You can definitely request it, but there are no guarantees. I had 3 women and a 10 year old boy and put in for that room configuration and when I got there they had not given it to me. After talking to the CM, she willingly switched to the two beds, one daybed. Those rooms are a little bigger than the other rooms, and above the entrance to the Grand. If you look at the Grand map, (SuzieQ posted it in another thread recently) you can see the rooms that are a little longer above where you pull your car in. Good luck!

Originally Posted By LuLu Hi mousegrl! Well, that is cool info. But if they were out of those rooms, then someone would get the sleeping bag! To me, it's a matter of budget and taste, if you want to splurge on the Grand, taking turns spending one night in a sleeping bag mightn't be a deterrent. If it came to that!
Originally Posted By mousegrl Totally! I had to fight (put on a very happy, polite aire-like that's not me all the time, lol)so I wouldn't get the sleeping bag option. But it all turned out in the end.
Originally Posted By MickeyMommy I would definetly choose PPH. All the rooms with 2 queens come with daybeds, and you can get a park view at the PPH for less than a standard view at GCH. Unless you are all small people - the GCH does have a room option with a queen bed bunkbeds, but the bunkbeds are for people 5'3' and under. Is there any reason you aren't considering the DLH? That is my favorite, and we have always gotten two queens and a daybed there.

Originally Posted By RoJo I've become a PP convert.My family has stayed there on our last three trips after staying at the Grand and DLH many times on our past trips.The view rooms are the best of the three hotels in my opinion and for the price of the Grand you can add concierge at the PP which right now I consider the best also.The view of the fireworks from the pool level is awesome and includes the audio portion of the show. The staff is not quite as stuffy or formal as they tend to be at the Grand.And besides, you can use all the amenities of the other two hotels and have a larger room to boot!
