get the bigger room. It was nice to have the space. We chose to do only two parks for the week, so we were able to enjoy the hotel. For someone who is going to be at theme parks a lot and not spending much time at the hotel, the smaller one would probably be fine. Good luck. Sorry to ramble. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
