It is strictly an in-house cot and has never been camping with us so it is in really clean, impeccable shape. Just let me know if you need it. Love, ºoº

Those rooms as well are pretty few and far between. Not many king beds at all on the Disney property. You can always downgrade your view but this will not guarantee you a room that sleeps 5. BTW the sleeping bags are themed more for a kid than an adult. How old is your DS? Most kids love the bags and some even "camp" on the balcony.

I just told our DS last night when we went looking for a cot that he would have to sleep on the floor and he was not very happy. Well I guess that I am not overly pleased either but my DH is very excited about finally having a room with the DTD view. LOL Our son keep saying he has dibs on a bed but our problem is that we have 4 adult and him so guess what its the floor for the young man. LOL I will let everyone know just how it all works out we leave on Wed the 27th at 3 A.M. Woo Hoo. Thanks again to everyone I really appreciate it lots. I may be calling you Mickeynewe tonight.

Originally Posted By 4Disnee We have always booked the CGH and we have always booked the rooms for 5 people. 4 adults and 1 child.

So I thought that was how all of the rooms in the hotel were until someone in another post said something about a sleeping bag. I was a little shocked when I am paying for 5 people to sleep at this nice Hotel and all. I still dont know what to do about our DS he is really not happy about the floor thing and I really cant blame him. So my DH has a mat that inflats some when you open it up and we are going to take it along if he does indeed have to sleep on the floor.

Originally Posted By tlovesdis Only the city view rooms have 2 beds and a couch at the Grand. We've stayed there 3 times, each time with 5 people, once with DTD View and twice with Theme Park View and each time it was just two beds and the sleepig bag.

Sleeping bags are NOT elegant and never will be. Sleeping bags are meant for camping and not for an "elegant turn-of-the-century" themed hotel
