Originally Posted By Mteacups Thanks for the info LuLu. I don't think the girls will fit in these beds. What surprises me is that no mention was made of the bunkbeds being smaller at the time I made my reservation--they asked if I would like the bunkbeds and I knew the kids would love it so I said yes. Had I not read about it on here, I would have had no clue. I guess I will call back and see what my options are. Thanks again for your help.

It was a big hit with the kids, my two boys ages 8 and 11, and my 8 year old nephew.

Anyway, the bunkbed also has a trundle, maybe the girls could sleep on the lower bunk and the trundle and the 6 year old on the top bunk?

I guess I associate those with "budget" hotels like the Holiday Inn (kid suites) But then again, the GC always seems to have high occupancy rates, so what do I know?

Thanks for any help you can give me.
